Homoeopathy is a comprehensive medical system that was developed in Germany more than 200 years ago.
Considered one of the fastest growing medical modalities worldwide, homeopathy is used to treat acute illness, chronic disease, and to support preventative health.
Homoeopathy can restore balance and effect change on all aspects of physical, emotional and mental wellbeing. In this sense it is a truly effective (and revolutionary) system of ‘body-mind’ medicine.

Feature Article This Month: Understanding Homeopathy and how it can help Addiction By Lee Formica
‘Classical’ Homeopathy uses a ‘body-mind’ approach to treatment where a homeopathic remedy will concurrently help with the many physical, emotional and mental health aspects of change and recovery.
Homeopathy aims to understand the primary cause of the disorder and works to create a deep re-adjustment by providing the necessary ‘energetic stimulus’ or remedy to effect real change.
This well-chosen natural remedy will help us become more aware of the underlying problem itself as well as give strength to working with other approaches such as counselling, hypnotherapy or psychotherapy.
A homeopathic remedy is prescribed to support a detoxification process. Common associated remedies include Quercus glandium spiritus, Camphor, Phosphorus, Passiflora, Avena sativa, Tabacum, and of course the great ‘anti-alcoholic’ remedy Nux Vomica. Whilst using homeopathic remedies, I would recommend using The Family Wellness Centre Counsellor or Hypnotherapist which will aid in repairing the actual dynamics of the addiction itself and provide individualised support to influence and modify the underlying causes which drives our addictive behaviours.
An example of Homeopathy treatment is where an individual with a Cannabis addiction and ADHD was prescribed a remedy based on a ‘constitutional’ homeopathic principle – that is the ‘totality’ of the clients’ physical and emotional symptoms. The approach also includes an appreciation of previous illnesses and ‘miasmatic’ or family inherited tendencies to certain symptoms or diseases. After four weeks of treatment the client explained: “I am much better. I feel more of a grip and I tend more to finish the things I am doing. I am closer to my feelings. I have more control over the world of dreams and I take more responsibility.” The client cleaned their house, brought more order to organising payment of bills and felt more grounded. They could better handle their addiction. “The desire is less and when it comes up it vanishes in a short time.”
What about the remedies? The remedies are non-toxic, non-addictive and produce no chemical by products or harmful waste. Unlike pharmaceutical drugs, homeopathic remedies are not tested on animals, as they are safe for humans to voluntarily trial in homeopathic ‘provings’.
Also the remedies are not patented or owned by pharmaceutical companies. This means they are easily affordable to people in both developing and developed countries. In these ways homeopathy is a highly sustainable medicine!
Will it interfere with other medications? Due to the ‘energetic’ nature of the remedies they can be taken in conjunction with conventional drugs without adverse side effects or interactions. Conventional medications will need to be reviewed and may be reduced by your G.P. once an improvement in health occurs with homeopathic treatment.
Common ‘complementary’ uses of homeopathic remedies include:
Promotion of quick and full recovery from surgery, trauma and illness
Support while coming off prescription drugs or to help with the side effects of drugs or treatments such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy etc;
Building resistance to infections, and promote wellbeing regardless of other current treatments
