Homeopathy
Homeopathy treats physical, mental and emotional states. I also use Organotherapy and drainage remedies to treat specific organ weaknesses, wether these manifest as deficient or excessive. For example Hypothyroidism (deficient) and Hyperthyroidism (excessive).
Organ remedies aim to tone specific organs, helping bring them back into balance or maintaining support for them. They are also useful in mediation inflammatory processes in the body.
Drainage remedies act upon the organs of elimination, such as skin, kidneys, liver and lungs. Detoxification combines the process of drainage and elimination. Drainage medicines aim to stimulate the organs of elimination and increase their eliminative power, thereby remove toxins.
Bach Flowers
I also prescribe Bach flowers where deemed appropriate
