Homeopathy and Naturopathy…How do they differ?

By Leave a Comment

Since joining the Harbord Homeopathic Clinic as a homeopath in February 2021, several people have asked me if homeopathy was the same as naturopathy. My response has been that they are different modalities of Complementary and types of Alternative Medicine (CAM) but they overlap in some aspects and principles. This question has inspired me to write this blog post about integrative healthcare, CAM, naturopathy and homeopathy in detail. I've included what they encompass, when they are used, their history in Australia, as well as the number of people practicing, … [Read more...] about Homeopathy and Naturopathy…How do they differ?

The Mysteries of Homeopathy and what I tell my clients

By Leave a Comment

How does Homeopathy work? One of the reasons homeopathy can be so tricky to grasp is because it requires a leap of understanding of concepts. Concepts which are outside the box of mainstream science. Many people dismiss homeopathy outright because we homeopaths use highly diluted substances of all kinds. How could anything so diluted possibly have any effect on the body? It’s no wonder homeopathy is such an enormous stretch for those steeped in mainstream science. But here’s the thing. Homeopathy may not happily be acknowledged by the limited orthodox view. … [Read more...] about The Mysteries of Homeopathy and what I tell my clients

From an abundance of Homeopathy research, the best bit is that it works on piglets so it’s not placebo!

By Leave a Comment

When the conversation turns to healthcare, I’ve got more than a couple of my personal adventures to tell people about. They are impressive and they involve using homeopathy with success. But while I know the stories are incontrovertible, the other person so often feels compelled to say “… but there’s not much research about homeopathy is there?” Or ask another question which may make me roll my eyes. However, in the spirit of there is no-such-thing-as-a-dumb-question I can choose to believe they’re just ill informed. The next time I‘m at a party, I will have my … [Read more...] about From an abundance of Homeopathy research, the best bit is that it works on piglets so it’s not placebo!

Homeopathy, glue ear and recurrent ear infections

By Leave a Comment

Recently I have been coming across many people asking if there is an alternative to antibiotics for ear infections and glue ear. A few years ago now, we did research on previous clients in our clinic who were treated homeopathically, to ascertain just how effective homeopathic treatment is for ear issues. This information is still just as valid today so I thought I'd re-post this blog I did on the homeopathic treatment of kids (and sometimes adults!) with recurrent ear infections and glue ear. ***** In the past couple of years we have been embarking on a … [Read more...] about Homeopathy, glue ear and recurrent ear infections

The History of Antibiotics Most of us would be aware of the life-saving effect antibiotics have had on literally millions of people since they were first manufactured on a wide scale in the 1940’s.

What many of us may not be aware of is that the word “antibiotic” can be applied to all kinds of different substances.
