Amongst the wide range of therapists who use , homeopathy features as an important area of specialism. Some counsellors train in both disciplines, although it is far more common for homeopaths to be specialists. Homeopathy is a complementary medicine that is based on the principle of "similium" – like cures like. The principle has parallels in mainstream medicine, the most notable examples being antidotes and vaccines. Homeopathy has been used to treat a wide variety of conditions and is commonly sought after to relieve emotional issues such as grief, depression, anxiety and excessive tiredness and therefore may prove beneficial if used in conjunction with counselling.
Homeopathy aims to treat the unique individual which in turn will help the body to deal with its own disease, therefore it can prove worthwhile in treating allergies, repeated infections particularly of the urinary tract, hormonal imbalance, and periodic disturbances such as hayfever, PMS and SAD. A homeopathy practitioner will help explain how homeopathy may also be effective in bringing about relief from chronic diseases such as diabetes, ME and thyroid disorders. If you are presently trying to cope with a psychological complaint such as an eating disorder or panic attacks then you may find homeopathy to be complementary to professional counselling.
