What To Expect During a Visit To Homeopathic Practitioner?
A Homeopath looks at a person’s mental emotional and physical well-being and responses. This helps the practitioner choose the right remedy to fitting the characteristics of a patient’s overall state.
The homeopathic consultations consist of an initial session which typically takes up to an hour. The Homeopath will ask numerous questions about you, spanning family history, childhood illnesses diet, lifestyle and other areas all of these will help indicate an overarching picture to create the best treatment plan.
The second and subsequent consultations will typically consist of 30 – 45 minutes duration, in which the homeopath will ask questions asking how the treatment has been for them, and seek to identify any changes in the symptoms enable a modification of the treatment if required.

Homeopathic Remedies
Homeopathic Remedies Homeopathic medicines (which homeopaths call remedies) are prepared by specialist pharmacies using a careful process of dilution and succession (a specific form of vigorous shaking) As yet, science has not been able to explain the mechanism of action of ultra high dilutions in the body, but laboratory experiments have repeatedly demonstrated that homoeopathically prepared substances cause biological effects.
The homeopathic medicines are non-toxic, they can be used on babies, children and during pregnancy. Your prescription Your homeopath will prescribe your remedy following the consultation. It will be given in one or more forms – tablet, pilule, liquid or occasionally in the powdered form.
As homeopathic remedies are taken differently from conventional medicines, do make sure that you understand the instructions before you take your remedy. Prescription will be given on each visit to the Homeopathic Clinic.
Has your Old Symptoms Return?
Congratulations!!! You are well on your way on the journey of Homeopathy. ones deal with Acute conditions using a Safe, Gentle, Non- Toxic medicine.
We have used the acronym CLAMS, to gather the relevant information on the symptoms.
Clams stands for:
C – Concomitant – A symptom that accompanies the main complaint
L – Location – Where the pain/symptom is located within the body
A – Aetiology – The possible cause behind the complaint
M – Modalities – What makes the complaint better or worse
S – Sensation – What is the pain like? e.g. sore, shooting, throbbing, sharp.
Choose the best fitting remedy, you’ve chosen the potency and the dosage and administered to the person suffering the ailment, so what happens next?
You see the symptoms disappear before your eyes – the person continues to improve and recovery is complete.
The symptoms have improved for a short time and then worsened again – you repeat the remedy up to 3 more times.
The symptoms don’t change at all – you re-assess and choose a different remedy.
These are all Acceptable Outcomes, but there is a 4th option to be aware of and that is an Old Symptom Returning, something that has not been experienced by the person for a while. They would not have told you about it initially as it did not form part of the symptom picture for this acute, but as a response to the remedy given here it is. Now it sounds like it is a bad thing, why is something old coming back?? Well it is quite the reverse…
This is a POSITIVE sign
This indicates that the remedy has resonated within the individual and the body is showing you this. The body is letting you know that this symptom is still unresolved and that the remedy you have given has prompted it to re-emerge, it is a very good indication that you have chosen a well suited remedy.
What to do if Old Symptoms Return?
Do nothing – wait and observe as the body continues to process the symptom, leave it to do it’s work.
Take the case again – if the symptom becomes problematic and is not tolerated then re-assess, include the Old symptom and prescribe a new remedy, following the process for Remedy Selection again.
This is all part of Home Prescribing for Acute conditions – Keep going you are doing a great job!!!
NOTE: This would be the same action if the person being treated experienced an aggravation of symptoms. Again this is a good sign that the remedy has prompted this reaction. You should adopt the same process as above for Old Symptoms Returning.
