Treatment

What is Homoeopathy?

Homeopathy is a complementary & alternative system of medicine. Homeopathic treatment is based on the Law of Similars & the Law of the Minimum Dose. This allows for holistic patient assessment & treatment, using highly-diluted remedies which stimulate the body to heal & aid the restoration of wellbeing.

The homeopath conducts a case history & physical examination in order to understand the expression of the patient’s illness or condition as the patient personally experiences the condition as an individual.  Many patients may have the similar diagnosis of a condition however their experience of the condition or illness is peculiar to that patient. The homeopath takes the case history & conducts the physical examination with intent to understand the patient’s particular experience of their signs and symptoms. This process is termed ‘individualisation’. Based on the Law of Similars, this individualisation process allows for a carefully selected remedy to be prescribed by comparing & contrasting the patients symptoms with that of the similar homoeopathic medicine picture.

Homeopathic medicine prescribing is further based on the law of the minimum or infinitesimal dose. So a homoepathic medicine is a highly diluted & potentized medicinal preparation commonly referred to as a ‘remedy’. Often the medium or ‘carrier’ of the carefully chosen medicine is commonly used though the homeopathic medicine therein varies according to the symptom complex. So often the homeopath prescribes a homeopathic medicine in a medium or ‘carrier’ such as liquid drops, granules, creams and powders.

Patient Testimonial

“I have been under the diligent care of Dr Madhu Maharaj for about 15 years.I was diagnosed with my second chronic condition when I took the route of an holistic approach in dealing with two painful and life changing health conditions. In my situation, unfortunately  allopathic medication just made me become more ill and terribly  despondent.  So glad that I was referred to Dr Maharaj.  I  consider this move  in giving me a new lease on life.Dr Maharaj represents and renders an empathic and mindful resolve in treating her patients. I have since referred many of my family members, friends and colleagues to her and each have derived much care and relief from her.No doubt, her healing qualities are no less than her enthusiastic and approachable personality. I will never hesitate in recommending Dr Madhu Maharaj in the future as well.”

“I have been to Dr Maharaj for various conditions ranging from grief, anxiety and eczema and I have have had amazing results every time, not just by alleviating my symptoms but also by her coaching me to find solutions to my problems that have been the cause. She is kind, compassionate and listens attentively, but also does not hesitate to give you the reality check that you need sometimes. My consistent sessions with her have been life changing for me and I  encourage anyone who is struggling emotionally or are unsure of what they are feeling to see her as she always finds a solution to your problem.”
