Taking responsibility for our health

Homeopathy has been criticised and suppressed since its development by Dr Samuel Hahnemann in the late 1700’s. As a result, homeopaths have been keeping their heads low, doing good work quietly, yet homeopathy is still practiced around the world. We should be incredibly grateful for having free medical care in the UK, with the NHS being set up as an amazing instituation. However, people have become less self-reliant and made the NHS their first port of call. With no proper health education, people are unequipped to treat themselves and prevent more serious illness. Alternative health practitioners are more likely to share their knowledge on how to better take cafe of your own health. Why overwhelm the NHS for conditions that can be cured by homeopathy, herbalism or acupuncture? If more of us took responsibility for our health, the NHS would be more likely to provide a better service for emergencys or when we really need it.

The Paradox of Our Age

We have bigger houses but smaller families
more conveniences but less time
we have more degrees but less sense
more knowledge, but less judgement
more experts, but more problems
more medicines but less healthiness
we’ve been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbour.
we built more computers to hold more information to produce more copies than ever but have less communication
we have become long on quantity but short on quality
these are times of fast foods but slow digestion
Tall man but short character
steep profits but shallow relationships
it’s a time when there is much in the window but nothing in the room
- H.H. the xivth Dalai Lama

Today, western society is sicker than ever before. The body communicates imbalances and dis-ease through symptoms; for example, when run down or stressed one may get a coldsore. It’s now common to supress this communication with the over use of pharmaceutical drugs. Homeopathically, a coldsore would be treated with a remedy such as Rhus Tox, which will resolve the outbreak quickly and gently. Repeated outbreakes would need a bespoke remedy, which is called a constitutional remedy, to address and deal with the stresses that are causing the outbreaks. Being treated by a homeopath will bring the body into balance as well as teach one what to do in a similar situation. One would learn when to prescribe themselves Rhus Tox for the occasional outbreak and recognise the need to slow down, rest or deal with the stress. Equally, one would recognise when the outbreaks are a need to reconnect with the homeopath for another appointment.
