Answer
The
first consultation takes
90 minutes to two hours. I need a lot
of information about you, and I aim to gather as much as possible during the
first session. I will prescribe a homeopathic remedy, usually just one single
remedy, and we then wait to see how you respond. I will ask you to telephone me
after two to three weeks to report any changes in your health. Review
consultations are conducted at four to six weekly intervals to fully assess
ongoing progress. The nature of this kind of treatment makes it difficult to
treat people over the telephone or by email. I can, in some cases, offer remote
treatment. If you live far away from Scotland and would like this kind of
homeopathy, please contact me and I will try to help.

Constitutional homeopathic remedies
can set off a process of self-healing.
This does not always produce instant relief of symptoms. Self-healing is a slow,
steady process that takes place over time. Each person is different and each
disease process is different. A disease process that has built up slowly over
many years will heal slowly. We have to consider the pace of the disease. If it
is a slow disease, it must be healed slowly. Instant relief is the remit of
orthodox medicine, but that does not always cure the problems. Slow steady
self-healing is the aim of good classical homeopathy. I encourage every patient
to understand that healing will often take time. We walk together through life
for a few months, gathering understanding and observing your reactions to
treatment. In the longer term, homeopathy can act curatively, but it is not
always easy. Chronic disease often does not let go of you without a struggle,
but classical homeopathy can gently encourage the body to heal, no matter what
the name of your disease.
During our consultations
a good deal of attention is paid to
your lifestyle. Healing requires healthy conditions, and I aim to help each
person identify the changes that are necessary to provide that potential of good
healthy conditions. Each person has different needs that must be addressed
before healing can take place.
