The Plymouth Homeopathy Fertility Clinic

Homeopathy was first established over 200 years ago, and has since grown to be a worldwide medicine with over 3000 remedies available. These remedies enable professional homeopaths to treat a wide variety of diseases, both emotional and physical. In fact, most complaints that doctors may help, can also be helped through homeopathy. Homeopathy is primary care medicine in many countries, and is one of the two most widely used systems in the world today.

Although some people say that homeopathy works by the "placebo" effect (in other words, "all in the mind") there are many cases of real physical illnesses being helped by homeopathy. Most people have used arnica for bruising, or apis to help swelling especially after bee stings.

As professional homeopaths we see real changes in people every single day, and in our fertility clinic can cite case after case of physical and emotional change, for example:

• a patient who had had no periods for 2 years, established a healthy ovulatory cycle within 4 weeks of starting treatment.
  
  
• a patient was suffering for over a year with crippling period pains. The pain was so severe it caused vomitting and diarrhoea. This patient is still well 1 year later after only 2 weeks of tablets.
  
  
• endometriosis: patches shrank gradually and consistency, until a normal cycle without pain was established.
  
  
• symptoms of PCOS disappeared after 3 treatments.
  
  
• deep emotional loss and trauma following miscarriage was helped without resorting to anti-depressants and the patient went on to successful pregnancy.

These are a few examples of real patients, which were quite simply treated with homeopathy and experienced real health changes even without the final outcome of pregnancy.

How does this happen? The body is constantly attempting to rectify any illness or disease by returning to normality or balance. This is known as homeostasis, and we can see it day to day, an example would be sweating when we are hot, or shivering when cold.

Physically the body is capable of mending itself - a deep cut, or broken bone follows in-built intelligence to repair. Diseases are driven off by the body causing a reaction to "kill" viruses or bacteria. Emotionally, we gradually come to terms with grief or loss.

Sometimes the physical or emotional shock or disease is too difficult for the body to cope with on its own, and it needs some help. Homeopathy is that help.

Homeopathy stimulates the body's immune system to enable it make the changes to get better and to work as it should, and this is useful when the body cannot do it alone. Homeopaths therefore do not work by covering up the symptoms, but by helping the body repair the damage. Patients report feeling better not just physically, but mentally better too.
