I recall the tumbler of water, saucer on top and teaspoon. e water had a few granules of the medicine stirred in and every so o en I was given a teaspoonful or two. You get better, life goes on and you don’t think about it much, until perhaps you have a child of your own. Not that the medicines are just for children; age is no barrier. Homeopathy has su ered for being a bit of an Aunt Sally in the medical world, yet it has quite an illustrious history in this land, not least with our long serving How many times have you had a great idea, decided to apply for a job, or just do something di erent, in your life. You can imagine how life will change - you think about all the advantages and get really excited and positive about the outcome. en, completely change your mind and opt for the feeling of security that comes from keeping everything just as it has always been. It can take just two words “WHAT IF” to freeze you into inaction. I would do xyz but, “What If……… happens”. ose two words carry immense power when we are considering anything di erent or challenging, and they always focus on the negative outcome. Hypnotherapy can help you break free and change your world. Discover how di erent your life could be without the “What If”.

Most major cities had homeopathic hospitals and Glasgow, the city of my birth, had some remarkable physicians. e last couple of decades have not been easy for homeopathy, the reasons are philosophical and too complex to explain here. Yet there are adherents across the globe, most notably in India where doctors can choose to train in orthodox western medicine or homeopathic medicine. I spent two weeks in Calcutta watching two remarkable doctors - fourth and h generation of the same family - at work. You cannot be dismissive. Personally, I have found homeopathy both helpful and a most interesting subject. It poses some interesting questions as to our nature as human beings. A basic appreciation, plus a little kit such as that which the Queen carries, can help you and your family on their life’s ‘travels’.
