The remedies

The idea that a substance can be damaging in large amounts, but beneficial in small amounts is not new to science, in fact this concept (referred to as hormesis) has been around for decades and is increasingly well documented in such fields as biology and toxicology.

There is the concept of treating ‘like with like’ in conventional medicine e.g allergens such as pollen being used in minute doses to de-sensitise allergic patients, or tinnitus aids which create a buzzing noise in the ear to cancel out the noise of tinnitus.

The science behind the production of homeopathic remedies is often one for debate. There are those who say that there cannot be anything in a remedy, as the process of trituration and dilution is unscientific and cannot be proven. But, the proof, is within the extraordinary results that many people all over the world attribute to well practised and understood homeopathic principles and remedy choices.

Research is happening, good results are being published.
