Q: What is homeopathy?
A: Homeopathy is asystem of complementary medicine and is suitable for the whole family.
In its most basic form, homeopathy is the treatment of a condition with a substance which, when
taken by a healthy person, would produce symptoms similar to those shown in the person who is ill.
Homeopathy views any symptoms as the body's natural reaction to combat the illness and looks to
stimulate rather than suppress the reaction. Homeopathy therefore essentially assists the body to
regain positive health by stimulating its own natural forces of recovery.
