What is homepathy?
Homeopathy is an effective and scientific system of healing which assists the natural tendency of the body to heal itself...it is a gentle, holistic system of healing suitable for everyone, young and old. It is used to treat everything from acute fevers, sore throats and toothache, to chronic illnesses such as arthritis, eczema, asthma, anxiety and insomnia.
Treating like with like
Homeopathic remedies are prescribed according to the Law of Similars. This law states, ‘That which makes sick shall heal’. This means that the symptoms caused by an overdose of a substance
are the symptoms that can also be cured with a small - or even infinitesimal - dose of the same.
Homeopaths sometimes simplify the Law of Similars by saying that they treat like with like.
In homeopathy, only one remedy is used at a time. This is sometimes called the principle of the minimum dose. The idea is to cure with the minimum amount of medicine and the minimum of intervention.
It is the body’s energy which is influenced rather than its chemical balance, and the remedies do not cause side effects, as there is no chemical trace to accumulate in the body’s tissues. However, they are clearly capable of stimulating the body’s reactive forces powerfully.
Homeopathic remedies come from many different sources. Most are derived from plants but minerals, metals and some poisons which have been used medicinally for generations are also used.
How do I make an appointment?
Appointments are available throughout the working day, and on a Saturday morning.

treatment
What will treatment be like?
After detailed consideration of your case, I will determine the most appropriate homeopathic medicine (or remedy, as they are often referred to) for you as an individual.
The remedy will be in either tablet or liquid form and I will provide you with clear instructions on how to use it.
I believe that homeopathy works effectively alongside many other factors to help us achieve well-being, and if I feel that it is right for your case I may also offer advice about diet and/or lifestyle - or alternatively, refer you to a specialist practitioner in another therapy.
How long does treatment take?
As you are an individual, your response to homeopathic treatment will depend on the specific characteristics of your case, what sort of illness or problem you have, and on you as a person. Some slowly developing complaints, or those that you have bexperienced for some years, may not disappear immediately although you will feel some immediate response and improvement quite soon.
We may need to work together over a period of time, reviewing your progress and the way you feel in general and adjusting your remedy to complete your recovery. More acute complaints may get better more quickly.
You are an individual and I will always treat you as an individual.
In order to find the right remedy for you, I will need to know all about you. I’ll work with you to create a complete picture of who you are

Janets Background
I come from a varied background - from an MA hons degree in Philosophy at St Andrews, via working as a care assistant in a home for the elderly, to a director’s position in an advertising agency, with a stint at the British Red Cross along the way!
My interest in homeopathy, comes from having seen at first hand how effectively it worked for myself and my two small children, both for "acute" situations (such as colds, bumps and bruises) and deeper-seated "chronic" complaints.
Homeopathy is an holistic therapy and I feel it can be used to bring relief to almost any condition, as the variety of patients who I support would show!
However, I do have several areas of special interest including children’s health, mental health issues, women’s issues, skin complaints and sports injuries (my husband is a competitive triathlete.)
Where will the consultation take place?
I see patients in a quiet, pleasant room within Mr Bholah’s Dental Surgery, no. 64 Salter’s Rd, Gosforth
If you are travelling up Salter’s Road away from the High Street, the surgery is on your right hand side 100 metres before the mini roundabout. There are car parking spaces in front of the surgery, or in the side street adjacent, and it is within easy walking distance of the High Street.
