A: Homeopathy is a traditional system of natural healthcare developed over 200 years ago. It’s based on the principle of “like cures like” meaning that a substance that causes symptoms in a healthy person may help support someone experiencing similar symptoms, when used in a highly diluted form. Remedies are selected based on the individual’s overall presentation, not just a named condition.

A: Homeopathic remedies are made from natural sources such as plants, minerals or other substances. These are diluted and shaken in a process called potentisation, which is a core part of homeopathic preparation. The result is a gentle, non-toxic remedy used to support the body’s natural healing processes.

A: Homeopathy is a specific system of medicine that uses diluted remedies to stimulate the body’s natural healing response. Naturopathy, on the other hand, is a broader approach that may include herbal medicine, nutrition, supplements, and lifestyle advice. While both are natural systems, they are quite different in how they work.

A: A consultation involves a detailed discussion about your health, including your symptoms, history, emotional wellbeing and lifestyle. This helps your practitioner select a remedy tailored specifically to your needs. The initial consultation typically takes around 60 minutes.

A: No. You don’t need a formal diagnosis to book a consultation. We support people at all stages of their health journey including those who may be experiencing undiagnosed or hard-to-name symptoms.

A: Yes, you can, every individual responds differently. Some people notice changes within days, while for others it may take longer. Follow- up consultations help assess progress and adjust the remedy if needed.

A: Not necessarily. Homeopathy aims to support your body’s own ability to restore balance. The frequency and duration of remedy use depends on your individual response and the nature of your symptoms.

A: Homeopathic remedies are highly diluted and gentle, making them a popular option for children. At OM Homeopathy, we support children of all ages from infancy through to adolescence for a variety of physical and emotional concerns.

A: Most remedies are dispensed in globules which are easy for children to take. Instructions are always provided to ensure safe and appropriate use.

A: Homeopathy is used worldwide and has a long-standing history as a traditional healthcare system. While it may not align with conventional scientific models, many people continue to seek homeopathic care for its individualised, low-risk and holistic approach.

A: People respond differently to all forms of care and homeopathy is no exception. Some notice changes quickly, while others may need time or adjustments. Your experience is individual, and results can vary.
