Practical, Classical & Integrated Homeopathy

Classical homeopathy is the homeopathy that was practised in the time of it's founder, Dr Samuel Hahnemann, where usually only one remedy (medicine) was prescribed. This is still practised today, by practical and classical and integrated homeopaths. It applies the principle that, if you get the "right" remedy, then only one remedy is needed for the body to heal itself of that issue.

I have seen this in action, with my son's colic - where he literally unfurled his body and stopped crying for the first time in 6 weeks, when I gave him one remedy, and in many many other cases.

Classical homeopaths only prescribe in this way.

Practical and integrated homeopaths take a different approach. They take the view that because we live in a modern world with many layers of issues that can affect us, more environmental pollution, unhealthy foods, genetic markers etc, more inherited trauma, sometimes we need to support different aspects of a person's health and wellbeing at the same time. And because of this, practical homeopaths often prescribe more than one remedy at a time, working with layers of what could be affecting us at the same time. Sometimes we still prescribe classically, with one remedy, but usually prescribe more.

I am a practical homeopath, and use this approach in my practice.

Homeopathy is a safe & effective system of medicine developed over 200 years ago by German medical doctor called Dr Samuel Hahnemann.

It is the second largest system of medicine in the world, and is part of the national health systems of Switzerland, Germany, India, Cuba, Pakistan and other countries. It is the main system of medicine used by the British Royal Family and celebrities around the world.

Choosing from over 4,000 homeopathic medicines (called remedies), we choose remedies that act as a catalyst for the body to make itself well again using several principles. The main one is the “like for like” principle - giving a super diluted substance that might make someone sick, to stimulate a healing response. Like “hair of the dog”.
