My Practise
My goal is to help facilitate in the healing of my patients through homeopathic treatment and management. To use homeopathy means that you begin to be in tune with your body, its signs and symptoms it expresses; Strengthening you to become well and enabling you to take responsibility for your health.
What To Expect at Your Consult
It begins with a health history intake form, followed by a complete and thorough initial consultation of 1.5 hours. During the visit, your medical history will be discussed and all the symptoms you are suffering from– physical,mental and emotional. You will be asked to describe all your complaints in detail. Questions concerning: sensations, locations, intensity, frequency, what makes the complaint better or worse (such as hot or cold applications, rainy weather, moving or still), when and how it began, anything that accompanies your complaint, dreams, your sensitivities, energy, personality, sleep, digestion, diet, striking and or unusual qualities of the ailments (such as sharp or dull, slow or sudden, burning or crawling), menses, feelings, smells, colour etc. Your reaction to the external world is of particular interest, such as temperature, food and weather. A Homeopathic remedy chosen to match your symptom profile will be prescribed.(Homeopathic remedies can be safely taken with conventional drugs.)
Although initially such intricate questions may be novel, it is in your best interest to be as accurate and open as possible during your consultation. Once the treatment plan is in place, consistent follow-ups will help manage your case and determine your progress, potency and/or dosage changes or remedy changes to support the body’s self-healing capacity. You will want to connect and be comfortable with your practitioner in order to answer to the best of your knowledge during the consultations. This allows your homeopath to select the best remedy suited for you and continue to manage your treatment appropriately with homeopathy.
Follow-up visits
Follow up visits vary depending on the condition. Generally,in the beginning there should be at least 3 follow-up visits scheduled at least 3-6 weeks apart. This helps me determine the effect of the homeopathic remedy as it stimulates the healing response. During follow up visits I asses and analyzing changes to the symptoms and complaints, evaluating levels of improvement, conceptualizing your direction of cure and determine any adjustments to your remedies dose or potency, repetition, or change in remedy. Remember though homeopathy can be extremely and immediately effective in acute ailments, it is not a 'quick fix' to chronic ailments by masking your bodies symptoms, but rather encourages the the body to stimulate its healing capacity. The time in which this may occur varies from individual to individual, depending on their vitality, how long they have been suffering, the severity of their suffering and more. Consistency is extremely important at the beginning of treatment. You want your treatment to be successful, so consistent follow-ups are the way to achieve good results.
Acute cases (such as injuries, urinary track infection, conjunctivitis, colds & flue) can be taken and a remedy quickly administered. Complaints and symptoms should become less severe and recovery time quicken with homeopathic medicine. In such cases results should be noticed within the day (or even within minutes) depending on the individual situation. Frequent brief follow ups are needed to determine remedy changes to support your body through illness, dose and or potency.
