What to expect at a Homeopathic Consultation
Since Homeopathy treats the totality of the individual's symptoms, a very detailed consultation is required. There are over 3000 remedies that exist and a Homeopath seeks to find the best remedy for you. You will be asked to describe all your symptoms in detail, family history, likes and dislikes, emotional and physical trauma, stress, lifestyle, sleep, dreams, and much more. As you describe your symptoms, the homeopath may ask questions to clarify those details because a true understanding of all your symptoms is crucial.
In other words, a Homeopath tries to get to know as much as possible about your problem and seeks to understand how it affects your life. It is important to identify what are the rare and unique characteristics of your symptoms in order to choose the appropriate remedy.
For Example: If 10 people have a chief complaint of headache, each person may receive a different remedy depending on the characteristics of their symptoms.
