Homeopathy - a brief explanation
Homeopathy is a system of medicine that treats the whole person, not just the illness diagnosed. People arrive at the point of ill health via many different routes - inherited weakness, a recent or long term sadness perhaps from bereavement, an early life trauma or maybe just for too long ignoring the body's cries for a rest!
The symptoms presenting are the body's way of attempting to heal itself.. Homeopaths call this healing power the vital force and this works tirelessly repairing, renewing and eliminating to maintain perfect balance. The homeopath's job is to discover what was the trigger for the presenting symptoms and to offer a remedy to support the body's healing process.
The remedies are completely safe for babies through to the elderly or frail. Most people have experienced Arnica as a remedy or used it topically and marvelled at the rapid rate of recovery from a nasty shock or serious injury. The word Homeopathy comes from the Greek word meaning 'similar suffering'. An example of this would be the remedy Allium Cepa (Onion) to relieve a watery cold or hay fever with stinging eyes. Longer term chronic conditions will take some time to unravel and clear using deeper acting remedies.
About Judith
My father was a keen advocate of homeopathy and our family doctor was a homeopath. It seemed the most natural thing to me to suck a few sugar pills whenever I was feeling off colour and it was only later I understood how unusual this was in the 1950s. I always kept a minimal first aid kit which came in useful many times, especially when my son was small dealing with coughs and colds and minor injuries.
I attended adult education locally for a year to learn a little more about the subject and became inspired by the potential offered by homeopathy to treat and cure serious and debilitating conditions. I went on to study with the Lakeland College at Regents Park over the next three years, a life changing experience.
I have continued to expand my knowledge and notably have studied the Fertility Programme set out by Australian homeopath Liz Lalor with which she has achieved outstanding success in formerly childless couples.
I am also a certified practitioner of the protocol designed by the late Dutch homeopath Dr Tinus Smits which he has called CEASE (Complete Eradication of Autistic Spectrum Expression).
