Initial Consultation
“It is not a matter of theory or belief or opinion…Homeopathy must rest upon facts.” James Tyler Kent
The first visit may last from 2 to 3 hours. This is an uninterrupted time for you to convey to your homeopath your concerns and symptoms. You don’t need to prepare anything for this meeting as we’d like the interview to be spontaneous. You will do most of the talking and, at the end, we will ask questions to fill in whatever gaps may exist. After careful analysis, a homeopathic remedy is chosen for you.
Lisette’s consultation room
In Classical Homeopathy, we seek to see each person in his or her totality. Symptoms on the mental, emotional and physical planes are all considered important in understanding the expression of an illness. In our first interview, we collect information related to your unique patterns of behavior, patterns of becoming ill and how you respond to emotional events such as stress, grief or joy. All these elements are useful in determining which remedy works best for you.
Follow-up Appointments
A follow up visit will be booked for 4 to 5 weeks after taking the remedy and every 4 to 5 weeks thereafter for at least 6 months. It is vitally important to the success of homeopathic treatment that we adhere to the follow-up schedule. This is the only way to stay on track and keep the treatment moving along. As your health improves, the time between follow-ups lengthens and often visits stretch out to once or twice a year.
If you are prescribed an LM potency, a check in by phone should be done weekly for the first few months. If symptoms worsen or an acute illness begins, discontinue the remedy and call us.
When to Call Us First
Common illnesses which arise during your treatment, such as colds and flus, are best treated homeopathically. Please call first before taking any medication even if you think the symptoms you are experiencing aren’t related to the initial reason for which you sought homeopathy. Avoid immediately taking drugs, supplements, over-the-counter medications or herbal, flower, or homeopathic remedies as you might have done before. These may interrupt the progress of your treatment.
In case of medical emergency please call your physician or 911.
