Frequently Asked Questions

A Homeopath needs to know as much about the patient as possible, in order to select the correct remedy. The remedies are fine tuned, down to the individual to be most effective, if a remedy does not have an effect, this doesn't mean that a Homeopath has got it wrong, it means that they need further information.

In a consultation, I would want to know things such as;

• What makes it better/what makes it worse?
• If there is any pain, what is the pain like?
• What are your energy levels like?
• What is your sleep pattern like?
• Any fears/phobias?
• What foods do you like/dislike?
• How would people describe your personality?

I would then spend a few hours, after you have left to work out which would be the closest remedy to you, to meet your needs.

The remedies all look and taste the same, as they are all coated onto small sugar tablets. 

They are taken by placing one in your mouth and leaving it for approx. 30 seconds, when it can then be crunched or swallowed. 

There are no hard and fast rules as to how often to take a remedy, as it depends on how quickly your energy system is using up the remedy. I will inform you upon prescription, of how frequent you should take your remedy, individualized to you but this may be increased and decreased as required.

For example if you have a high temperature you may need to take the remedy every 10 minutes until the temperature reduces.
