A homoeopath does not concentrate his therapy on, say arthritis or cancer. Rather, he treats all aspects mental, emotional and physical of the person who happens to be to be suffering with arthritis or bronchitis or cancer. Homoeopathy regards each patient as a unique individual e.g. six persons with hepatitis might get a different homoeopathic remedy, each one aimed at the individual's totality of symptoms rather than at his liver alone. The range of problems to which homoeopathy can be effectively directed is extensive and includes first aid, acute illness and all manner of chronic conditions. 

EFFICACY

Homoeopathy is not only a therapy which can effectively cure acute or chronic diseases, but it is a method of stimulating the defense mechanism and balancing the constitution of patients. It is capable of enhancing the degree of productivity, creativity and serenity of people removing their susceptibility to disturbing influences. More and more people are being successfully treated by this system of medicine. 
As homoeopathy is becoming more popular and accepted, it is also becoming a part of the establishment providing an alternative holistic approach to health. Homoeopathy is a natural system of medicine, which is safe, and has no side effects. It is relatively inexpensive, non-addictive and treats the whole person.
