Homeopathy is the longest established CAM (Complementary and Alternative Medicine) to have arisen in Europe. It was founded by Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843), who grew up in Meissen in Germany and received his medical degree in Erlangen in 1779. The basic principles of homoeopathic medicine are, “similia similibus curentur”, “experimenta in homine sano”, “doses minimae” and “unitas remedii”. A remedy which provokes a similar picture of effects in healthy persons is finally employed as the homeopathic therapeutic agent (law of similars).
Using Homeopathic medicines to heal requires one to best match their symptom picture to that of the medicine. There are thousands of Homeopathic medicines and each one addresses a keynote symptom which is specific to that remedy – hence our name keynote remedies. The Homeopathic medicines have been carefully selected by qualified Homeopathic practitioners who have been practicing for over a decade. There are combinations of a few Homeopathic remedies together, known as complexes, used to target a specific ailment. There are also single Homeopathic remedies or simplexes, these are used to target your symptom picture as a whole including mental, emotional and physical symptoms.
Homeopathic medicines are gentle acting and can produce long lasting effects. Due to their gentle nature they can be used for newborns to the elderly.
