Homeopathy has been developed over 200 years to provide  an individual and specific treatment for each person. Natural herbs and minerals are used in preparation of remedies, which can act quickly in acute conditions to relieve bruising & toothache or to reduce the craving for substances, including tobacco.  They can also act on the emotional level to relieve panic, anxiety or grief.

Practitioners find that children respond  especially well to treatment and BirMAH is now working more in this field, to prevent long-term patterns of  destructive behaviour and habits from forming.

The escalating costs of conventional treatment cannot be sustained and are placing a huge burden on the country. The National Treatment Agency has reported an 89% increased contact in their treatment services by drug misusers from 1998 to 2004. As escalating crime figures are often fuelled by the need to meet cravings,  homelessness is punctuated by periods in shelters, prisons or derelict sites, heightening the need for drugs or alcohol to ‘get by’. This vicious cycle often starts when young people leave home or school early, which can leave them increasingly vunerable and at risk due to the lack of support structures around them.

There is a growing body of evidence that homeopathy is an effective aid in helping vunerable people through a wide range of health and drug related issues. In the last five years the Birmingham Alliance of Homeopaths have used their combined experience to increase the awareness of homeopathy as a vital tool in restoring and improving health. At the same time, the cost of homeopathy remains low, where dozens of patients can be treated for a few £s and the remedies are easily portable.
