more and more people think about sustainable living there is a desire to bring this into all areas of our lives. There is much attention in the media to healthy eating and good food, but what about the drugs we put into our own or our children’s bodies?

Of course good nutrition is important and we need to make our relationships, job and living situation sustainable in terms of their impact upon our bodies. But if you do have a health problem how are you going to treat that? Modern medicine is generally very good at diagnostics, but the conventional solution is to treat the symptoms and not to address the cause.

Homeopathy, and other forms of alternative or complementary medicine, seek to understand the causes of illness and to treat them. Homeopathy is based on the principle of treating ‘like with like’, and thus stimulating the body to respond; whereas conventional medicine treats with opposites to suppress symptoms.

Homeopathic remedies are not tested on animals, but tested on healthy human volunteers. The remedies are made in local pharmacies and generally supplied with minimal packaging. The only waste products of manufacture are water and alcohol, and some glass ware.

The minimum dose, preferred by homeopaths is non-polluting with no chemical residues getting into the water supply. Few resources are used in the manufacture of the remedies, as they are produced through a process of dilution and potentisation, and given in small and often infrequent doses.

I am seeking to make my Homeopathic Practice greener by switching from plastic dispensing mini envelopes to paper and by looking for a green energy server for my website.
