What is Homeopathy?
Homeopathy is an alternative medicine based on the theory of treating ‘like with like’.
Homeopathy claims to stimulate healing responses to diseases by administering substances that mimic the symptoms of those diseases in healthy people.
The effectiveness of homeopathic preparations is disputed within medical science.
You should never stop taking conventional drugs without the knowledge and approval of your doctors.
Consultation
What to accept at Initial appointment
During your first consultation, which usually lasts about 1 1/2 hours, I will ask you about your presenting complaint(s) and its symptoms, your medical history and any significant health problems in your family. I will also enquire about your personal characteristics, modalities (what makes things better or worse),preferences, sleep pattern, dreams, phobias, feelings and sensations. All this might seem abit unusual, but is essential to find the correct remedy for you. After the consultation I will go through a lengthy process called repertorisation, which means analysing all the collected information and working out the indicated remedy. This remedy should not only address your health problem(s), but should also make you feel better in yourself (e.g. more energy and
vitality). Although sometimes dramatic, in most cases improvement will be gradual. After taking the remedy, sometimes an aggravation of your symptoms can occur (although I will do my best to try to avoid this by choosing the mildest, but still effective strength of medicine) or old forgotten symptoms can return. This is a sign that the remedy is working and usually followed by an improvement of your condition.
