Homeopathy in London
Homeopathy incorporates a series of natural medicines and treatments that trigger your body’s natural healing system. Similarly to conventional medicine, homeopathic remedies are prescribed for specific illness, ailments, aches and pains. However, unlike conventional approaches to your health, homeopathy is a holistic approach that takes every aspect of your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health into account. In homeopathy, the mind, body and soul are believed to be intimately linked. So, to heal the body, you must treat the mind — and vice versa.
Homeopathy has been around for thousands of years and has garnered a reputable reputation amongst wellness experts. Using natural remedies, it works on the theory that “like cures like” — a kind of healthy version of “the hair of the dog.” The substances that cause illness are diluted through a method called succussion — a process of vigorous shaking and mincing. They are then prescribed as a cure for symptoms. These cures are completely personalised to your needs. They are also totally safe to consume.

What to Expect from a Homeopathic Session?
Your homeopathic session will begin with an initial consultation, which can last between one to two hours. This time is an invaluable opportunity for your therapist to garner a clear image of your health and goals for the session.
Your therapist will ask you a series of questions about your medical history, your lifestyle, diet, and current emotional state. You need to be open and honest in your responses. As a holistic therapy, homeopathy takes all aspects of your life and being into account to tailor-make a program curated to your needs. The more information you provide, the better!
Once the therapist has a clear understanding of your particular issue, they will put together a tailored course of prescriptions that match your symptoms. These prescriptions may come in tablet, powder or liquid form. Unlike conventional medicine, these remedies are all entirely natural and completely side-effect free. They are also usually fine to take alongside any other medications — but be sure to let your therapist know of any medications you’re currently taking. Your therapist will also explain how much and how often you should take your homeopathic remedies.
You will need to arrange follow-up meetings with your therapist to assess the medication and adjust accordingly. These sessions are much shorter in length than the initial consultation but are still incredibly important to attend to get the most out of your homeopathic treatment.
