Homoeopathy effectively treats all manner of ailments, from childhood illnesses through to people with chronic diseases such as asthma or AIDS, by assessing the whole person, taking into account physical, emotional and mental symptoms.


Such treatment may generally continue over a few months or even years. Homoeopathy uses minute doses of natural remedies to stimulate the body's natural healing energy, to help the patient to regain health. The remedies are made from natural substances such as plants, minerals and animal sources, but are highly diluted to make even poisonous substances safe, and potentized to enhance their energy.


Typical activities include:
 

	Taking detailed case history including mental, emotional and physical symptoms and characteristics
	Analysing each case to select a remedy appropriate for the individual
	Monitoring and evaluating patient progress
	Maintaining clinical records
	Organising and promoting good practice
	Once experienced, running tutorials for or supervising homeopathy students
