Here you can read about homoeopathy and its key features (potentised medicines, the prescribing of similars, and giving the minimum dose to effect cure); the history of the Society and what the Society has to offer; the story of homoeopathy in New Zealand; and articles from our journal, Homoeopathica.
The Society was formed to promote what its charter document calls “pure homoeopathy” which is interpreted to mean especially the methods of Samuel Hahnemann and Clemens von Boenninghausen; but it also champions anything that advances the status of homoeopathy and wider understanding of its methods and medicinal merits.
Homoeopathy is a legitimate branch of medicine with its own range of specially prepared medicines and distinctive methods of prescribing them.

- “Patient outcome studies at the NHS homeopathic hospitals show that on average 70% of patients report positive health changes after homeopathic treatments - these are patients who have usually exhausted all the conventional options first and are coping with intolerable suffering.”

Faculty of Homoeopathy- German soccer stars sold on homeopathic remedies
A study just published on how German sports doctors treat soccer aches and pains has revealed that Germany’s faith is in “homeopathic doping.”
“The success stories are impressive,” said Peter Billigmann, a sports doctor and the head of the institute that carried out the study.

Homoeopathy (homeopathy) can look like a herbal therapy because a homeopathic remedy can be made from healing herbs; and it can seem to be a branch of naturopathy because it is a natural, alternative medicine; a holistic therapy looking after both men’s and women’s health as a cure or as a disease preventative. But a homoeopath (homeopath) is not a herbalist or a naturopath but someone who can offer a patient the services of a branch of medicine with a method of prescription based on matching symptoms, whether visible or internal or mental, with symptoms the same therapeutic agent has been known to cause. This information, to enable successful treatment using homœopathic remedies, has been found by trials on humans. A homœopath does not promote a product because it has been in the news, or in a magazine article, but makes selections on serious scientific methods.
So whether you want better health, even to improve sports performance, or to keep your home free of serious illness you should consider homœopathy.

Upcoming Talk - Everyone Welcome
1.00pm Saturday 11th September and 1.00pm Saturday 13th November 2010
INFERTILITY IN MEN AND WOMEN
Presented by Leila Joffe
Leila Joffe will present this talk in two parts over both sessions. Leila will discuss in depth, fertility and its relationship link to growth, regeneration and degeneration. Special attention will be given to Infertility in women and men alike with the use of cases to highlight the treatment given.
Fertility, birth, growth, decline and death are all parts of the “cycle of life” and are in balance with each other. Each person’s vitality reflects his /her relationship to this cycle. Leila will discuss how homeopathy can play an integral part in addressing all aspects of the “cycle of life” and look at key remedies that support and integrate these aspects. We will also look at what maladies present themselves today, in relation to this cycle and what substances/ remedies we use for healing.
Leila Joffe has over 25 years of extensive experience as a teacher, trainer and therapist for adults and children in various education and health contexts both in New Zealand and internationally. Leila’s career in homeopathy started in 1987, she studied at the School of Homeopathy in the Netherlands, run by Frans Vermeulen. She completed a postgraduate diploma with Alize Timmerman and another postgraduate course with Jeremy Sherr. She has also studied with Dr Rajan Sankaran.
Leila has also worked with children on the ASD spectrum collaborating with other practitioners who use the biomedical protocols to address this problem. She delivered a paper at the MINDD conference in Auckland, New Zealand in 2007 promoting the use of homeopathy as a complementary discipline for such children. Together with a colleague, Claudia Routier she ran a Children’s Clinic at the Devonport Community Centre making homeopathy available to the wider public. Their innovative way of running a children’s clinic has inspired the establishment of other such clinics in different parts of New Zealand.
Leila has been a tutor at the Wellington College of Homeopathy for the past four years and is passionate about teaching and her students.
