Homeopathic remedies prescribed act deeply and curatively to stimulate the body’s own defense mechanisms rather than suppressing symptoms. Through its over 200 years history, homeopathy has demonstrated its efficiency treating diseases for which other forms of medicine have little to offer. Homeopathy is the second most widely used system of medicine in the world following allopathic medicine, with an estimated 500 million people receiving homeopathic treatment worldwide. People of all ages are seeking homeopathic treatment with a large range of needs from boosting overall health with preventive measures to the treatment of specific health problems. Homeopathy can work effectively in treating people with a wide variety of acute and chronic complaints, including skin diseases, colds and flu, allergies, digestive problems, infectious diseases, genetic or psychological disorders. Homeopathic remedies are natural, efficient, extremely safe, free of side effects - therefore being successfully used in children, pregnant women, extremely debilitated patients and pets. Every individual is assessed as a whole person and each case is seen as unique. The first consultation lasts about one hour and a half.
