| Homeopathic Interview |
|
The homeopathic practitioner needs to acquire insight into the individual client as a whole. Curiosity, compassion and active listening are the tools used to discern the physical, emotional or energetic imbalances which cause suffering in the client. What can homeopathy treat?Homeopathy has wide application, from acute fevers, sore throats and toothache, to chronic illnesses such as arthritis, eczema, asthma, anxiety, mild depression, chronic fatigue syndrome, and autism. What do we talk about?A health and family history is obtained, current problems are discussed, and a thorough examination of the habits and stresses of the client’s life are taken into consideration. The homeopath may recognize patterns of thinking, behavior or lifestyle which might be adjusted to allow healthier responses to emerge, and might make suggestions for changes in these areas. Sometimes the things that cause dis-ease in our lives are simple, but not obvious. How long does it take?This process of case-taking requires about two hours for an initial visit for an adult with subsequent regular, though infrequent follow-ups of a half- to one-hour each. Children can take less tome, depending on the nature of the problem. How frequent are the follow-ups?It's on a case by case basis; usually the second visit 3-6 weeks after the first and once a month until the problem is resolved. What can I expect?A remedy can act relatively rapidly with acute or recent problems, but those of a chronic nature may require more time for deep changes to occur.
