What is Homoeopathy?

Homoeopathy is an alternative form of medicine  developed over 200 years ago by a German Doctor in response to the dangerous and ineffective orthodox medical treatments of his time. Unfortunately our current orthodox modern medical system has not shown much progress in improving our overall health, despite technological advancements in their ability to save lives in a crisis. We have more chronic health problems than ever before. There is a continuing need for an alternative medical approach to balance the 'heroic' medical approach of modern medicine . Chronic disease is reaching true epidemic levels, especially in  children. Homoeopaths believe that to reverse this trend, healers need to understand how to work alongside nature, rather than attempting to dominate and control her.

What Can I Expect from Homoeopathy?

Initial disclaimer: Due to the Therapeutic Goods Act in Australia, Homoeopathy cannot make any claims to cure or be able to treat any named medical condition or body part/organ system. Please note my references to the ability of homoeopathy to help people is always in regards to its effect on the Vital Force or Spiritual Energy of the patient which then acts as a control system responsible for balancing any imbalances in a person's health.

Homoeopathy changes the subtle dynamic energies of a living organism, and these changes may naturally lead to further functional and physical changes. No direct physical change occurs from any homoeopathic medicine.

Homoeopathy has a basic core philosophy around health and disease, which is a stark contrast to Orthodox ('Modern') Medicine. This philosophy can be summarized in the following points:


  • Your symptoms represent the attempt by your body to heal itself, and these symptoms need to be observed and respected rather than suppressed. Your body knows what it is doing.
  • Each person presents with a unique individual response to stress and dysfunction, which requires an individually tailored treatment plan. There is no 'one size fits all' in the treatment of chronic or acute issues and the pursuit of health.  
  • Chronic disease is always a result of multiple events over your life, often starting in childhood. Understanding the path you have taken before arriving for help is as important as examining where you have ended up.
  • Medicinal substances must be gentle and non-toxic, doing no more harm to you. They must also be powerful and dynamic enough to affect the 'subtle' levels of a human being (see next point).
  • Disease involves all of you, not just your physical body. Treatment must prioritize your emotional, mental and even spiritual sufferings (true holistic practice).
  • The body does not see itself as a collection of separate parts, but a single functioning unit. The parts are connected to each other and must be treated as one organism. 
  • No permanent improvement to your long-term health can occur until the underlying cause of your chronic problem is brought to light. This underlying cause can only be identified and changed by understanding the overall pattern and nature of it. Treating every specific event without treating the cause will result in short-term benefits but a long-term decline in your health.       

Why Choose Homoeopathy over other Alternative Therapies?

Homoeopathy, while sharing some qualities with other forms of medicine, has fairly unique advantages.

  1. The mental and emotional health of the patient can be directly treated and improved. In fact, unless this happens alongside any physical improvement, homoeopathic treatment is not considered complete. Mental and emotional health is my primary focus in practice. 
  2. Conditions that began with a particular event or trauma are particulary sensitive to the homoeopathic approach. Homoeopathy has excellent results in resolving previous traumatic events and their consequences.
  3. Homoeopathy has unique way of processing substances which allows homoeopaths to produce medicines made from an enormous variety of materials, many of which cannot be normally used eg. snake poisons, heavy metals etc. The process of refinement and dilution means our medicines are completely non-toxic, as the specific healing property is transferred from the substance into the safe medicinal medium (water/milk sugar/alcohol).  
  4. Non-toxic homoeopathic medicines do not interact with other medicines or drugs, making it safe to use alongside other treatments if necessary.
  5. Homoeopathic medicines are safe to use on infants, pregnant women, the elderly and the very sick due to this unique way of process medicines.
  6. Homoeopathy can be used prior to any pathology appearing or being detected. By balancing out the Vital Energy or Life Force with homoeopathic medicines, the goal is to allow the body to prevent the pathology from appearing in the first place, where the body would moderate the intensity of its appearance, or reverse it before it has progressed too far. This is done by treating the Vital Force and the chronic disturbances which plague it.
