What to talk about during the online consultation?

In addition to the main complaints, appointing the right remedy requires the individualization of each case. 

​

Major type complaints - headache, back pain, fever, and cough are very common and do not carry information about the specific conditions, which does not help in choosing the most appropriate remedy for the case. It helps a lot more if "I have a headache" is supplemented by "left, shooting pains, I feel better by lying on this side or by tightening my head with a ribbon." There may also be "cold and wind aggravates". This individualizes the case and helps a lot to find the right remedy. Patients are sometimes surprised at why they are asked strange questions, which they think are irrelevant to current complaints.

The homeopath will have the patience to listen to you, so you should have the patience to tell him in detail - otherwise, homeopathy is not your method of treatment.

In fact, a good prescription largely depends on the patient's ability to explain his or her symptoms. He needs to describe in his own words the problem, as fully and as accurately as possible, by answering the questions, with details if necessary. 

Based on all the information collected, a dozen of the most appropriate remedies for the patient are obtained through reference books or a homeopathic program. According to the principles of homeopathy, one homeopathic remedy is given, the most appropriate for the moment and the patient's response is monitored.

​

What is homeopathic follow-up and why is it so important?

​

There are several developments after the first review. Assuming that you have been given the most appropriate medicine for you that completely covers the whole picture of the symptoms. In this case, a single dose of high dilution from the drug and a short time to fully recover is sufficient. In doing so, it is advisable to live in the fresh air in the countryside or on an island without worrying about tomorrow and work to keep you in perfect balance. However, this picture is quite utopian.

First - patients these days, most often take different chemical medications and antibiotics and would not recover from a single dose of homeopathy. There are indeed exceptions, but these are more often people who are not immune-compromised, acutely ill, with fever and recovering quickly on their own.

Secondly - diseases can be compared to an onion head, each layer of which is a previous problem and therefore needs to be addressed at some point, which means the patient might need a different remedy for each layer. This takes time, months, sometimes years, until the next complaint is displayed.

Third -the therapist might not always be able to selecting the most appropriate preparation immediately. In addition, the potency, the frequency of the medicine are important.

​

For acute cases, close monitoring is recommended.

 

For chronic cases, during the Follow-up interview, the homeopath can determine the action of the remedy and adjust the dose if needed, even to change the remedy if necessary.
