New To Homeopathy? Here's What To Expect.......

Information gathering: Homeopathic treatment is holistic and individualised. This means that during your consultation, your homeopath will want to ask you many questions to find out all about you on a physical, social and mental/emotional level so you will need to allow 1 to 2 hours for your initial consultation.

They will focus initially on the main symptoms that have prompted you to book a consultation, but they will also ask you about any other symptoms you may suffer from, both past and present, any medications you are taking, and your family’s medical history.

They will also gather information about you as a person, i.e. your personality, your likes and dislikes, your fears and dreams etc and also your life experiences.

This enables the homeopath to choose the Right Remedy for YOU that best matches your full picture of symptoms. This remedy is known as the ‘Simillimum’.

Your Safe Place: Please note that this is a safe space for you to share your story and be heard without judgement. You will not be forced to talk about anything you do not wish to share. All your information will be held in strict confidentiality.

Follow-Up Consultation: Your Homeopath will book an appointment with you to return for a follow-up consultation within a timeframe that is relevant to your individual case (usually 2-6 weeks).

This is an essential part of the process as it will allow the homeopath to identify the effectiveness of the remedy and to make any necessary adjustments to your treatment.

Side Effects of Homeopathy: There are no ‘Side Effects’ of homeopathy as such but sometimes old symptoms may return as you move through the different levels of healing. This is ok and is part of the healing journey and these symptoms should only be short lived. It is, however, important to contact your homeopath should anything arise that causes concern.

Your Current Medication: Please note that homeopathy does not replace standard medicine. Do not discontinue any current medication without prior consultation with your G.P. and homeopath and please see your G.P. in an emergency
