What to expect when you visit a homeopath
You may be wondering what to expect when you visit a homeopath. During the first consultation, your homeopath will ask lots of questions to build up a complete picture about you. It’s a bit like putting together a jigsaw puzzle. They’ll take into account a wide variety of factors that are unique to you. Including your lifestyle, medical history, personality traits, stress triggers and likes and dislikes. The homeopath will take the time to understand what is special about you, and how your body and mind express themselves.
Homeopathy looks at the whole picture. Therefore patients who have the same diagnosed illness – hay fever, for example – are each likely to need different homeopathic medicines.
Everyone needs a healthcare professional they can trust – choosing a Society RSHom – is your guarantee that you are choosing a well-trained, registered and insured professional homeopath.
How many consultations will I need?
Homeopathic treatments involve a gradual process of change towards better health. However, results can also be quick and you can feel far better in a short period of time.
The number of consultations you may need will depend on a number of factors including your age, how long you’ve had the symptoms for, and your response to the remedy in your prescription.
