Homeopathic Nutrients

Two hundred years ago, Samuel Hahnemann, a German physician 're-discovered' an ancient, holistic system of healing. He named it 'homeopathy', basing its use on a vast body of valid clinical research.

During the 19th century, homeopathy was spectacularly successful in containing several epidemic diseases in Europe and America.

Homeopathy tackles ailments by stimulating the body's own immune system. This gently and effectively helps the body regain its natural vitality and balance, without side effects. Long-term homeopathic treatment has been known to change systemic imbalances that lower the body's immunity.

Homeopaths treat a wide range of physical and psychological health problems with miniscule doses of nature-based remedies that are customized to a patient's constitution.

Homeopathic nutrients are sourced from various natural sources, such as plants, animals and minerals. Many plants are highly poisonous, but a process called potentisation (shaken to energise it) dilutes all the toxicity.  After diagnosis, the physician selects a remedy that bears close similarity to a person's unique characteristics so that the nutrient induces a powerful reaction from the body.

Aconitum Napellus (Aconite)
Derived from Monkshood, Aconite acts quickly to mitigate symptoms of sudden colds, sore throat, fever and chills that afflict people exposed to weather changes.

Arnica Montana (Arnica)
Arnica from Leopard's Bane heals muscle and joint injuries, reduces swelling and provides pain relief during healing from fractures. Arnica is often administered before dental treatment or prolonged schedules of sports training.

Belladonna
Belladonna is taken from the poisonous Deadly Nightshade. However, in its homeopathic form, it is entirely safe even for infants and the elderly. It is prescribed for colds, sore throat and rapid, high fever among children. It is useful in treating hypertension and throbbing headaches.

Calcarea Phosphoricum
Calc Phos, is a potent mineral for building bones. It's often prescribed for babies' teething problems and children's 'growing pains' (joint and bone pains). Calc Phos plays a vital role in helping control bone loss in women before and after menopause.

Nux Vomica
This nutrient comes from a Far Eastern source, the Poison Nut Tree. It is widely used for digestive ailments, nausea, heartburn, sour burping and bloating. Keep it handy for relief from the ill-effects of overindulgence! It is also used in the treatment of asthma, insomnia and some types of headaches.

Rhus Tox
A great remedy for backache, arthritis, body pains during flu, rheumatism and lumbago. Rhus tox is derived from Poison Ivy. It is also beneficial in skin problems like hives, chicken pox, blisters and rashes.

Homeopathy offers a host of health benefits. It's relatively inexpensive, easy to take and does not involve animal testing. Homeopathic remedies complement other systems of medicine, try it!
