I began my career in healthcare as a nurse working in intensive care units in the 1980s and began training as a homeopath in 1989. I have many satisfied patients and have used homeopathy almost exclusively to treat myself and my family for 25 years. I am now past retirement age and work part time; appointments are available two days per week, usually Monday and Tuesday. Homeopathy is a system of medicine that uses remedies based on the principle 'like cures like'. Remedies are prepared from all the kingdoms - animal, plant and mineral - in potentised form. Potentisation retains the spirit of the substance whilst removing the physical material. The action of a homeopathic remedy is not biochemical and therefore remedies do not produce toxic side effects. The body has an in-built ability to heal itself and this principle lies at the heart of homeopathy. A homeopathic remedy can help the body return to healthy balance.
