Q: What is homeopathy?
A: Homeopathy dates back to the 5th century BC to the time of Hippocrates. However, it was not until the 18th century that
Dr Samuel Hahnemann, a German physician, chemist and academic, started to develop the theories of Hippocrates and so modern day homeopathy was conceived.
Homeopathy is a natural and safe alternative to conventional medicines and is suitable for both adults and babies to use.
In its most basic form, homeopathy is the treatment of an illness 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 baby to regain positive health by stimulating the body's own natural forces of recovery.
Warning: Keep all medicines out of the reach of children. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult your doctor. Always check packaging for listing of ingredients and do not use if there is a known sensitivity. Always read the label.
