What is a Homeopath?

A homeopath, also known as a homeopathic doctor, is a practitioner who uses highly diluted substances to treat illnesses. Homeopathy is an alternative medical practice based on the idea of treating "like with like". Homeopathic doctors administer substances that mimic the symptoms of diseases in healthy people to stimulate the body's natural healing abilities. 

What is the role of a Homeopath?

Homeopaths believe that a substance that causes symptoms of a disease in healthy people can cure similar symptoms in sick people. This doctrine is called similiasimilebus curentur, or "like cures like". 

Some common conditions that people seek homeopathic treatment for include:

• Asthma

• Ear infections

• Hay fever

• Mental health conditions, such as depression, stress and anxiety

• Allergies, such as food allergies

• Dermatitis (an allergic skin condition)

• Arthritis
