What my Patients say

I had a few health issues (principally psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis but also some other skin issues and a few recent allergic reactions) and conventional medicine only seemed to offer drugs to manage the symptoms. I was wondering what else I could do and considered homeopathy but wasn’t sure how to find someone I could have confidence in. A friend recommended Andrea and she’s been great. She explores the underlying issues and then helps you to address them rather than just the symptoms. So, about 15 months on I have improved substantially. No more allergic reactions, reduced inflammation, more energy and better mobility. She’s fun to work with too. Can’t ask for much more than that! – David K, March 2024

The treatment has honestly improved my life drastically. I used to simply exist and dread even waking up in the morning but now I feel like I have motivation and energy at the starts of my days. I feel like I’m living and I want to get up now, I want to face the day and whatever it may bring. My anxiety used to control my life and limited everything, I was unable to even talk in class but now I can do presentations and lead class discussions. I’ve re discovered not only myself but my love for everyday life despite how mundane it may be. Andrea and her work has changed my life for the better. Without her help I don’t think I would’ve got through not only the school year but all my exams, the ups and downs of friendship groups and even entering new stages in my life. Even my friends have noticed how much more at ease and comfortable I am with myself, and it feels great. I’m able to ride the waves of life without overthinking and stressing too much. I passed all my GCSEs, waiting the results of my A levels and currently applying to university!
As well as treating my anxiety, Andrea had also treated my eczema which is a lot better but it does sometimes still flares up at really stressful times like exams. I also struggle with my menstrual cycle and would have extreme pain and sickness during the first few days but due to the treatment this has highly improved the debilitating pain has now become something I can cope with and continue my daily life whereas before it would disrupt my entire week, causing me to miss out on days of my education. Now it’s only one day I struggle with pain. I would highly recommend Andrea Dell of Wiltshire Homeopathy. – Mia, 18 years old, February 2024

I had suffered from eczema covering most of my body for 25 years, in that time I have tried many different treatments. Initially I went to my doctor who gave me a moisturizer, then steroid creams that would work in the short term but my eczema would always become resistant and then a stronger cream was prescribed. At one point I was on the strongest cream available and my eczema was worse than ever, I was getting around 6 skin infections a year which meant courses of oral steroids and antibiotics too. I spent quite a few weeks bedridden, unable to walk and in intense pain 24 hours a day at which point I was referred to a specialist at the Royal United Hospital in Bath. They did a patch test on my back testing the skin against certain allergens but even the skin under the plaster holding it on reacted, so that told us nothing. I also tried an elimination diet but that didn’t reveal anything either. Eventually I was given UV light treatment which temporarily worked, it taught me the importance and healing ability of sunlight. After two courses of UV light treatment ( the second one being less effective ) the skin specialist wanted to put me on medication for the rest of my life which was something I wasn’t keen on once I’d heard the possible extreme/ life threatening side effects, it would have also meant having a blood test every month for life. I decided to look elsewhere for help. It was then I started looking into complementary treatments, over the next 10 years I tried Acupuncture, Reflexology, Kinesiology as well as fasting, juicing, cutting out refined sugar etc and generally trying to improve overall health and fitness levels. All these things helped to some degree but none actually healed the eczema to a noticeable level. I heard about Andrea through a friend who was currently being treated by her and thought I would book an appointment. Eight months later and my eczema has completely gone, I stopped using steroid cream completely at 6 months after starting treatment and it was a noticeable decline from about 3 months in. At the first appointment ( late October 2020 ) Andrea asked me a lot of questions that a GP wouldn’t even think to ask, things about my past and my personality, major events in my life and how I am emotionally etc. She took a lot of notes and was very thorough, it was a very relaxed discussion which lasted much longer than the 10 minute slot you get with a GP, and for good reason because of the amount of depth she went into to really get a feel for who I was. She also warned me that once I had taken the remedy I might get a skin flare up but that it would be temporary and followed by healing. She was absolutely right and after the flare up the skin really got better! In fact only two months after my first appointment it was Christmas 2020 and it was the first one in many many years where I didn’t have eczema all over my hands and I could eat the usual unhealthy Christmas diet and see the eczema not reacting at all, as well as not getting an infection over the period at any point, I was so pleased by such a noticeable change. At this point, in June 2021, I’ve recently taken the remedy again because I am currently getting a little flare up that I expected mid summer. So far though since October 2020, I’ve taken the remedy three times and every time I have seen a huge improvement in the skin that holds. With every dose my skin improves and never goes back to being as bad as it was at the point when the previous remedy was taken! I am a million miles from where I was in October 2020 on that first appointment.
ADDITIONAL: On the 18th October 2022 ( still 100% eczema free ) I was prescribed some very powerful antibiotics for 1 month, it was for a very serious internal infection. They worked but during the course I noticed the return of the eczema. It wasn’t anywhere near as bad as before and I contacted Andrea for an appointment in November, once I had finished the antibiotics. This time a different remedy was given as she believed the origin of the problem was different. Due to the antibiotic’s strength it meant that my body had really taken quite a hit and was slow to react but it did react and over time began to heal again. After around 3 months Andrea suggested taking the original remedy again as a boost and once again I was eczema free. June 2023 I was working with a group of people who all used vapes, I very foolishly started using one for a few weeks and quickly stopped when I saw the eczema return once more! Again I contacted Andrea, made and appointment and a remedy was given. The vaping has had a noticeable effect on my health even months later despite it only being for a short time but the remedy started working shortly after taking it ( including an initial flare up ) about 3 weeks until noticeable healing. Whilst I still have a few little patches of eczema it is much better than it was immediately after stopping vaping and I am still in contact with Andrea with the hope that after a couple more treatments I’ll be back to my normal eczema free condition. I highly recommend Andrea Dell, she is easy to talk to, completely non-judgmental with a very down to earth attitude and is very thorough and considered when making a diagnosis. Her Homeopathy has already helped me more than any of the treatments I tried previously and is the only one that resulted in me being eczema free for periods of time longer than a year. She is a very skilled and knowledgeable homeopath. – Andy Veale, 47 yrs old, Wiltshire, February 2024

Andrea has been a very mindful and supportive guide and has helped me navigate through a major bereavement as well as chronic M.E and FM which flared and stuck due to that loss. Her knowledge of homeopathy is second to none and the remedies have literally put me back on my feet and walking again after three years of disability. I cannot recommend Andrea highly enough, and rest assured that you are in gentle and very professional hands with Andrea as your guide. – Sarah Koch, November 2022

When I had my first consultation with Andrea I had severe itching all over my body due to eczema. I was having difficulty to sleep and was feeling very uncomfortable and agitated. Andrea gave me 4 doses of medication in total and advised me that the itching could get worse before it gets better and to be aware of any issues or emotions coming up. When I took the first dose, the itching was reduced to minimum, and I had a good sleep and felt relief from the continued scratching and agitation. After two days the itching started but it was not as bad as before. After I had the 2nd dose the itching continued but the intensity was greatly reduced. It also spread in other areas including the under arm. Simultaneously I was becoming more aware of the emotions that were coming up, such as anxiety, fear, frustration, agitation and anger. When I took my 3rd dose of medication the itching was reduced considerably, and I noticed my skin was renewed especially on my arms and legs. The itching had almost stopped, and I was feeling almost like normal. However it came on and off, and emotionally I was feeling restless and agitated but didn’t know why. That’s when I took my last dose of medication after consultations with Andrea and this brought a lot of emotions and pain which was subtle to the surface. It was related to the pain and trauma I had in my childhood that I had forgotten about! The pain was so intense that I had to remind myself and be aware that this was in the past and not present, as it came up to the surface to be released. The medication helped the buried past traumatic experience to come up to the surface for my awareness. Until then I couldn’t work out what it was that was making me feel stuck, agitated and restless. I felt so much better and happier having released the trauma and self-sabotage. After that I was able to step forward and be able to express and share my creativity and interests with others. I have come a long way, and it is still work in progress for me and I may seek Andrea’s help and support if necessary in the future. I would like to say Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, to Andrea for all your support and help, without which I would not have been able to see and heal the deep trauma that was hiding under the surface! It has made a huge difference in my health and my well being. I am so grateful to have had that support. We would all heal so much faster and with ease if we could combine these alternative therapies with having the awareness of what is going on in our body both physically and emotionally. – IK, female age 76, Wilts. – October 2022

Andrea has given me my life back!
I consulted Andrea about 3 yrs ago on the recommendation of a friend after coming to the end of the road with conventional medicine. My parents had been open to Homeopathy but I hadn’t given it a thought for many many years. I had several quite complex health issues. About 15 years previously, I had had vestibular damage to my inner ear from a virus which had left me with balance problems, nausea, dizziness, vision disturbances, no energy etc together with severe migraines (Migraine Associated Vertigo). Also insomnia, anxiety and hayfever, the latter I had had for about 40 years.
Andrea visited me at home as I couldn’t travel and the consultation was very thorough taking nearly 3 hrs. She had a Remedy made up for me in the form of drops to be taken at intervals as and when needed. Several of my less severe symptoms including the hay fever, cleared up very quickly. The migraines & balance issues took longer to resolve but she worked with me with regular consultations by phone or email and now I am almost back to 90% of my former self which I consider an amazing result. I sleep well, am no longer anxious or fearful and can cope with everyday situations without a second thought much to the relief of my husband and family. I take the remedy now about every 3 weeks when I feel my health is dipping and I have no doubt that eventually I will feel 100%.
I can’t recommend Andrea highly enough, she is passionate about homeopathy, very experienced and knowledgeable, caring and patient and has a real interest in her patients. I can phone, text or email with any problems at any time and she will always be ready to help. Every day I say ‘thank you’ to whoever bought Andrea to me and to the help she has given me.

Before I chose to explore homeopathy as an alternate solution to several different health problems, I was experiencing such as stress and anxiety, which in turn exacerbated my allergies like hay fever and eczema, I was at a loss as to how to treat these conditions successfully using common advice from health professionals in the NHS, as what they had prescribed me was clearly not totally effective and only worked to a certain degree. To be clear, I mean that my health problems remained and didn’t appear to be getting any better. It was only when I discussed my symptoms and possible causes for them with Andrea and we took a holistic approach, that it became apparent a fresh approach was needed, which would hopefully provide the answer. I took the remedies prescribed by my homeopath as instructed, after I received them in the post and along with small changes in my lifestyle, I noticed a real difference and upturn in my general physical and mental health within a comparatively small timeframe. Now a couple of months later, I can honestly say that my stress and anxiety has largely dissipated, my face and hands have cleared up and I’m managing my skin condition with just the occasional moisturiser and have switched to hand-washing with just olive oil soap, and I have stopped using the steroid ointments prescribed by the dermatologist after the initial flare up. I still take medication prescribed by my GP for my mental health each night, but am happy to report that the liquid remedy I take in a morning given to me by my homeopath is complementary to this, so I can take both for maximum effect. Indeed, I believe homeopathy was the key to unlocking a way forward for me to be able to manage my different health issues altogether as one package, so I am no longer troubled by them and can look forward to brighter days ahead problem free, meaning there is more time to spend enjoying doing things with family and friends and not be self-conscious about the way I look or how I feel. Thanks Andrea, you really have been a great help and support to me and I am sure I will continue to follow your advice and use your services for the foreseeable future, so I do not experience a relapse in my symptoms.
