How does it work?

Homeopathy is an approach to healthcare that focuses on the body's intrinsic ability to heal itself. It is considered a holistic form of medicine, meaning that it focuses on healing the whole person as opposed to treating isolated symptoms.

The term Homeopathy comes from the Greek words "homoios" (similar) and "pathos" (suffering). Homeopathy works opposite to herbal medicines or pharmaceuticals. While the latter two try to resolve symptoms by giving a remedy with the opposite action, Homeopaths try to find a remedy with a similar action in order to stimulate the body's self-healing abilities. As a result of this homoeopathy is, in many cases, able to bring about genuine recovery and facilitate long-term health and wellbeing.
