Homeopathy is a holistic system of medicine. It works by stimulating the body's own natural ability to heal itself. It aims to make you generally healthier as well as treating specific problems.

Homœopathy has been practiced for over 200 years. In 1796 Doctor Samuel Hahnemann discovered that if a substance can create symptoms in a healthy individual, it has the potential to cure those symptoms in a patient.

This is the 'law of similars', which treats 'like with like'. Preparing onions can cause streaming eyes, a symptom 'similar' to Hay fever sufferers, thus Allium Cepa (red onion) could be used in its homœopathic form to treat those symptoms . Treating with similars results in the body being brought back into a state of balance.

Homœopathy cures from the inside out, by targeting the cause of the problem. It does this by assisting the individual's natural defense mechanisms and curative abilities. It improves the body's powers of recovery and strengthens resistance to illness. In addition, and just as important, effective homeopathic treatment increases energy and enhances the sense of well being and fulfillment.
