"Homeopathy cures a greater percentage of cases than any other method of treatment. Homeopathy is the latest and refined method of treating patients economically and non-violently." Mahatma GhandiWHAT DOES HOMEOPATHY TREAT?
Almost any illness for which you would normally seek treatment from your doctor or consultant can be treated with homeopathy. Many people now use homeopathy instead of conventional treatment. Treatment also helps prevent illness by stimulating the immune system to bring the patient to his or her optimum level of health. Some of the reasons for choosing this system of healing include - it is completely safe and natural, there are no side effects and it is not addictive.

antibiotics/other drugs or the parents do not want their children to be reliant on medication. Not only can it be taken for common physical complaints such as recurring ear infections, coughs, colds, teething but it can treat illness that causes parents far more concern such as:

Homeopathy and First Aid
Homeopathy is unmatched in its ability to deal effectively, safely and quickly with first aid situations from a child banging her head on a table and developing an "egg" on her head or the slamming of a finger in a door to serious accidents involving multiple injuries. While a qualified practitioner is required to oversee the treatment of serious situations in conjunciton with conventional first aid, the treatment of minor mishaps is easily taught and any parent can go far with a homeopathic first aid kit. Sue Anello offers regular first aid and acute treatment classes to parents, empowering them to use the kit with confidence.
CAN I USE HOMEOPATHY WITH CONVENTIONAL TREATMENT
Yes, it is possible to have homeopathic treatment alongside conventional medicine and with other forms of alternative treatment such as reflexology and aromatherapy.
Give your homeopath details of any medicine and other treatments you are taking, as it is important for the homeopath to take this into consideration in order to prescribe appropriately.
If you are taking prescribed drugs or undergoing any other treatment it is important that you maintain the relationship you have with your G.P.
