You would expect the initial consultation to take around an hour as the homeopath must take a medical history. The homeopath would then consider the various available remedies and select one or more to match an individual person’s ‘picture’.
Remedies are usually given in the form of a small tablet or pilule (or sometimes powders or drops to add to water) which should be allowed to dissolve in your mouth. It is important to not then put anything else in the mouth for at least 15-20 minutes as this may interfere with the effectiveness of the remedy.
The length of a course of treatment will depend entirely on each individual and the type of illness. Homeopathy cures from the inside out and, often, outer symptoms, such as a skin complaint, are the last to clear. But homeopaths believe that it is better to be cured of the cause of an illness and its symptoms, rather than to merely relieve or suppress the symptoms.
