The consultation

The first consultation lasts 2 to 3 hours.
The following consultations last about one hour.
During the first consultation, I inquire on the time of first appearance
of symptoms, the general, physical and emotional state of the patient,
and his/her medical history.
What makes the patient's local symptoms and general state better or worse? What are the distinctive or intense reactions of the patients to food, weather, social and emotional environment ? What are sleep, digestion, appetite, food cravings and aversions like ? Before and after the illness ? How are the body and mind expressed in the illness ? What outer or inner factors may have weakened the energy and allowed to illness to settle ? It is the way in which the patient expresses the disease that tells the prescriber what to do.

The emotional sphere is very important with homeopathy. The physical and emotional spheres are interrelated and this fact is at the very centre of the consultation.

What to expect from the consultation?

One of my teachers once told me : " If someone consult with eczema all over the body and that after a consultation or two the patient returns with a smooth skin, but with the same sleeping problems, the same excessive perspiration at night, the same digestive disorder and just as exhausted as day one, there is no deep healing process going on, you didn't prescribe the right remedy and the eczema will soon come out again, one way or another."

With homeopathy, the global healing means that the amelioration should be felt at many, if not at all levels in the person ; physical, physiological, general and emotional. Homeopathy is not satisfied with hiding the symptoms, but rather with helping the whole body to get back its capacity to cure itself. The mission and challenge of the homeopath is to get the best global understanding and feeling of the patient in order to prescribe the appropriate remedy.

The first signs of deep improvement are seen in the disappearing of the symptoms of the main illness but, most importantly in a stronger energy and resistance, a deep sensation of well-being, and a general amelioration of the physical and emotional state. This is why many times people consult for a certain illness, let's say migraines, and find that their long time wart has gone, or tha they are no longer constipated, or their joint pain has gone, or their sleep is more peaceful than ever. When the body gets its energy back with homeopathy, it can cure itself globally.

Cure, palliation or support

In most cases, patients react very well, very fast to homeopathy.
They are deeply cured with no side effects.

In some severe cases the patient does not have much energy left to be stimulated by the remedy and to restore complete health. When homeopathy fails to restore health, it remains a good palliation tool to minimize the symptoms and pain.

Homeopathy is also excellent to reduce pain and anxiety to support patients
in terminal phases who wish to pass away peacefully in a conscious state with the least medication possible.
