What Can Homeopathy Treat?
Here are some of the conditions which homeopathy can help. I have also included some self help methods and organisations with websites which may be useful.
ACNE. Acne is best treated by your homeopath.
ANXIETY AND PANIC ATTACKS. Try Calm and Clear from the Australian Bush Flower Essence range or Rescue Remedy which is a Bach Flower Essence. Both can be bought from good health food shops and pharmacies and cost about €8 for a bottle. Just take a few drops in a glass of water or directly into the mouth to alleviate the panic attack. There are many homeopathic remedies which can be taken for anxiety. Some examples of homeopathic remedies are Aconite and Arsenicum but for this sort of condition you would be better off seeing a homeopath rather than self prescribing.

HEADACHES AND MIGRAINES. There are many remedies which can be used for the symptoms of an acute headache. If you have a tendency to repeated headaches or migraines then constitutional treatment from your homeopath is best.
MOLLUSCUM CONTAGIOSUM. This is a viral skin disease which looks like warts. It usually takes from 6 to 9 months to clear up but with homeopathic treatment the duration is usually much shorter.
MOUTH ULCERS. Try Merc Viv in 30C potency taken three times daily to speed up the healing process. If the ulcers keep recurring then you may need constitutional treatment from a homeopath. Also look at your diet. Low levels of iron, vitamin B12 or folate (vitamin B9) can lead to mouth ulcers. Other causes are stress, fatigue, illness, injury from accidental biting, hormonal changes and menstruation.
PMS, MENOPAUSE AND HORMONAL PROBLEMS. Constitutional remedies prescribed by your homeopath are best for the treatment of hormonal problems. You can also use Mag Phos for the cramping pain associated with periods.
