About Homeopathic Treatment
Homeopathy is a safe and effective method of treatment for both acute and chronic health problems irrespective of diagnosis. The goal of homeopathy is to stimulate healing so that inner balance is restored. Homeopathy is cost-effective and it does not deplete our global natural resources.
Initial telephone consultation (1 - 1½ hours) The initial consultation investigates the personal state of health. In addition to addressing specific health issues, this consultation identifies life patterns in relationships, employment, the environment, temperament, aspirations and struggles, disappointments, etc. From this information a unique and personal portrait emerges.
Remedy selection Remedy selection involves choosing a medicine which is similar in expression to the individual. Medicines, just like people, have their own unique expressions. No two are alike. In homeopathy, there are thousands of different remedies. Selecting a remedy which matches the portrait involves a thorough understanding of the expression of health. People express themselves in certain patterns or themes.
For example, a person may have joint pains which are aggravated by high humidity. Someone may get sinus congestion from eating certain foods. Another person may be irritated by certain noises. These expressions are mirrored in different remedies. Nature produces a tremendous diversity of expressions and each kingdom has its own unique characteristics. Plants are sensitive, changeable, and vulnerable to being wounded. Animals are instinctual, territorial, and competitive. Minerals are structured and organized like a Bach contata. Homeopathic remedies are derived from the three kingdoms of nature: plant, animal and mineral, and they are prepared by homeopathic pharmacies using the highest standards.
The homeopathic remedy acts like a catalyst to stimulate healing. By mirroring the person’s own state of health, the remedy nudges the life force until inner balance is restored. A remedy may be prescribed on a daily basis or less frequently, depending on the level of health. Homeopathic remedies are safe and gentle in their action.
Follow-up telephone consultations (½ - ¾ hour) Follow-up consultations monitor the progress of the homeopathic treatment. During these consultations, adjustments to the treatment process are made. Follow-up consultations are made at regular intervals during treatment, typically every few months. In acute illness, the healing process is rapid, usually within several days. In chronic illness, the healing process is more gradual.
