Homeopathy is an alternative medicine which involves treating the individual with highly diluted substances, given mainly in tablet form. The aim is to trigger the body’s natural system of healing. Homeopathy is based on the principle that you can treat ‘like with like’, that substance which causes symptoms when taken in large doses, can be used in small amounts to treat those same symptoms. Based on their specific symptoms, a homeopath will match the most appropriate medicine to each patient.
