Homoepathy

Homoeopathy is a complete system of medicine developed over 200 years ago by a German physician and chemist, Dr. Samuel Hahnemann.

Homoeopathy is a form of natural medicine which utilizes minute and diluted doses of extracts derived from nature, including plant and mineral compounds.
All medicines are prepared according to strict guidelines set out in international pharmacopoeias, and under the strict control of the Therapeutic Goods Administration, (TGA)

The very well-known and familiar principle that underpins homoeopathy is that of,

Like cures like

This is based on a law of nature, endorsed by Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine, the ancient healer, Paracelsus, that substances that produce illness or symptoms in healthy people can be used to treat similar symptoms in a sick person, if given or administered in a reduced and ‘potentised dose.

Homoeopathy is popular worldwide, and is recognized by the World Health Organization as a valid form of healthcare.

There are five homoeopathic hospitals in Britain, including the London Homoeopathic Hospital and these services are available under the National Health Service of that country.

In Europe, Homoeopathy is valued as a treatment choice and in France, the most popular cold and flu medicine is a homoeopathic one. In India there are 10,000 doctors who use this type of medicine to treat their patients.

Homoeopathic treatment strengthens a person’s health, acting as a catalyst, stimulating and directing the body’s ability to heal itself, whilst also resolving the underlying susceptibility to disease. In this sense Homoeopathy addresses the complexity of the person, which includes the physical and the mental spheres.

Homoeopathic medicine is gentle but likewise potent in its ability to stimulate a shift in condition and is incredibly safe, hence its popularity with the very young and old, not to mention our animal friends and pets.

This type of medicine is routinely given with conventional drug therapies, without adverse side effects, and all professional homoeopaths are registered with the Australian Register of Homoeopaths, (AROH)

As clinical director of Salus I have always had a high regard for Homoeopathy and believe it has a rightful place in complementary health care practices.
