Homeopathic remedies are designed to bring into balance the entire human being, and so a consultation involves questioning even insignificant symptoms to establish the best remedy for the condition. An illness rarely has only one symptom. Conventional medicines are designed to treat a single condition, and often without intention cause others. These are listed as side effects but often cause more problems than they solve. As homeopathic medicines take into account ALL the symptoms a patient may display, side effects are already accounted for, and so the whole person comes into balance: mentally, emotionally and physically. Thus a homeopath can be consulted in many areas, often unaware that the remedy addresses all the others at the same time.
- Emergencies: People are often not aware that homeopathic medicine works very quickly and can be used in emergency situations or to stabilise an emergency while awaiting treatment. Having a variety of emergency homeopathic medicines at hand is more than useful. unfortunately many of these can not be accessed via chemists in South Africa, but can be obtained through registered homeopaths. Many homeopaths are available on call or can supply basic first aid remedies. In a future post I will list some of these.

Registered homeopaths in South Africa receive a medical training up to Masters level and are accepted by the international LMHI. They are trained in medical diagnostics, can obtain laboratory information and are licensed to do biopuncture. As conventional medicine becomes more specialised, homeopaths have taken on the role of general practitioners as they evaluated the whole body and not isolated systems.
Do yourself and your family a favour and take the gentle path to health.
