Homeopathy is often touted as ‘nonsense’ by conventional medicine. But it was ‘created’ by a medical doctor and many people have healed, when nothing else worked. Most homeopathy remedies are plant-based but a few use bees stings or ‘spit from rabid dogs’ so be careful where you buy. Don’t be frightened to ask questions.

Getting Started with Holistic Medicine
Choosing the right holistic practitioner is vital. Look for someone who aligns with your values and understands your needs. Don’t hesitate to ask about their qualifications and experience.
A good practitioner should not only have the necessary certifications but also make you feel heard and respected. Relying on personal recommendations is not enough, ask for written case studies if you are handing over money for ‘holistic medicine’.

One Irish vet had cattle suffering from mastitis. He used homeopathy and they got better. He then decided it was a coincidence so took them off homeopathy. The disease came back, so he put them back on homeopathy medicine, and is now a convert.
One area where homeopathy is used widely is for foxes with mange. When Manchester’s Fox Rescuers (Manchester) have a fox with mange, they send out a homeopathic remedy if needed (though for serious cases, you’ll need a wildlife rescue to humanely trap the fox for conventional vet medicine).
