Substances originating from plants, animals or minerals and even chemicals can be made into homeopathic medicines.

The substances are prepared in dilution to stimulate the body’s own natural healing response.

Homeopathic medicines are produced according to strict guidelines set out in international pharmacopoeias and under the control of the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA).

Since the medicines are very dilute, the medicines are considered gentle in their action when prescribed by a registered homeopath.

There are more than 4,000 homeopathic medicines.
