About this title

About the Author

Henrietta Wells has been practising homœopathy since the 1980s. She grew up familiar with homœopathy as her godfather used it very successfully for treating his horses; neighbouring farmers would take his advice about homœopathy in preference to that of the local vet. Her experience of homœopathy later on demonstrated that it could cure where other therapies failed and led to her increasing interest in it. After training, she began practising in London but since 1987 has practised in south-west England, where people come to consult her from all over the UK and abroad.  
She specialises in serious conditions particularly for people who have found that conventional treatment has not helped much, if at all, or the side-effects of the drugs have become intolerable. These are conditions such as epilepsy, Tourette's syndrome, Lymes disease, ME, Glandular Fever, menopause, migraine, rheumatism and arthritis, and many others, including fears and emotional problems.
