Homeopathy in Kendal, Cumbria, with Liz McWatt, Member of the Alliance of Registered Homeopaths.
What is Homeopathy and how can it help me?
Homeopathy is an extremely effective therapeutic system which has verified experimentally and clinically and has been used for over 200 years. It was originally devloped by Samuel Hahnemann. Homeopathy emphasises the importance of treating individuals as individuals and of understanding the whole person as opposed to only understanding a single "diseased part". In this way it acts not by superficially supressing symptoms, but aims to bring about a lasting cure by healing the individual from within.
- It works on the principle that 'like treats like'. An illness is treated with a medicine which could produce similar symptoms in a healthy person.
- The active ingredients are given in highly diluted form to avoid toxicity. Homeopathic remedies are virtually 100% safe.
- It works in a dynamic way influencing the bodies energy
- Homeopathy is successful in treating a wide range of conditions, often after conventional medicine has failed.
- Prescribing is based on all aspects of a patient's condition. The patient's personality and lifestyle are important.
- Homeopathy integrates well with conventional medicine.
Homeopathy Consultations
When you make an appointment to see Liz for a homeopathic consultation, she will send you a questionaire to fill in and bring with you to your first appointment. At your first appointment she will ask you to tell her in detail about the problems you are wanting help with; she will also ask for details of your medical history, any treatments you may have had and your general state of physical and emotional well being.
Your first consultation will take a little longer than the follow ups, usually about 1½ hours, the following consultations will be up to an hour long.

The highest ideal of cure is the speedy, gentle, and enduring restoration of health by the most trustworthy and least harmful way." -Samuel Hahnemann, founder of Homeopathy
