Safe and gentle
Many people nowadays are aware that conventional drugs can have unpleasant and even dangerous side effects. This sometimes results in them being taken off the market due to safety issues, shortly after being introduced as "wonder drugs". Homeopaths are still using the same remedies that were in use 200 years ago, with new ones constantly being added rather than withdrawn. They are non-toxic and non-addictive.
Modern
Despite changing little in over 200 years, homeopathy is very much in step with today’s holistic approach to health, treating body, mind and spirit. It is the second most widely used system of medicine in the world.
Natural
Homeopathic remedies are made from plant, animal and mineral substances - such as holly berry, milk and sea salt - and undergo a process to remove any toxins, rendering them safe and gentle yet still with a powerful healing effect.
Ethical
Homeopathic remedies are tested on healthy human volunteers rather than on lab animals. This also means that the more subtle effects of a remedy on the mental and emotional sphere can be ascertained, rather than just the easily observable physical and pathological changes that are the basis of a conventional drug trial.
Cost effective
Homeopathy works by triggering the body’s own healing mechanisms and strengthening the immune system. This leads to raised health levels and more resistance to illness, and less need for repeat prescriptions and over the counter medication - or appointments with a homeopath! What's more, homeopathic remedies are generally less expensive than conventional medicines.
Permanent
Conventional medicine tends to address the symptoms of an illness rather than the cause. This means that the symptoms return if the medication is stopped. Homeopathy seeks to tackle the problem at its root, and is therefore more likely to lead to a permanent removal of the symptoms.
