Home / Treatments / Homeopathy

Homeopathy is one of the world’s most widely used complementary therapies, with a history spanning more than 200 years. It takes a holistic approach to health – looking at the whole person rather than focusing on symptoms in isolation.

At The Bath Practice in Bath, we are fortunate to offer Classical Homeopathy with Andrew Ward, one of the UK’s most experienced homeopaths with 36 years of practice in both NHS and private settings.

Andrew works with adults and children across a wide range of health concerns, with a particular interest in longstanding and complex conditions – including people who feel they have explored many different approaches without finding the improvement they had hoped for.

WHAT IS CLASSICAL HOMEOPATHY?

Classical Homeopathy follows the principles established by Samuel Hahnemann more than 200 years ago. It works on the understanding that the body has an innate capacity to heal itself, and that symptoms are the body’s attempt to restore balance rather than simply problems to be suppressed.

Rather than treating individual symptoms in isolation, a classical homeopath looks at the whole picture – the patient’s current health, their personal and family medical history, their constitution and the wider pattern of their wellbeing.

This comprehensive approach means that initial consultations are thorough and unhurried, allowing Andrew to build a detailed understanding of each patient before selecting a remedy.

What can homeopathy help with?

Homeopathy can be used alongside conventional medicine and is suitable for people of all ages, including children. It is often sought by people dealing with:

  • Long-term chronic conditions
  • Metabolic and hormonal concerns
  • Digestive problems
  • Skin conditions
  • Anxiety and stress-related symptoms
  • Fatigue and low energy
  • Recurrent infections
  • Conditions not well served by conventional medicine
  • A desire to take a deeper look at overall health and wellbeing

If you are unsure whether homeopathy might be appropriate for your situation, Andrew is happy to discuss your health history before you book a full consultation.
