What is Homeopathy?
Homeopathy is a natural system of medicine that stimulates the body's own healing ability.
It is based on the principle of "like cures like" — meaning a substance that can cause symptoms in a healthy person can help cure similar symptoms in someone who is unwell.
Homeopathic remedies are made from natural substances and are given in very small, highly diluted doses. Homeopathy treats the individual as a whole, aiming to restore balance on physical, emotional, and mental levels.
Homeopathic Remedies and Potencies
Homeopathic remedies are prepared from natural sources such as plants, minerals, and animal substances. Through a process of repeated dilution and vigorous shaking (called potentization), the healing properties of the original substance are enhanced while minimizing toxicity. Remedies are given in different potencies — the level of dilution and potentisation — depending on the needs of the individual. The appropriate remedy and potency are chosen based on the unique symptoms and overall state of the person.
Principles of Homeopathy
🌿Individuality - characterizes your illness and your presenting symptoms. I look at what makes you and your symptoms better and worse, what characterizes your nature and personality.
🌿Totality - refers to the extent of your current illness, and all the related mental, emotional and physical components relevant to your current illness. This includes etiology and predisposing factors causing your illness.
🌿Minimum dose - the appropriate dosage of the homeopathic remedy needed for the most gentle healing process.
What to expect from your consultation?
I offer three kinds of consultations.
🕊️Initial consultation
This is your first meeting with me. This meeting may take between one and 2 hours. In this meeting, I will want to hear about your illness, about yourself as a person, how the illness affects you, any predisposing factors and causations of your illness, and what your expectations are from the treatment. I will ask about what characterizes you and your illness, and if there are any strange symptoms that you cannot explain. These are symptoms specific to you.
After this meeting, I will work in order to find the appropriate homeopathic remedy that matches the sum and synthesis of the information you have provided. I will give you instructions on how to order the remedy from a homeopathic pharmacy. I provide the dosage instructions.
🌱Follow up consultation
The follow up consultations are made once a month, and during these meetings we monitor your progress. I will want to hear how you are feeling in general and in relation to the symptoms you presented in the initial consultation. After we have discussed your progress over the past month, we will decide how to progress – whether you repeat the dosage, and how often its needed, or whether a new homeopathic remedy is needed. This meeting requires an hour.
I recommend making regular follow up meetings once a month as they enable you to achieve wellbeing and a good quality of life.
🌟Acute consultation
Acute consultation is recommended for existing and non existing clients who experience an acute accident, and require first aid homeopathic treatment. This meeting requires between half and hour and an hour. I will give you instructions on how to order the remedy from a homeopathic pharmacy. I provide the dosage instructions.
