Homeopathy and Biopuncture

Homeopathy

Homeopathy was developed by the German physician Samuel Hahnemann in the late 1700s. It rests on the principle of similars, the idea that a substance able to produce symptoms in a healthy person may, in a highly diluted and specially prepared form, be used to treat similar symptoms in someone
who is unwell.

In South Africa homeopathy is a registered profession, studied over a master’s degree.

What this means in the consulting room is a lot of questions. Two people with the same headache may need quite different remedies, so I want to know when it started, what makes it better or worse, how you sleep, what you crave and what is going on in your life.

The prescription comes from that detail, which is why no two are quite alike.

Where it helps, I may add plant based medicines, nutritional supplements and practical advice on diet and lifestyle.

Homeopathy works alongside your medical care, never in place of it.

Biopuncture

Biopuncture uses small injections of natural, low dose substances at carefully chosen points, often around areas of pain, tension or old injury. It sits neatly between my homeopathic and chiropractic training, and is often combined with either in the same visit.

Before any treatment I explain exactly what is used, what you may feel and what to expect afterwards.

I also teach biopuncture to other practitioners.
