What is Homeopathy?

Homeopathy is a way of treating illness which uses the body's own abilities to make itself well, based on the principle of "like cures like".

 

How does Homeopathy work?

Homeopathic remedies trigger the body's ability to heal itself by stimulating a precise reaction in the body against the symptoms.

 

The body naturally reacts against attempts to make it behave differently.  So homeopaths give a medicine (called a remedy) which in healthy people is able to cause a set of symptoms which are the same as the symptoms being treated in the patient.   When the body reacts against the remedy it reacts against the symptoms too, and the patient gets better.
