The Homeopathic Process

Virtual and In-Person Homeopathic Care

What to Expect in the Process

In the realm of healing, homeopathy stands apart from allopathic approaches by focusing on individualized treatment based on the principle of "like cures like" and the belief that the body has the ability to heal itself when supported with gentle remedies tailored to each person's unique constitution and symptoms. This means that the homeopathic appointment is a little bit different than you might be used to because the appointments are much longer, and in great depth.

The Followup Appointment

for adults and children

All followup appointments consist of a thorough review and assessment to your response to the prescribed remedy. This includes any change in your specific symptoms and overall welling.

This appointment will address any concerns or questions you may have, and often uncover new layers of the symptom picture which help to bolster the totality of symptoms and the entire symptom picture.

For adults, this appointment usually ranges from 1-2 hours in length, with the children’s appointment ranging from 45 minutes-1.5 hours.

The suggested timing for a followup appointment is variable and dependent on the individual and the individual treatment. Generally it falls within the 4-8 week range following the start of a remedy, but as treatment goes on it will transition to 3-6 month followup frequencies.

Consistent homeopathic care is required for successful homeopathic treatment. Healing takes time and dedication, and it takes the efforts of both homeopath and patient.

Homeopathy emphasizes the strange, rare and peculiar.
It emphasizes what is characteristic and unique to you.
You might be asked to consider and explain things at depth that you may not expect to matter so much, but in the homeopathic context, it does.

Perhaps some unexpected things you’ll be asked about

  • Specific sensations help us differentiate from one remedy or another. It’s helpful to know exactly what you feel, where you feel it and what makes it better or worse.

    No only do we want to know that you feel pain, but we want to know if it’s an aching, gnawing, pressing, tearing, stabbing, or shooting pain. We want to know if it extends anywhere, if anything else happens with it and what the exact circumstances it arises in.

    With every complaint - whether physical, emotional or mental - will be accompanied by an inquiry into what exactly is it that you feel.

  • Modalities in homeopathy are the things that make you feel better, and the the things that make you feel worse. We call them ameliorations and aggravations.

    Do you have a headache that feels like there is so much pressure that your head is going to explode, but is better by pressing on it or wrapping it up tightly? Does that headache feel better in a dark room, but is aggravated by light? Is that pressure relieved if you cry, or eat?

    Do you have back pain that is better by laying on something hard? A sore hip that is better by lying on it?

    Do you have pain in your knees that is initially worse by movement, but continued movement makes it feel better?

    These are just a few examples of how modalities help us create a complete picture of the totality of your symptoms.

  • Sleep of course plays a huge role in health and functioning. We want to know how well you’re sleeping, how long it takes you to fall asleep, and the position you sleep in. We want to know if you like the windows closed or open, if you stick your feet out of the blankets, and if you snore, sleeptalk or sleep walk.

    We also want to know about your dreams. Are there recurring dreams that you have? Do the emotions and feelings of your dreams linger throughout the day? Do you dream about snakes? Or falling into water?

    Homeopathy is one of the few modalities that really wants to know the intricacies of how you sleep and dream.

  • Fears and phobias are another really important thing in homeopathy that helps guides homeopaths to choosing the correct remedy for the individual.

    We want to know if you’re claustrophobic, how you feel about big crowds, if you’re afraid of getting sick, or if you’re afraid of death. We want to know what kinds of animals you’re afraid of and if there are any objects that trigger fear in you. Are you afraid of the future? Of failure? Do you have fear that seems completely cashless?

    Big and small, significant and trivial, it matters!

  • Do you notice that you feel a certain way when it’s cloudy? Does a certain symptom rear its head before a storm? Does something specific happen in the sun? Do you “run hot” or find yourself always freezing cold? Do you stick your feet out from the covers? Do you feel a chill in the base of your spine? Does it move up, or down your body?

    These are just some examples of some of the things that homeopaths want to know. This tells us a lot about what remedy you might need.

  • We want to know your “weird” symptoms. The symptoms that make you kind of go “huh?.” The symptoms that don’t seem to make a lot of sense. The symptoms that other healthcare practitioners turn a blind eye to.

    The Repertory (the big book of symptoms that homeopaths use of find remedies for you symptoms) has thousands, if not millions of symptoms in it. And some of them might are a little bit “weird.”
