Homeopathy is an holistic medical system used to manage a variety of acute and chronic conditions for over 200 million people worldwide . 
Based on the principle of 'like cures like' homeopathy uses minute ​​doses of different substances to stimulate the body's own healing process. 'Like cures like' simply means that if a substance can cause certain symptoms in a healthy individual then it can be used in the management of the same symptoms in a sick person.​
It has been used for over 200yrs worldwide and is recognised by the World Health Organisation as a valid form of health care. ​ It may be used from infancy through to old age and during pregnancy.

Do they have side effects?
​Can I take it with my regular medication?

No to side effects with homeopathics but there may be minor ones with supplements depending on what you are taking. And yes you can take homeopathics with the medication your GP has prescribed. Not all supplements are compatible with all medications but I will do a thorough check before prescribing for you.
*​It is important to let your healthcare provider  and doctor know of any medications or other remedies you may be taking.​

How do I take it?

There are several ways to take homeopathics but none involves any large pills or vile tasting medicine.  Phew you say!  Indeed!  Homeopathics are generally dispensed on little sugar pillules that you place under your tongue and allowed to dissolve. Or they may be in drops that you also place under your tongue.

Are there any tests?

Sometimes I will suggest testing.  But not always. 
There are a variety of tests that may be ordered including hair analysis, blood tests, urine and hormonal profiles, 

But how does it work?

 The latest development in homeopathy has been the discovery of nanoparticles in the science world.  This is now strongly considered the leading theory in how homeopathics work.  People far more knowledgeable than I in the field of nanoparticles are suggesting that the higher surface area to volume of a substance causes a greater effect. 

What is prescribed?

This is very dependant on the individual case. It may simply be homeopathics or it may also involve a small number of supplements.
​Sometimes a multi modal approach is best.  
If you specifically want just homeopathics or just supplements I am happy to work within your needs.
