WHAT IS HOMEOPATHY?

---

Homeopathy is a more natural and gentle therapy that allows the body’s own natural immune system to be activated and take control. To do this a homeopath uses highly diluted medicines that are either mineral botanical or mineral substances to treat specific ailments.

HEALING
Homeopathic medicines offer many advantages especially in that they are safe and easy to use. A choice of medicine is chosen on the basis of many symptoms ‘totality of symtoms’, that reflect all levels of health – physical, mental and emotional.

Treatment is based on ‘like cures like’- meaning a substance that is capable of producing a group of symptoms in a healthy person has the ability to remove them in a sick person. The medicine is introduced in either pillules or liquid form in which then the body stimulates its natural immune system to take over. They can be taken by all types of people with all types of illnesses including both acute or chronic illnesses.

The medicines are extremely safe to take in the use of children, babies and mothers.

STORAGE OF HOMEOPATHIC REMEDIES
Homeopathic remedies should be stored away from strong smelling perfumes.
Also keep away from other medications, microwaves.
Store in a dark cool place – cupboard.

CONSULTATION
Consultation initially can take up to 1hr or so. It involves taking details of past and present and on all levels physical emotional and spiritual.

CAN YOU TAKE OTHER MEDICATION WITH HOMEOPATHIC MEDICINE?
You can take other medication as well as homeopathics. However it is important that the practitioner knows all details and can inform you about how to take them away from other synthetic medication.

OTHER THERAPIES?

---

AROMATHERAPY
Aromatherapy is a wholistic approach using essential oils to treat ailments.
Essences are extracted from plants using a technique called distillation.
A trained aromatherapist has the ability to treat many conditions both physical & mental/emotional in different ways. They are generally safe for all types of people but again best to use them via trained therapists.

REFLEXOLOGY
Reflexology is the application of pressure, stretch and movement to the feet & hands to trigger corresponding parts of the body. A reflexologist can break up patterns of stress in other parts of the body. So the main feature for a reflexoligist is the nervous system, in which pressure is applied to the feet & hands to generate and move energy through the body, and thereby alleviating and improving your wellbeing.

RELAXATION MASSAGE
Relaxation massage is aimed at relaxing and indulging you. It includes a full body luxurious massage that uses gentle techniques such as kneading, rolling of the skin & muscle and gentle strokes. It improves circulation and increases oxygen to the skin. It helps to move the liquid within the lymphatic system which helps to move toxins out of the body. It also increases digestion of food , improves sleep and of course helps soothe ‘knots’ in muscles aches and sprains.

WHAT IS BOWEN THERAPY?
Bowen therapy is treatment that moves the fascia within the body using specific techniques. Fascia is the body’s organizer embracing all nerves, bones , arteries, veins and muscles. It stimulates specific points in the body that enables itself to correct dysfunctions and restore balance where needed. It can have profound and permanent healing and pain relief outcomes.
It is very safe and can be used on all types of people including babies , the aged and the unwell.

IRIDOLOGY
Iridology is the analysis of structures and patterns in the iris of the eye. The eye reveals body constitution inherited strengths and weaknesses, levels of health and shows stages of inflammation throughout the body. It does not show a specific named disease eg; arthritis. But it does show tendencies. It is a powerful tool for natural therapists as it can forewarn us about our health. Iridology and nutrition are almost inseparable. It can be safely be used on all types of people with no side effects only positive outcomes if a healthy regime is applied.

WHAT ARE TISSUE SALTS?
Tissue salts are biochemical cell salts meaning they are salts that are important for the functioning of the cells of our body. Once these are restored orally only then do we begin to feel more balanced .
They are very safe to take, economical and effective for short or long term use.
They dominantly used in family first aid for all types of illnesses and all types of people.

WHAT IS HERBALISM
Herbalism is the use of European & Native American herbs that are used in the prevention & healing of illnesses. It relies on the synergistic & curative properties of the plant to treat an illness & maintain well being.

A practitioner may choose to prescribe from fresh , dried or plant extracts. So not are they only used to heal illnesses but also to remove wastes & toxins from the body as well as promoting healing of the skin.

They are best prescribed by a qualified herbalist as they are trained in understanding the interactions and side effects (if any), of the herbs medicinal effects.

CELLOID MINERAL THERAPY
Celloid mineral therapy is based upon the principle that certain mineral deficiencies within the cells of the body may impact ones health. These imbalances may be corrected with colloid minerals.
Celloid minerals are well tolerated and non-toxic at prescribed doses. They are safe to be taken by all –babies, children, pregnant women and the elderly.
Again they must be prescribed by a natural therapist /naturopath only.
As for the results, they are more often than not reasonably quick.

TOUCH FOR HEALTH
Touch for health addresses the imbalance of energy and meridian pathways.
It helps to influence homeostasis within the body, by restoring all levels of health psychological, biochemical and anatomical in a non-invasive manner
This influence is created through ‘muscle testing’.
Muscles are tested for strength or weakness and through this means we find energy and muscular imbalances. Certain food and or mineral/vitamins can be used to achieve and improve health, along with a feeling of being more energized and balanced.
