Homeopathy at Medhealth Clinic.

At Medhealth Physiotherapy, we proudly offer homeopathic treatments as part of our comprehensive approach to health and wellness. Homeopathy is a holistic system of medicine that seeks to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes through highly diluted substances derived from natural sources.

What is Homeopathy?

Homeopathy is based on the principle of “like cures like,” which means that a substance causing symptoms in a healthy person can be used to treat similar symptoms in a sick person when administered in a diluted form. This gentle approach aims to restore balance and harmony within the body, addressing both physical and emotional aspects of health.

How Does Homeopathy Work?

Homeopathy is a unique system of medicine founded on the principle that the body has an innate ability to heal itself. This holistic approach uses highly diluted natural substances to stimulate the body’s vital force, helping to restore balance and promote overall well-being.

The Principle of “Like Cures Like

At the core of homeopathy is the principle of “like cures like.” This concept suggests that a substance that causes symptoms in a healthy person can, when used in a highly diluted form, treat similar symptoms in a sick person. For example, if a substance like onion causes watery eyes in a healthy person, a homeopathic remedy made from onion might be used to treat watery eyes in someone suffering from a cold.
