Therefore a substance that can cause a particular set of symptoms can be used also to cure those symptoms. The substances are used in potency, which causes them to have the opposite effect of the substance in gross form: this is how they cure the condition rather than aggravate it. People vary in response to disease according to their constitution. Therefore different people may receive different medicines for the same named complaint because they are different. The homeopath treats the person not the named disease. DERIVATION OF MEDICINES Remedies are made from herbs, minerals and animal products. DOES IT WORK?

Results are usually quick and the patient does not have to take supplements or drugs for the rest of their life as therapeutic changes are permanent. ARE HOMEOPATHS REGULATED?
