I am often asked by clients, acquaintances and friends what can be treated with homeopathy. The answer is everything. Homoeopathy is good for all ages, from babies, children, adults and the elderly with all sorts of different ailments. We use homoeopathy for acute problems like cold, flu, throat or ear infection, as well as for ongoing chronic conditions like asthma, eczema, irregular periods, menopausal issues, ADHD, Autism, musculoskeletal disease, heart or kidney disease, to mention a few. The reason for homoeopathy to be so versatile is that we do not treat the disease, but the person. The homeopathic remedies help the body to rebalance and heal itself; the remedies act as a catalyst. The body does the healing.
Another question is, can you, as a homeopath, treat a certain condition like MS, stroke, fertility issues or Autism? And the answer is again -Yes. Every homeopath can treat a wide range of conditions. We do have personal interests in different problems, and depending on experience, sometimes we tend to see more people with the same problem. Homoeopathy is not like conventional medicine, where you see a neurologist, cardiologist, or gynaecologist depending on the condition you have. You can have a homeopath who looks after the children, parents and grandparents from one family and they all may have different problems. Treating different health problems makes our work more interesting. The process is always the same: you take the case and find the most important and disturbing symptoms which the person in front of you wants help with. Then, using a Homeoparthic repertory, you find what remedies have these symptoms, and then you choose the most appropriate remedies for your client.
