What is Homeopathy?
It’s been around since Greek times, but Homeopathy, as we know it today, can be traced to Dr Samuel Hahnemann in the 18th century, with the London Homeopathic Hospital founded in 1849 and homeopathy available on the NHS since 1952.Homeopathy is a holistic system (ie it takes into account the whole person, not just the symptom) and works on the principle of like cures like. It stimulates the body’s own healing response with micro-doses, instead of conventional treatment that would aim to suppress a symptom (eg a ‘painkiller’). As a simple example, someone with watering eyes and a streaming nose could take a homeopathic dose of onions (allium), because if you chopped them with absolutely no symptoms, that’s what it would do to you.
Are Homeopathic Natural Remedies Safe?
Yes, anyone can use them and, because they use such tiny micro-doses, they’re totally safe. However, a word of warning: you may find you get worse before you get better! This is completely normal and a sign the treatment is working. Weleda advises “stop taking the remedy until the aggravation has passed and only resume if necessary. Aggravations are most common with skin disorders, as the body “throws out” the disease.” Note it’s best not to use them if you’re pregnant, and anyone under 2 years should not receive treatment.
