Safe for all the family
Homeopathic remedies are non-toxic and they can be used in cases involving babies, children and during pregnancy with no harmful effects.
A natural approach
The remedy is derived from a variety of natural materials including minerals and plants. There are approximately 3000 remedies to choose from.
Gentle and powerful
Only ‘the minimum dose’ can have the effect of restoring homeostasis. Homeopathy can be used alongside conventional treatments without interrupting that treatment and without adding to the burden of side effects.
Welcome, and thank you for visiting Maruo Health Clinic. My name is Dr. Emi Maruo I am a medical doctor as well as a homeopath based in Bristol.
"See the person as a whole"
I like the philosophy of considering many symptoms which overlap different conditions or which do not fit neatly into known medical conditions. Contemporary medicine tends to focus on local symptoms not the whole body which can lead to a more narrow diagnosis before treatment is given, often through the use of prescribing drugs. This might not solve the problems and can also lead to unwanted side effects. Some physical conditions may be affected by mental health. It is important to see the person as a whole and treat from different angles.
My practice in homeopathy is to understand conditions in depth and identify the root causes of disease and imbalances.
What is homeopathy?
Homeopathy is a system of medicine based on the principle of treating like with like. Homeopathy as we know it today was discovered by German Doctor Samuel Hahnemann at the end of the 18th and through the 19th Century.
Homeopathy uses low doses of natural medicines to activate a self-balancing response in the body. A well-chosen remedy will stimulate and maximise body’s own healing process to restore the patient naturally back to the best level of health for that individual. If practiced correctly it is a true form of Regenerative Medicine.
Support diverse conditions
Homeopathy offers great support for people with conditions such as chronic fatigue and ME, stress-related illnesses, recurrent infections and immune disorders.
I specialise in:
Side effects from cancer treatment:
I support cancer patients with side effects from radiotherapy, chemotherapy and also post-operation to gain a speedy recovery.
Inflammatory conditions:
I work with people who suffer from chronic fatigue, auto immune disease and recurrent infections. I approach them in an integrative way.
Mental wellbeing:
Mental health has an big impact on your general wellbeing, for example, anxiety, stress, lack of confidence, sleeping problems. Whatever it is, I aim to help people get back to themselves.

I offer face to face and online consultations via Zoom or Skype. After a consultation, I suggest which homeopathic remedy/remedies can ease your symptoms and improve the general wellbeing.
As part of an integrative approach, I can also give advice on diet to support your health.

Testimonials
"Dr Emi is very approachable and made me feel at ease. She responded to me quickly whenever I contacted her. I have been suffering from chronic fatigue but I feel more energised now after trying the remedy she recommended. I can enjoy walking without rest in my favourite natural trust locations, which I could not imagine before "

"I started to see Emi with my chronic lung conditions. I have been suffering for more than 20 years. Emi identified my underlying emotional elements as a root cause and suggested a holistic course of treatment. I am feeling better. I definitely recommend a holistic approach"

About me
I am a medical doctor first qualified in Japan where I specialised in diabetes care. I worked with patients through modification of their lifestyle to control their blood sugar levels alongside conventional medicine. I am also a registered doctor in the UK and have a broad range of professional experience in general medicine and psychiatry working in both the NHS and private hospitals.
Working in the hospitals, I started to question if there were alternative methods to treating patients. Some people were still suffering with contemporary treatment. I saw many patients with mental health conditions given a various drugs without much improvements, but side effects. Similarly I saw many patients with physical conditions who received treatment regimes of various courses of drugs without much improvements.
While seeking more holistic approaches, I encountered homeopathy. I myself first experienced the power of homeopathy when I was suffering from morning sickness during pregnancy.
Homeopathic medicine treats the person as a whole and helps people overcome their illness and regain their health and vitality.
I have completed a 4-year training with National Centre for Integrative Medicine to be qualified as a Medical Homeopath.
I am a registered Member of the Faculty of Homeopathy (MFHom).
Frequently asked questions
Yes. Homeopathic remedies work effectively alongside conventional medicine.
I am a healthcare professional and I will not interfere with your treatment prescribed from your doctor.
I support people with various conditions through an integrated approach with homeopathy and dietary advice. Some of my patients with chronic conditions do not fit in standard diagnosis. Here are some examples.
Cancer related symptoms
Side effects from cancer treatments
Chronic fatigue syndrome
Fibromyalgia
Skin conditions such as eczema

Lack of confidence
The response from remedies varies from person to person. If the chosen remedies are stimulating your body, you may experience a slight worsening of the symptoms followed by an improvement. I advise you to make a note of any changes you have experienced.
This depends on various factors including the nature of your conditions and the conventional treatment you previously received. Some acute conditions may need just a single dose of remedy, while some chronic conditions may need several remedies to heel, which could take months.
Further information
During the first consultation, I will gather as much information as I can about your conditions and yourself (your lifestyle, eating habits, personality, sleep patterns and medical history) to form a complete picture of you. In Homeopathy, we are treating the person who has the symptom(s), not the symptoms in isolation. Although we will focus in detail on your main problem, I will also try to understand you as a person during the consultation.
Following an in-depth consultation, I will analyse all the information and select a remedy for you which you can buy from Homeopathic Pharmacies (eg. Helios Homeopathy Pharmacy online and Buxton and Grant Pharmacy). A single remedy costs about £ 5.40- 7.50. If you prefer, I can order for you and post to your address (cost of remedy and postage additional).
Follow-up consultations usually will be booked after 4-6weeks. You can contact me between appointments to discuss any problems or concerns you may have either by text or email.
