Homeopathy

• is a safe, gentle and effective system of medicine

• can be used to treat a wide range of conditions

• is non addictive and suitable for everyone including babies, children, pregnant women and the elderly

• can be used alongside conventional medicine

• helps to bring the body back into balance by addressing the underlying cause of disease and stimulating the body’s natural ability to heal itself

In all cases a detailed medical/family history will be taken, lifestyle and nutrition discussed in order to ensure that the prescription is tailored to the individual.

Some of the conditions that can be helped:

Pre menstrual tension (PMT or PMS)
Homeopathy can be of great benefit in helping to balance hormones and the possible use of nutrition and supplements to support the reproductive system.

Infertility
Homeopathy can be used along side conventional treatments such as IUI and IVF. As homeopathy treats the whole person, taking into account not only the physical symptoms but also the emotional state, it can be very beneficial in supporting a couple through the roller coaster of emotions when undertaking conventional fertility treatments.

The case history will look particularly at the menstrual cycle and endocrine system. Diet, lifestyle, nutritional supplements may be discussed and organ support remedies may be given along side homeopathic remedies.

Pregnancy
Many ailments associated with pregnancy can be helped by homeopathy when conventional drugs are to be avoided e.g. morning sickness, heartburn, constipation, even malpresentation such as breech, may be corrected by remedies such as pulsatilla.

Post-natal problems for mother and baby such as baby blues/post-natal depression, sleep problems for both mother and child, colic, teething, breast-feeding, mastitis. Homeopathic remedies can be used to aid healing following delivery i.e. the scar following a Caesarian section or the perineum following a tear or an episiotomy. Sometimes women just need to talk through their delivery with someone who has an understanding of what they have experienced.

Menopause
Hot flushes are a common feature of the menopause and often troublesome to many women. Although the symptoms of the menopause are common, how they affect the individual varies greatly. Homeopathic remedies support the hormonal and emotional aspects of this transition. Nutritional and lifestyle advice may be of benefit and possibly dietary supplements where necessary.
