HOMEOPATHY FOR HEALTH
I discovered Homeopathy
in 1991 when I had my first child. This led me on a path of discovery and fired my passion for healing, until I
finally qualified as a homeopath in the summer of 2006.
I studied first at the visionary Practical College
of Homeopathy, and finished my training at the South East College of Homeopathy in Lewes. This training has given me
the knowledge to develop a system of healing that is results driven and encompasses nutrition, herbs, flower essesences, and
diet. I
am fully insured to practice and am a registered full member of the SOHom (Society of Homeopaths), one of the
main bodies representing homeopaths in the UK.
I am also one of the Principles of the Southern College of Homeopathy, based in Tonbridge, Kent.
So why homeopathy? As a practitioner I cannot say enough about the benefits of homeopathic
medicine. And I am not alone - more and more I am meeting workers from the medical profession - nurses, as well doctors who
feel that homeopathy is medicine of the future. In reality homeopathy has been in use in countries throughout the world for
over two centuries. In many European countries, medical doctors use homeopathy along-side their traditional methods.
The
human body has an infinite capacity for self-repair. In today's society we think that if we have an illness - the only
way to correct it is with intrusive methods and medications. However many practitioners - natural as well as medical know
that it is not so. Homeopathic medicine facilitates the body's physical, and emotional recovery without causing more damage
to the body. This is a really important point - your body is yours to be responsible for, if you eat food that is not fresh
you will have a stomach ache, if you drink too much - you will have a headache - these are all warning signs that your body
does not like what is happening to it. In the very same way when a medication that does not agree with you is taken -
your body lets you know - so it's important to listen.
Contrary to what some may think homeopathy is not just suited
for minor illnesses. If you have ever seen a brochure on homeopathy which lists a range of illnesses that
they say homeopathy can treat? The list usually covers anything from a cold to multiple sclerosis. The reason for this
is because Homeopathy facilitates healing in any disease state. That's why homeopaths often receive patients who have tried
everything else with no success. Homeopathic medicine has been used for centuries throughout the world. It is widely accepted
as an important part of medical practice throughout Europe, Asia and Africa.
What is Practical Homeopathy?
Homeopathy is fundamentally an alternative form of medicine,
based on solid scientific principles. A ‘Practical homeopath’ is one who has had a vocational
training in the art and science of homeopathy. This provides the practitioner with a range of tools and concepts
that increases their ability to successfully treat clients.
• The science of homeopathy is based
on an energetic model of health observed through the careful analysis and evaluation of the vital energy
of the patient, backed up by the evidence of what needs to be cured followed by the most appropriate choice of method and
its application.
• The art is the use of the repertory,
in the choice of remedy/ remedies, the potency and the way the prescription is given.
A ‘practically’ trained homeopath has been taught
to use a wide range of ‘methods’ that have been developed since Hahnemann’s times and not just one method.
NB: Practical homeopathy is not a method! It is an approach to the study of homeopathy.
Why is the practical approach becoming necessary?
In the early days of homeopathy prescribing was done on just
a few chosen symptoms. The introduction of modern medicinal drugs, immunisation programs, an over-emphasis on an allopathic
approach to illness predominates, allied to stress, pollution and changes in people’s natural dietary habits means that
prescribing methods have had to adapt to modern problems. Dealing with high level of toxicity and its effects has become
a major part of practice. The complex pictures presented by modern clients need to be matched by an understanding of the range
of methods, and which particular method is the most appropriate at particular points along the healing process.
The modern homeopath needs to be able to use the main
methods developed so far and understand how they can be used to help in the choice of treatment. So, although the
‘classical’ method has its place and context for use, if you are taught to look at patients from one perspective
only the results are limited. It leads to remedy guessing and guru chasing in an ever increasing spiral of confusion for the
prescriber.
A ‘practical homeopath’ is one who has the ability
to prescribe from the most appropriate methods – a range of which have been developed by leading homeopaths over the
past 200 years.
Hahnemann was the first practical homeopath
in the sense that he never stopped changing and adapting his approach to meet the needs of the individual.
