If you have never consulted with a Homeopath before either online or face to face you will notice the sessions are very different to your GP appointments because they are not rushed and you can talk about all of the things that are affecting you. You are not just restricted to talking about one thing and the first Homeopathy consultation lasts around 75 minutes for an adult as it is important that I take the time to understand you and how your body has become imbalanced.
It is important to go through all of your medical history even if for example you are coming to see me for a specific problem, let’s say for help with your periods. This is because I need to find out the root cause of why your hormones are out of synch, there may be a number of reasons including reactions to medications, lifestyle, history of hormonal contraceptive use, stress, emotional traumas or simply your periods being out of balance since you were a teenager.
People are often surprised that a Homeopathic consultation is so thorough and that not only do we go though a medical history timeline but I also want to find out about you as a person; what makes you tick, what do you enjoy doing, what makes you angry or upset? I need this information as it helps me build up a picture of you and pinpoint which remedies you will need to bring you back into balance again.
Homeopathy is not a one size fits all medicine you see, no two people with irregular periods, PMS or anxiety will get the same prescription as we all experience these things in completely different ways! Appointment are flexible too as they can be done from the comfort of your own home with an online consultation.
After the first consultation you will be sent your prescription with instructions of how and when to take the remedies. You can email me with an update of how you are doing around 14 days after taking your remedies or just wait until your follow up appointment where we can discuss things in more detail.
Follow ups are important so that we can assess your reaction to the prescription, whether anything needs changing and to keep on top of progress. It is likely that if you have had your issue for a number of years then you will need to see me for around 4 – 6 monthly consultations so that true deeper healing can occur.
Homeopathy is not a quick fix that suppresses your ailment to deal with at a later stage but something that can get to the core issue of why you are out of balance and bring you back gently into alignment again.
