HOMEOPATHIC CONSULTATION: WHAT TO EXPECT
When you come for a homeopathic consultation, I do an in-depth analysis that gives me a complete picture of your physical, mental, and emotional symptoms–your whole history. When I see children and infants, I go back as far as the time of conception and the history at that time. Treating you in a holistic way helps me determine which homeopathic treatment is suited to you and you only.
Initial Evaluation
After making an appointment you will receive an extensive health history form to complete and bring with you to your first appointment. The initial evaluation may take one to one and a half hours, during which you will find yourself describing your symptoms and difficulties in greater depth and detail than you have ever done before. Most people find this in itself therapeutic; it is common for patients to say they have never felt as well listened to or as understood.
Remedies
At the end of the evaluation I may know immediately which remedy is indicated, or I may take some additional time to analyze the case. There are over 4,000 documented homeopathic remedies. My job is to find one that’s tailor-made for you, so that your specific healing process can be stimulated.
Follow Up
Typically a first follow-up is scheduled four to six weeks after the initial evaluation. The purpose of subsequent visits is to assess the response to the remedy and make adjustments, as needed. Ideally the first remedy will have initiated a healing process, and the first visit provides an opportunity for the patient to have questions answered and progress verified. Occasionally, however, progress is not as rapid as had been anticipated, in which case I will need to consider alternative remedies and potencies. Subsequent visits are scheduled as needed, and typically last approximately 30 minutes.
While many patients experience the deep relief and satisfaction of a cure with the first or second remedy, there are also many patients who are more complex and who require months of treatment and various remedies to experience deep healing. A patience with the process and a willingness to faithfully observe and report one’s symptoms and inner state are important requirements for success in the homeopathic endeavor.
Results
Results will vary depends on how long someone has had an ailment, what their current vitality is like and how quickly their ability to heal is. We can never make any guarantees but Avghi promises you that she gives 110% towards her patients care.
