The Centre of Health Sydney - Dock

The Centre of Health Sydney was founded in May 2001. Situated in Five Dock in the heart of Sydney's busy inner west, it has been established to provide a range of natural health care services and products for the public. The Centre has a tranquil, relaxed atmosphere and consultations are available by appointment six days a week. Free two-hour parking is available in the adjacent shopping centre.

We are committed to natural, holistic health care and are mindful of the need to be well integrated in the overall health care system. We regularly refer our patients and clients to general practitioners and for specialist medical services. In addition, we welcome referrals from doctors and other health service providers. These include counselors, speech pathologists and occupational therapists, osteopaths, physiotherapists, optometrists, podiatrists and radiologists. Our intention is to integrate the services provided at The Centre with the overall health care system.Our practitioners are registered with private health insurance funds.

Specialities

Homeopathy works with your body, stimulating natural healing processes. It is a safe system of medicine, suitable for almost any illness or imbalance. It is effective because it treats you as an individual.Two people with the same disease may have very different symptoms. One person with a fever may be hot and thirsty, while another may be chilly and sweaty; one will feel apathetic, another will be restless or irritable. These individual physical and psychological reactions indicate the medicine that best suits your condition at the time.

Homeopathic medicines can enhance your general health and mental well being, while at the same time reducing your susceptibility to future ill health. Even small imbalances can be corrected before they develop into serious symptoms.

Given the holistic nature of Homeopathy, emotional and behavioral disorders can also be treated successfully where many other methods may have failed.Homeopathy is based on the idea that what can cause can also cure. A dose of a substance causes certain symptoms when given to a healthy person. When the same substance, prepared in a minute dose, is given to someone suffering similar symptoms it becomes curative.

We all know cutting raw onions can make our eyes water.When prepared as a Homeopathic remedy it can be used to treat hayfever.Too much coffee has been the cause of many sleepless nights.In minute doses it can treat insomnia.Eating the herb Arnica Montana can cause internal bleeding.In minute doses it is used to treat bruises and the effects of injuries.Cantharis, the Spanish fly, if used as an aphrodisiac has unpleasant side effects.Infinitesimal doses can treat many urogenital problems.

Homeopathy is like a landscape painting. The disease being treated is the main feature but it is the background which gives that feature its true significance.The initial consultation may take an hour so the overall picture of your condition can be drawn. As well as the precise details of your complaint, where it is relevant this may also involve your family history, your reactions to food, weather and temperature, and your emotional and mental state being considered. Follow up consultations are generally shorter.

Homeopathic remedies are made from minerals, salts, plants and some animal products. Each one has a known pattern of action. The homoeopath seeks a similarity between the pattern of a medicine and your individual picture to select your remedy. Remedies are taken as simple globules which are placed under the tongue until they have dissolved, or as liquid drops.
