Homeopathy and flower essences are gentle therapies that can treat a wide range of conditions including stress, anxiety, depression, insomnia, addictions, skin problems (eg: eczema, psoriasis, urticaria), asthma, allergies, hay fever, recurrent infections, gynaecological and hormonal problems, migraines, cystitis, thrush and digestive complaints such as IBS, heartburn and constipation. Optimum health is essential to living life fully and achieving our goals.
Fortunately, our bodies are naturally designed to heal themselves from within but this ability can be forgotten or weakened by experiences that seem out of our control. At these times, homeopathy and flower essences can act as powerful catalysts to re-establish the healing process. Homeopathy and flower essences can treat a wide range of conditions including stress, anxiety, depression, insomnia, addictions, skin problems such as eczema and psoriasis, asthma, allergies, hay fever, recurrent infections, gynaecological problems, migraines, cystitis, thrush and digestive complaints such as IBS, heartburn and constipation. Of course a diagnosis is not always available and homeopathy is particularly helpful in situations where tests and assessments have provided no answers yet symptoms persist.
Children also respond very well to homeopathy and essences which can help with colic, teething, sleep problems, bedwetting, recurrent coughs, colds, ear infections and behavioural problems such as ADHD. Essences are particularly effective on the mental/emotional/spiritual level and can bring about profound changes in outlook and mood. Modern life is stressful for many and essences are powerful tools to help deal with this, but even those whose lives are 'going well' can feel as if there is something important missing. In these situations, essences give clarity of mind and point the way forward, sometimes in an unexpected, yet welcome, direction!
Homeopathic remedies are usually given in the form of small white pills which dissolve in the mouth and taste pleasant; however they can also be given in liquid form. The essences used come from several different sets: Australian Bush Flower Essences, Bailey Flower Essences and Indigo Essences. They are given in liquid form with a small amount of brandy or vodka added to act as a preservative.
The first consultation lasts up to one and half hours during which a full case history is taken covering a wide range of symptoms. This will include details that may seem unrelated to your current condition but this is because homeopathy considers all symptoms to be interrelated and relevant to the selection of the appropriate remedy. Follow up appointments last up to 45 minutes and are usually 3-4 weeks after the first consultation. It is difficult to predict how long treatment will take because every case is individual but as a general guideline the longer you have had a complaint the longer it may take to resolve; however, most people will see signs of improvement and change after the first prescription. Advice and support is available between appointments via telephone or the internet and this service is included in the consultation fee. Occasionally an additional fee may be charged if a new prescription is needed or a greater depth of information is required to resolve the issue.
