Hi, I am a registered homeopath who qualified at the University of Johannesburg.
My Master’s dissertation in Homeopathy was about patient satisfaction related to the management of musculoskeletal conditions with Homeopathy. The results showed that an overwhelming majority of patients were very satisfied with the homeopathic management.
I enjoy treating with Homeopathy as it uses Hippocrates’ healing principle of similarity, this principle states that a substance that causes certain symptoms in a healthy person when given in crude form, can be used to treat similar symptoms in a sick person. Homeopathic treatment is an individualised form of treatment where the homeopath takes the totality of the mental, emotional, and physical symptoms of the patient and matches them to the most specific remedy that has been proven to stimulate those symptoms in a healthy person.
