Homeopathy is a holistic and natural form of medicine that has been used for over 200 years. It is based on the principle of "like cures like," which means that a substance that causes symptoms in a healthy person can also be used to support similar symptoms in a sick person.

 Homeopathy is a natural non toxic form of remedy because it uses highly diluted substances found in nature. These substances include plants, minerals and animals. The remedies are prepared through a process of dilution and succession, which increases their energy and makes them more potent.  It is important to always work with a qualified homeopath and never self-prescribe remedies.

Homeopathy is holistic in a sense that takes into account the individual person and their unique symptoms, rather than treating a disease with a one-size-fits-all approach, it aims to understand why a client is not at ease. This holistic approach to medicine is in line with the natural principles of the body's ability to heal itself.
