Dr Adriana Candeias PhD LCPH

Dr. Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843) founded homeopathy (greek: omoios – similar; pathos – ailment) on the “principle of similarity”, which states that a given substance can cure in a diseased person the symptoms that it produces or causes in a healthy person.

Since then and with over 200 years of empirical research behind, homeopathy has evolved along the changes in our society and it has developed into a well-documented, scientifically based system of approaching health.

How it works

Homeopathy is a natural, safe, gentle, non invasive and complete system of medicine. It is holistic as it treats the individual as a whole and not just the disease symptoms and signs of illness.

Homeopathy stimulates the body’s natural immune response promoting our capacity of self-healing. Vitality is sustained to prevent disease and enjoy good health and well being.

Patient and practitioner

Because homeopathy works with each person’s natural healing capacity, you will have the main role during treatment. The homeopath will be there to guide you at all stages, while you process the changes in your life, body & mind towards health.

Remedies

Homeopathic remedies are nontoxic, non addictive, free from side effects and do not interfere with other medical treatments. Hence, homeopathy is secure to use during pregnancy, and is very effective on children.

Treatments are generally administered orally in the form of inert diluents such as water, alcohol, sucrose, or lactose.

Remedies can also be transmitted via wires or fibre-optic cables and may be stimulated by various electromagnetic fields. As it is an individual therapy system, I will be able to adopt the form you take your prescription that best suit you.
