Conditions Treated

Before reading the following list, please understand that effective homeopathic treatment is never prescribed to a named medical condition but to the patient as a whole. A treatment will be chosen for you because it resembles a pattern of symptoms on all three levels: mental, emotional and physical, and not because it suits a medical diagnosis.

This means that there are no "specific" remedies in homeopathy. What works for your hay-fever will not help someone else; and the treatment that helps one person’s hay-fever may also be recommended for another’s period pain, as an example.

We make no claims to be treating medical conditions as such, but in effect treat patients for their body’s pattern of ill health. Our philosophy is that only the body cures, not medicine, and that everything in the body is connected. Any improvement is then due the restoration of health in the person as a whole. (Please read the pages homeopathy explained and patient information for more explanation).

Treatment will only be determined in consultation, through an extensive case history, and individually compounded, labelled and dispensed for your unique pattern of ill health.

No over-the-counter sales are done in any circumstances and no pre-prepared products or mixtures used, all of which are produced by manufacturers to supposedly treat a specific condition in all patients. This is alien to the approach in this clinic. We do not see or refer to our remedies as "products".

Also, please understand that no attempt is made to take patients off their prescribed medication without sending them back to their GP or specialist for reassessment after a period of treatment and improvement, and that we do not treat life threatening conditions.

And if patients consult us first and we suspect serious problems, we will always refer them on for medical investigations before treatment.

Once you understand this, please scroll down. The list below, and the separate pages on the side bar, should only be viewed in light of the above.

...In fact almost anything can be potentially treated by homeopathy, but as always the focus is on the whole person, not just the diagnosis. That is the key in aiming for a successful result!

All Age groups and their Typical Problems are Treated: Babies, Infants, Young Children, Teenagers, Pregnant Women, Mature Adults and the Elderly

While all age groups are treated, homeopathy is especially useful for children, who have problems swallowing herbs or vitamins. Homeopathic medicines are tasteless. They are easily administered, both to babies and older children and are perfectly safe (even for pregnant women). Ear infections, bronchitis, colds, tonsillitis, sinusitis and other acute complaints may be quickly resolved, but also the recurring tendency for these complaints can often be eradicated. These medicines are also particularly useful for typical childhood infections like ringworm, impetigo (school sores), molluscum contagiosum and roseola.

You are Treated as a Person, not a Medical Problem...Hence Restoration of Health can Result

Because homeopathy looks at the whole person, including the emotions, the mental outlook of all age groups should improve with treatment, and difficult, aggressive and hyperactive behaviour in children, such as that labelled ADHD, is very effectively treated. Also fears, night terrors and restless sleep are usually improved in a matter of days.
