Welcome to Homeopathy Awareness Week 2022!

For this year’s campaign, we've been collecting stories about your homeopathy journeys. We know that positive experiences are the best way to encourage people to try homeopathy for themselves. 

In fact, so many of you have sent in photos, that our sunflower is full of your positive stories about homeopathy, and how it has helped you, your family, and pets. You might not yet spot yourself in the community of happy homeopathic supporters in our poster, but we’ll be letting you download it here on the Find a Homeopath website at the end of the week, so you can look for yourself, friends and colleagues.

Thank you to every single one of you for sharing your journey. Each seed represents you and your unique journey, and each of your experiences can help homeopathy grow, and perhaps help another person to find better health and wellbeing through homeopathy.

The good news is that there’s still time for you to share your journeys throughout Homeopathy Awareness Week. Download the poster in the Homeopathy Awareness Week page on this website, and send it back to us, and perhaps by the end of the week, we’ll have more sunflowers blooming.

Don’t forget to post your own photos and stories about your homeopathy journey on your own social media.

Did you know that 1 in 3 of us suffers from poor sleep? That amounts to millions of people every night. The cost of this lack of sleep is far more than grumpy moods and a lack of focus. It can affect your everyday mental and physical health, create at greater risk of a range of serious medical conditions, and actually lower your life expectancy. That’s why you shouldn’t ignore the problem, and look for ways to improve your sleep routine.

Most adults need between 6 and 9 hours of sleep every night. As with most things, our needs vary, so you will know best whether you feel you are getting good quality sleep, or whether you wake up tired and need naps during the day. The first thing to do is to program your internal body clock to get used to set a regular bedtime schedule. Wake up at the same time every day if you can, as your sleep routine is important. 

There are a range of things you can do to support a good sleep routine, and help you get the regular rest you need. Homeopathy offers a gentle, natural option to promote good quality sleep. Nux vomica, for example, is a widely used homeopathic medicine for sleeplessness, where you wake up in the middle or the night and cannot get back to sleep. However, there are many others, as homeopathy is an individualised medicine which will seek to identify the root cause of your insomnia. During a consultation, a homeopath will ask you about all aspects of your lifestyle and health history, and remedies are selected according to each individual’s unique symptoms.

If you wish to try homeopathy, you can find a registered homeopath near you right here on the Find a Homeopath website. You can also have a look at the Homeopathy app, listed on the apple store and Google Play as ‘Homeopathy UK’. It’s packed full of useful information and facts.

Do you feel energised and full of vitality? Or a little weary and tired? It’s not uncommon to feel like your mental and physical health could do with a boost, especially at this time of year when the days are short and dark. That’s not to mention a cumulative fatigue that may have built up over the past 2 years during the pandemic.

There’s no need to worry though. Aside from looking at your diet to make sure you are getting the nutrients you need, getting a good night’s sleep, and some exercise, there are other things you could try. Homeopathy offers a gentle, natural option which supports the body’s own self-healing mechanism. It could be that your lack of energy is being caused by other things. Homeopathy is an individualised medicine which will seek to identify the root cause of your condition. During a consultation, a homeopath will ask you about all aspects of your lifestyle and health history, and remedies are selected according to each individual’s unique symptoms.

If you wish to try a homeopathic remedy for yourself at home, you could try Gelsemium, which is widely used for mental exhaustion, including drowsiness and indifference, and physical weakness, such as heavy limbs and eyelids. There are many others though, which are specifically tailored for you individually.

It’s important not to ignore fatigue if you have been experiencing it for some time though, just in case there is an underlying reason for it, which needs to be addressed. If you wish to try homeopathy, use the Find a Homeopath website to find a registered homeopath near you.

As far back as October, the media were reporting a super cold spreading around the country. When Winter came, people started to suffer with the worst cold that they’d ever experienced. Anyone who has children will have seen the daily absences from this nasty seasonal cold.

It seems that all the lockdowns, in stopping us from mixing, also stopped other viruses from moving between people, viruses which are quite common in the population every year. When we began to resume normal daily activities, the cold virus, unfortunately, made up for lost time with a vengeance.

If you, or a family member, are suffering with a nasty cold, or have had one recently, and still don’t feel quite right, then there are natural options which you could try. Homeopathy offers a gentle and natural option for all the family, and is used by millions of people around the world. It works with your body’s own healing mechanism, and can be used preventatively too. 

Aconite is often a great homeopathic medicine to take at the start of a cold, and it’s worth remembering for complaints that come on suddenly, especially after having been outside in the cold. Bryonia can be a very useful option when coughs are dry and painful, and where there’s often a dryness of the throat.

Have a look at the 4Homeopathy app, listed on the apple store and Google Play as ‘Homeopathy UK’, where there are many more homeopathic medicines which can help you with minor ailments through the Winter. Alternatively, book a consultation with a registered homeopath on the Find a Homeopath website for more advice. There’s no need to suffer unnecessarily when there’s help at hand, especially over the festive period.

Remember though, if you are concerned that it may be more than a common cold, please follow the recommended guidance, and get tested to keep you and your family safe.

Stress happens to everyone. It’s a normal human reaction to harmful situations, to which the human body is designed to experience and react. It triggers a chemical reaction in the body to help us deal with the situation or threat, and can actually be beneficial in small doses to help motivate us and meet our daily demands. 

The problem occurs when our body has to deal with long term, chronic stress. This leaves us feeling physically, mentally and emotionally exhausted. If you’re feeling like this, you must act.

Stress, and our ability to cope with it, varies greatly from person to person, and the symptoms can present themselves in many different ways. Trouble sleeping, headaches, muscle tension and aches, and stomach and digestive problems, are all common symptoms, but there are many others. It’s important not to ignore the physical and mental manifestations of stress, as they can become chronic and lead to additional health problems.

Homeopathy is a whole-person medicine which treats you as an individual. A registered homeopath will look at all of your symptoms, and recommend a suitable homeopathic medicine. This can be particularly useful with a conditions like stress, which manifests itself in so many different ways. Homeopathy treats the person, not the illness, and supports the body’s built in healing mechanism.

If you’re feeling under pressure, and experiencing stress that you don’t feel able to cope with, homeopathy could be a natural option to try. It is used by millions of people across the world for a wide range of conditions.

Remember though, the most important thing is that you seek help. Don’t feel that you can’t get support if you need it.
