If we are treating an acute condition, you can see results within minutes of taking the remedies. For chronic conditions it obviously makes sense that it will likely take longer to see results. Typically we assess the symptoms at the initial consultation and document severity at this time and reassess in 8 weeks to measure improvements. It is specifically done this way as you tend to forget how severe things were initially as you begin the healing process. 

Healing naturally is most definitely a journey and you need to remember that it took years of covering up and suppressing symptoms to get you to the health state that you are currently in. It is very common to take 2 steps forward and 1 step back during the journey. We carefully document all of this along your journey to help remind you of just how far you've come. 

We like to explain homeopathy like having a pendulum that has swung far to the left or right for a really long time.  You have had X symptom for a length of time. Homeopathy will take time to bring the pendulum back to the center. At this point the remedy is likely to be stopped. However energetically it has been pulled to the one side for a long time and it's likely that it will gravitate to that side again. This time, it will take less time to come back to balance. 

That is a difficult question to answer as it all depends on the state of health/disease you were in to begin with when starting homeopathy. During the course of healing, we need to remember to not suppress symptoms again. Instead, we will use homeopathy to work through any acute issues that arise. Often times when one layer of disease is uncovered another layer of disease may rise to the surface showing us what the body needs to focus on next. This is perfectly normal and expected. 

Depending on your location, we have a few different homeopathic pharmacies that we trust and are a reputable source. In Canada, we order from Thompsons Homeopathic. In the US, Boiron and OH&M are great homeopathic pharmacies. In the UK, Helios and Ainsworth are great homeopathic pharmacies. This can also be discussed during your consultation.

Many homeopaths are classically trained and follow the rule of one remedy at a time and the watch and wait approach. We have been trained by Clinical Homeopaths and Practical Homeopaths. We often times prescribe multiple remedies at a time and can use organ remedies, isotherapy (utilizing the actual source that caused the symptoms in the first place), gemmotherapy (utilizing homeopathic gemstones), colour remedies and/or other remedies such as those made from sunlight, moonlight, etc. We also follow alot of Banerji Protocols.
