The remedies
Remedies are safe, non-toxic, not addictive and are not tested on animals. They are suitable for use during pregnancy and for the treatment of babies and children. One of the basic principles of homeopathy is that ‘like cures like’. This means that if a large dose of a substance produces symptoms, then a very small dose will cure similar symptoms when given as a homeopathically prepared remedy.
Examples of this are;
- Coffee which is a cause of insomnia; homeopathically prepared Coffea is a remedy for insomnia,
- Arsenic is a well known poison which causes excessive thirst, burning pains, abdominal cramps, vomiting and watery diarrhoea, homeopathically prepared Arsenicum is a remedy for gastric disturbances which have vomiting and diarrhoea with burning pains and thirst.
Remedies are taken from many different sources. Because they are greatly diluted to give the minimum dose needed to provoke a response, those substances which in their natural state would be poisonous, e.g. Arsenic, are made harmless.
Can I stop taking my long term medication?
Homeopathic remedies can be taken alongside medicines prescribed by your doctor. Do not stop taking or reduce the dose of any medicine your doctor has prescribed for you. In many cases it is possible to use homeopathy to reduce your conventional medication but this should be done in consultation with your doctor.
