Homeopathy is a form of complementary medicine that gently stimulates the body's natural ability to heal itself. By treating the person as a whole Homeopathy not only addresses the symptoms you are experiencing but also explores the underlying cause of disease making treatment deeper and longer lasting. Homeopathic remedies are produced from very dilute forms of the original substance, are free from side effects and are not addictive. They are given in a liquid or pill form and are safe for all - even babies, pregnant women and the very frail. Homeopathy can used to effectively treat long term chronic problems and more acute ailments. Some examples of what homeopathy can be used to treat are: recurrent infections, hormonal disturbances, digestive complaints, circulatory problems, skin complaints, anxiety, depression, stress, emotional and physical trauma.

Rachel has a particular interest in the treatment of children and the use of homeopathic remedies during pregnancy and childbirth. Homeopathy can be extremely beneficial during pregnancy as many physical and emotional changes are occurring which can cause a number of minor health complaints. These include morning sickness, diarrhoea, heartburn, anaemia, varicose veins, cramps and emotional distress. Homeopathic remedies are ideal to use in this situation - they cannot cause harm because they only use a tiny quantity of the active ingredient. By being as healthy as possible during pregnancy you are giving your baby the ideal conditions in which to thrive.
