what happens in the consultation?

As Homeopathy is a holistic system of medicine, I need to know many aspects of you and your life in order to prescribe. First you start by giving a very detailed description of what the problem is. This could be anything from insomnia to anxiety to stomach pain. I will also want to know if anything could have triggered your complaint started such as a loss, a shock, or an accident. It is very helpful for you to look back to the origin of the complaint and consider what else was happening. Much of homeopathy is making connections.

I will ask you about your family history, your personal medical history, any medication, allergies, traumas and surgeries. If you are on medication, please give me the correct spelling and dosage amount. I will also need information on you as a person, with your likes and dislikes, sensation and location of pain having importance.

I then cross reference your symptoms in order to find a remedy that best matches how you are feeling and how your body is acting. Once I determine the prescription, I give complete instructions on how to take the remedies in addition to any nutritional advice. I then ask you to phone or email me shortly after taking the remedy to check in.

Follow up appointments are usually every few weeks depending on your complaint. If you have a question between appointments, I am happy to take your call or email and discuss what is happening. Often people find a feeling of wellness that is quite difficult to describe. It varies for each person. The follow up appointments allow me to judge your interaction with the remedies and we will evaluate your progression and treatment along the way.
