 Homeopathy
The underlying theory to homeopathy is "like cures like." To cure an illness, homoeopathists prescribe tiny amounts of an herb that would normally cause your symptoms if you were healthy.
The most important thing to remember about homeopathy is that the herbs used are extremely diluted. Pregnant women, children and the elderly are able to use homeopathic remedies (as prescribed by a licenses homeopathic doctor) without fear of harmful side effects.
In addition, homeopathy encompasses much more than your physical discomfort. Your practitioner will likely talk with you for almost an hour during your visits and note your temperament and general disposition in addition to your complaints. Your symptoms in conjunction with your temperament are used to design your prescription.
