Evidence For Homeopathy: Scientific Research
If you’ve ever been told that homeopathy is “just placebo,” you’re not alone. It’s one of the most common criticisms—and one of the easiest to disprove. In fact, there’s a growing body of high-quality research showing that homeopathy is effective, not only beyond placebo but often comparable to conventional care, especially for common conditions like infections, allergies, and chronic complaints.
Homeopathic Detox Therapy
The word “detox” seems to be everywhere these days - juice cleanses, restrictive diets, caffeine enemas and colonics, . There’s no shortage of programs promising to help you feel healthier. While these approaches can certainly have their merits, and some people get great results, they can be a little too intense for some people, aren’t ideal for children, and they don’t necessarily address the deeper layers of imbalance caused by the toxin/s. Homeopathic Detox Therapy (HDT) is a gentle, personalised and specific detox approach using homeopathic potencies of substances which are designed to stimulate and support the body’s own detoxification processes, and also address any underlying imbalances caused by the toxins.
Homeopathy for ear and respiratory infections
Homeopathy has been proven to be just as effective as conventional medicine in the treatment of ear and respiratory infections.
When your child wakes crying from ear pain, or you’re battling a head cold with a sore throat and no energy to spare, it’s tempting to reach straight for paracetamol, cold and flu tablets, or cough syrup. It feels like the quickest way to get everyone back to sleep—or back to work.
But here’s the thing: those conventional medicines don’t actually treat the illness. They just suppress the symptoms.
Homeopathy for Teething
Teething is a normal part of development, but it can still be an exhausting and distressing time for both baby and parent. Irritability, disrupted sleep, drooling, swollen gums, and red cheeks are common symptoms, and leave many parents searching for natural ways to ease the discomfort and support their baby.
Perimenopause & Menopause
For clients receiving homeopathic support for perimenopause or menopause, below are some additional strategies that can be very supportive and help with the balancing of hormones during this stage of life:
Stress can increase cortisol levels, which in turn may reduce the body’s ability to make progesterone. This happens because the body uses pregnenolone (a hormone precursor) to make more cortisol, leaving less available for progesterone production. Low progesterone can worsen common perimenopause symptoms like mood swings, anxiety, and sleep issues.
Clean 15 and Dirty Dozen
The Clean 15 and Dirty Dozen are two lists published annually by the Environmental Working Group (EWG) to help consumers make informed choices about produce and pesticide exposure.
The Dirty Dozen refers to the 12 types of fruits and vegetables that tend to have the highest levels of pesticide residues when grown conventionally. These include popular foods like strawberries, spinach, apples, and grapes. For these items, buying organic is often recommended when possible to reduce pesticide intake.
Low-Tox Living
In today’s world, we are surrounded by chemicals, many of which have been linked to hormonal imbalances, respiratory issues, allergies, and even long-term health concerns such as endocrine disruption and cancer. For this reason, reducing your exposure to chemicals and adopting a "low-tox" lifestyle is an important step towards reducing toxicity, inflammation and improving overall well-being and long-term health.
