VIBRANT LIFE NATURAL THERAPIES HOMEOPATHY

A simple explanation of homeopathy is that it is an energy medicine which stimulates your body’s innate healing. When the remedy stimulates your body’s healing, the response is often very quick and gentle. Symptoms which once plagued you daily can disappear as you begin to enjoy life again. 

The aim of homeopathy is to restore balance to the mind and body without the need for ongoing medication (although medication should only be stopped in consultation with your Doctor).  Homeopathy can be used as a therapeutic modality on its own or it can be combined with a naturopathic approach especially to provide effective nutritional support.  

A naturopathic consultation will involve the prescription of a range of supplements or herbs, whereas a homeopathic consultation will most often result in a single medicine as the initial treatment.  Some nutritional supplements may be prescribed for ongoing maintenance once it is clear that the homeopathic remedy that has been chosen for a person is well suited and having a beneficial and therapeutic effect.  

A homeopathic consultation considers an individual's current symptoms as well as past and present life stressors.  It is not necessary to have a disease diagnosis or label to be able to provide effective treatment.  Homeopathy can provide support for the relief of both chronic and acute conditions for any person at any age.  In most cases it is also possible to use homeopathic medicines at the same time as prescribed medications without any concern for interactions.

Anne practices traditional homeopathy using a wonderful innovation known as homeopathic facial analysis (HFA). HFA has brought homeopathy into the 21st century while upholding the traditional teachings of it’s founder Samuel Hahnemann. 

Homeopathic Facial Analysis (HFA) is a diagnostic technique where an individual's facial features are analysed (using digital photography) to help determine the best choice of homoeopathic remedy. The face is used because the type of internal energy we have is reflected in our external appearance, particularly the face. The internal energy, also known as the survival instinct or defence mechanism, is responsible for immunity, nervous reactions, emotions and our physical structure (especially the face!) 

When this pattern of internal energy is considered in prescribing a homoeopathic remedy, the healing which results is deep, long lasting and strengthens our whole system to be able to increasingly withstand the effects of stress which occurs in our daily lives. 

The result of using homeopathic facial analysis is that each person can be determined to belong to one of seven groups. Each of these groups uses different strategies for survival in daily life. A homoeopathic remedy chosen from your correct group will assist in balancing the survival instinct so that you can function on an effective, calm and positive level rather than from a stressful, anxious and unbalanced perspective. 

When our whole system is in balance we can achieve optimal long term sustainable health.

A homeopathic remedy comes in either a liquid form or in small pillules. Traditional homeopathic remedies have been prepared following a specific process which involves dilution and then succussion of the substance.  The result is a medicine which is termed an energetic medicine as it does not contain any of the original material substance.  

The medicine acts on the mind and body systems to provide more energy.  For example, after taking a homeopathic remedy the immune system will have more energy to work effectively but not excessively, therefore assisting the body to return to a balanced state of health.

Results will vary on a number of factors such as:

• how long you have had the symptoms or condition
• is the imbalance acute or chronic
• what other lifestyle factors are influencing the state of health
• whether or not the chosen remedy is the best fit for the current presenting condition

Having said that, sometimes improvements are noticed quickly within minutes for acute conditions to a few days or weeks for chronic conditions, when the remedy chosen is the best fit or otherwise known as the similimum.
