FAQ

Please browse through our frequently asked questions to find answers to any of your questions.  If you cannot find what you are looking for, please get in touch.

  • Are there any side effects ?

    You may initially within the first 24-72 hours notice a small aggravation of your physical symptoms but this will be accompanied by actually feeling emotionally and mentally better.  This can be explained by viewing the remedy as giving your own immune system a gentle kick start to move it from its stuck position towards re-establishing a natural balance within you. You may also notice an increase in eliminations from your body which is a good sign as you are ridding yourself of unwanted toxins.

  • Can I take homoeopathic remedies alongside conventional medication ?

    Absolutely. Homoeopathic pillules are complementary remedies and will not interfere with the action of any your prescribed drugs.

  • Do you do home consultations ?

    I am happy to do home visits as and when they are required.

  • Does anything affect the action of the remedies ?

    The remedies can sometimes be antidoted by coffee, camphor, mint (including menthol toothpaste – alternative ones are available from health food shops) and it is best practice to abstain from these whilst taking homoeopathic medicines.  

  • How confidential are my records ?

    All necessary and secure precautions are taken and in addition I am registered under the Data Protection Act.

  • How do I take the remedies ?

    I issue each patient with a detailed instruction form as to how best to take the remedies (see document index) when they are dispensed but the basic principle is to allow the pillules to dissolve naturally in the mouth under the tongue at specified time intervals.

  • How do you know which remedy to give me ?

    Receiving your case over an hour and a half allows me to build up a very detailed picture of your disease symptoms. I am able to match this with the known recorded details of remedies scientifically observed and collated by homoeopaths over many years and identify the best remedy for you accordingly.

  • How long does a consultation last and what is their frequency ?

    Initial consultations are an hour and a half with monthly follow ups lasting about 45 minutes.

  • How many treatments would I need ?

    It is difficult to be precise on this: everyone is different and people heal at different speeds accordingly. I generally ask that patients commit to two treatments initially in order to allow a thorough analysis of the effects of the first prescription. An average course of treatment would probably involve 4 consultations.

  • What sort of conditions can homeopathy treat ?

    Homeopathy can treat any medical or emotional condition that you as a unique individual may possess.  Typical patients include those suffering with:

    • Skin conditions – Eczema, Psoriasis                         Respiratory problems - asthma
    • Infant and Childhood illnesses                                Migraines and Headaches                         
    • Digestive problems - IBS, Acid Reflux                       Stress and Depression
    • ME        
    • Menstrual Disorders
    • Viral and infectious illnesses                                  Fertility issues
    • Rheumatism                                                         Arthritis
    • Tinnitus and Vertigo                                              Cancer

    but this list is by no means exhaustive.
