What is Homeopathy?
Homeopathy is a 200-year-old system of medicine that involves treating the individual with highly diluted natural substances (given mainly in tablet form), which triggers the body’s natural system of healing. Rather than trying to sort out a problem by purely treating the symptoms, homeopathy looks at why you are suffering from the symptoms in the first place. Giving the body naturally what it needs to fight an infection or to improve health brings long-term health benefits, not just a quick fix.
Homeopathy is an individualised prescription that causes a reaction in the patient, this reaction cures the patient.
This is a QED report on the history and validity of homeopathy
Homeopathy: Medicine or Magic ? by TonyE1000
Dr Samuel Hahnemann founded the system of medicine that is now called Homeopathy because he was unhappy with the results he was getting with the drugs he had available at that time. He decided to investigate the therapeutic effect of Peruvian Bark which was used in the successful treatment of Malaria. He researched on himself and colleagues and demonstrated that the healing effect resulted from the Law of Similars.
He continued investigating the action of other substances and kept meticulous records of his research. When he started to use his new knowledge on his patients he found he got less side effects and quicker results when he diluted and potentised the substance. We continue to use his methods today and, unlike research in other disciplines the results we get today explain what Hahnemann witnessed, rather than disprove it.
This is an interesting discussion which explains more
Using Hahnemann's methods, substances are processed by the Homeopathic Pharmacies in a way to make them safe and effective to use for all ages, including children, pregnant women and even animals. I find that Helios Pharmacy who have branches in Tunbridge Wells and Covent Garden provide an excellent service.

How Does Homeopathy Work?
There is currently a lot of debate about homeopathy and whether the effects people see every day can be 'proved' by current scientific methods. Here are a couple of websites that offer information
