Conditions which can be helped by homoeopathy
15/02/2006
As explained homoeopathy treats the patient and not the disease but I have been asked to highlight some of the conditions which may not immediately come to mind when considering alternative medicine.

Cancer
I have helped radiation burns from radiotherapy treatment to heal within days and when given early enough, for the patient to have no burns or no burning sensation. With regular, frequent therapeutic treatment either with or instead of conventional treatment patients have been given better quality of life. In some cases tumours have been reduced, in others relapses or metastases have been prevented. Patients appear to improve mentally and emotionally with homoeopathic treatment. Remedies can also help to support family and carers.

Behaviour
The latest reality TV is drawing our attention to the behavioural problems in children. Or is it? Often it highlights the behaviour problems of the parents. It shows up the inconsistency which arises because they are tired or indecisive. Because they lacked good parenting themselves they suffer from low self-esteem and uncertainty. Often the angry child is reflecting or mimicking the angry parent.

Adults suffer from feelings which they don’t understand and cannot always control. Adults often expect too much of themselves, juggling work, home and the leisure pursuits that all the magazines rightly tell us we need, to get a balance in our life.

Homeopathy can help with these mental and emotional issues. It is good to be able to treat all the members of the family but this is not usually what happens. However it is interesting to see that when one family member has homeopathic treatment it affects the other members of the family. By helping Mum or Dad to control their anger, to express their love and to be less tired, the whole family behaviour pattern improves and home becomes a happier place.
