Acute and constitutional prescribing underpins homeopathic practice though it’s always important to remember that homeopathy treats the individual, not the disease name, body part or pathology diagnosis.  But what does that really mean?  Simple, when we are healthy we all experience life differently, for example one person might feel invigorated taking a hot bath, whereas another person finds hot baths unbearable.  Homeopathy works on this principle and aims to understand the individualising factors of your illness in exactly the same way.
