Homeopathy is based on the principle that you can treat ‘like with like’, that is, a substance which causes symptoms when taken in large doses, can be used in small amounts to treat those same symptoms. For example, drinking too much coffee can cause sleeplessness and agitation, so according to this principle, when made into a homeopathic medicine, it could be used to treat people with these symptoms. This concept is sometimes used in conventional medicine, for example, the stimulant Ritalin is used to treat patients with ADHD, or small doses of allergens such as pollen are sometimes used to de-sensitise allergic patients. However, one major difference with homeopathic medicines is that substances are used in ultra high dilutions, which makes them non-toxic.

Alison Rogers provides homeopathic remedies from the Berkshire Homeopathic Clinic. As an experienced practitioner and a registered, insured member of the Society of Homeopaths, she begins with a 90-minute appointment. Here you discuss your symptoms, medical history, and other drugs you may be using. She then prescribes an individual treatment programme. You take the remedies in water or as prescribed. There then follows a shorter follow-up appointment to decide on subsequent action.
