Resilience Through Suffering From A Homeopathic Perspective

By Leave a Comment

From Suffering to Strength with Homeopathy Nobody likes to suffer. Even before we’re born we are exposed to our mothers’ stress hormones; we startle from loud noises even whilst inside the womb and are powerless to prevent drugs, chemicals or other toxins to enter our developing bodies through the umbilical cord. From the moment we’re born into the world, suffering is inevitable. First there are sensations such as hunger, cold, heat, loneliness, fear and overstimulation when we are tiny babies. Maybe we have colic, or other digestive disturbances as our tummies … [Read more...] about Resilience Through Suffering From A Homeopathic Perspective

By Leave a Comment

Ask any homeopath if they have self-medicated at any time in their lives, and it’s highly likely they will look a little guilty and admit that, yes they have taken a homeopathic remedy or given their loved ones remedies without consulting their own homeopath. Homeopaths are a naturally curious bunch and most of us at some stage or another have explored various remedies for themselves. Self-medicating in homeopathy: is there a place for it? There is a saying that a doctor should never write his own prescriptions, so is homeopathy any different? If so, how?

Homeopathy for spiritual development

By Leave a Comment

Can Homeopathy be used to fast track Spiritual Development?   There are people who like to collect shoes or handbags. I like to collect experiences...... well, some experiences anyway. The not so nice experiences I have kept in the further-est closet of my memory like those old, mouldy shoes you feel you can't throw out for some reason but will never actually wear. I never knew why I had this hunger for experiences until coming across homeopathy, as well as a meditation group in my mid twenties. So far between the two practices, some of my biggest … [Read more...] about Homeopathy for spiritual development

Is there a natural treatment for sinusitis?

By 1 Comment

Antibiotics and conventional medicine can help some people with sinusitis.

Challenging Children: Success with Homeopathy

By Leave a Comment

One of the great strengths of Homeopathy is the treatment of behavioural problems. The history of homeopathy shows that it is not only in recent times that Homeopathy has laid claim to being able to help challenging children. As far back as 1842, Samuel Hahnemann, the founder of Homeopathy, described a 14-year-old-girl who was treated because she “spoke irrationally, could not work, rapidly gets in a rage and beats everyone, and became as if mad”. After three months using the remedies Belladonna, Hyoscyamus and Sulphur she “became a healthy, rational, amiable … [Read more...] about Challenging Children: Success with Homeopathy

What Is Homeopathy?

Wholistic medicine focuses on education and responsibility for personal efforts to achieve balance and well being. Therefore Homeopathy has earned it's … [Read more...] about What Is Homeopathy?

Sensitive children

By Leave a Comment

[byline_author] Some children have a nervous system that seems to be highly aware and quick to react. They pick up on subtle changes and like to think carefully before taking action. Sensitive children are easily overwhelmed by lots of stimulation, sudden changes, and other people's emotional distress. Some of these sensitive children can be a challenge to parent because they are quite active, emotionally intense, demanding, and persistent but other sensitive children are calm, turned inward, and almost too easy to parent. Where do you get help with these … [Read more...] about Sensitive children
