Awareness of Homeopathy and its effectiveness is growing in the UK especially since Covid. More of us are taking our health into our hands particularly when it’s so difficult to get a GP appointment and waiting lists are long.

But compared to other countries we still lag behind.
Take France for instance where Homeopathy is integrated into the national healthcare system and 30% of French citizens use Homeopathic remedies. In Germany nearly 60 % of the population use Homeopathy at some stage in their lives. Homeopathy is also taught in medical schools and many Medical Insurance Companies cover Homeopathic remedies in their plans.

My aim is to make homeopathy simple to understand and accessible. I often quote these statistics to those who are sceptical of Homeopathy’s ability to treat a vast array of illnesses both mental and physical. I get it as once upon a time I was also sceptical. But I witness it working day in day out now. I don’t even think about it as it’s normal.

Popularity & Acceptance of Homeopathy Around The World

I had earmarked Homeoapathy Awareness Week to have the website for my Homeopathic Practice finished.

Thinking I might have to outsource it, I started at the very beginning and decided to keep going until I couldn’t go any further. Positive mindset.

I surprised myself by managing to complete the task and remain level headed. I must be mellowing.

I much prefer having my head in case notes, homeopathic books and repertorising but I have learnt a few new skills. Next week is a normal week of follow-up appointments. I can’t wait! Kerri

What is Homeopathy? The name Homeopathy is derived from two Greek words, Homoios meaning like or similar and Pathos meaning suffering. For example if a healthy person chops onions, often this produces stinging wartery eyes and a running nose. If a person suffering from a cold or hayfever exhibits th...

Today marks the start of Homeopathy Awareness Week.

Samuel Hahnemann who was the Founder of Homeopathy originally trained and graduated as a German Physician but then became disheartened by conventional medicine which he observed as sometimes doing more harm than good.

Whatever your thoughts are on Homeopathy, Hahnemann was a man to be respected as he could also speak five languages and translated medical books for a living after leaving his medical profession and just before he discovered the “law of similars” which led him then to create a new alternative medical system of healthcare.

🎉✨ Happy World Homeopathy Awareness Day! 🌎

Did you know?

Today marks the birthday of Christian Friedrich Samuel Hahnemann, the visionary founder of homeopathy! 🎂

Born on April 10, 1755, in Meissen, Saxony, Germany, Hahnemann's revolutionary ideas continue to shape the world of natural healing.

But wait, there's more!

Hahnemann wasn't just a medical pioneer – he was also a linguistic mastermind, proficient in English, French, Italian, Greek, and Latin. Talk about multitalented!

After honing his linguistic skills, Hahnemann embarked on a journey into the world of medicine. Dissatisfied with the medical practices of his time, he set out to revolutionise healthcare as we know it. 💪

Graduating with honours from the University of Erlangen in 1779, Hahnemann's quest for better treatment options led him to develop homeopathy – a ground-breaking system of alternative medicine.

Driven by his belief that conventional medicine sometimes did more harm than good, Hahnemann's legacy lives on in the form of Homeopathy, offering natural healing to millions around the globe.

The headline in this article is so upsetting - “Sunbathing for just one day increases heart attack risk”.

I don’t doubt that those aged 60 and above with underlying health conditions shouldn’t lie out in the sun all day. But the article goes onto say:
“Spending time outside is a great way to get vitamin D, the CDC said, but it can also be obtained safely through food and dietary supplements without the risks associated with overexposure to UV”.

There is no better or more natural way to get vitamin D which is necessary to support many immune health, muscle function, bone health and brain health activities then the way nature intended. This is one of the fundamental “natural laws” as I like to refer to them or universal truths. Like drinking water or sleeping.

Researchers studied residents of Lousville Kentucky in the summer heat. They found going from no heat to moderate heat was enough to trigger compounds known to raise heart risk.

First walk in daylight after work tonight and already I feel my spirits lifting ! I don’t know why it still amazes me that when I get regular fresh air, drink water and try to get to bed a little earlier, I have so much more energy.

🌿 Discover the healing power of Symphytum Officinale (Symphytum)!

🌟 This remarkable homeopathic remedy is a go-to for fractures, especially when healing is slow. It stimulates callus formation and speeds up bone knitting, providing relief when you need it most. Symphytum is also beneficial for periosteum injuries and eye injuries involving the eyeball. 💪

This beauty is sitting up TWO weeks after a severe pelvic fracture injury. His poor Owner ran him over in the driveway one evening during the stormy weather when the electric was off.

He wasn’t expected to survive the night at the vets with a 2am phone-call advising to expect the worst.

He’s on a minimum 8 week cage rest but has been allowed out on good behaviour and is showing off his healing abilities.

Owner and Cat received Aconite for shock initially and the Cat received Symphytum and Arnica on a regular basis.

Everyone has heard of the Homeopathic Remedy Arnica. The Homeopathic Remedy Symphytum is a perennial flowering plant better known as Comfrey. Often known as knitbone the plant has a long history of wound healing and particularly broken bones.

The vet is amazed at progress considering his multiple fractures.

I’ve been crotcheting my fifth blanket for ages ! I used to get a few hours a week to crotchet to myself but not so much now and then I have crotchet group with a lovely bunch of like-minded ladies at the foot of the Mourne Mountains who I make sure I go to when I get an invite. It’s my medicine besides homeopathy 💕. The weather isn’t great today so some me time with the wool and the older son milling about.

I have recently been accepted onto the 2nd International Homeopaths For Autism (IH4A) Team.

IH4A is an international organisation comprised of dedicated Homeopaths who treat Autism and other complex conditions.

My first student case was a 7 year old boy with suspected ADHD and whilst my clinic is primarily general practice, this is an area that is in great need of well trained specialist Homeopaths.

I am currently treating children with a range of developmental, behavioural and neurological challenges. It’s a privilege to be undertaking post-graduate training this year with IH4A and to be part of their mentored team of experienced and renowned Homeopaths.

A mum came to see me in November desperate for her 3 Year-old to sleep through the night. With a 1-Year old and another baby on the way in December, everyone in the house was chronically sleep deprived.

Less than one week after taking the homeopathic remedy, her mum reported an improvement with less wakings and a calmer child.

The patient has never looked back continually improving and now only wakens once a night to go to the toilet.

Everyone in the house including a previous skeptical Dad who hadn’t had a full nights sleep in three years, have a vastly improved quality of life and a much happier child as an added bonus.

This is only one example where Homeopathy can help where there isn’t an over the counter alternative without side affects and also needs to be taken on an ongoing basis to be effective.
