You have to believe in it enough to make the appointment and come to the consultation.
But the action of the remedy as such does not depend on the patient’s belief in its efficacy. A homeopathic remedy administered to a baby or a fainting person will act on their vital force regardless of their opinion of this therapeutic method. Homeopathic remedies are also successfully used on animals… and plants.
It works by increasing our vitality and correcting the imbalance in the vital force that causes illness. By targeting the cause of disease, homeopathy aims to restore a state of health, by mobilizing the body’s self-healing potential.
Because homeopathy resonates with the individual and not with his or her illness, there is no list of ailments it can treat: there are as many possible applications of homeopathy as there are clients, and for more than 200 years this science has been proving its effectiveness in treating numerous ailments, both chronic and acute. It can even be used in the case of serious lesions, where the aim is to reduce the intensity of symptoms and improve quality of life.
The support I offer is based on a synergy between homeopathy, holistic nutrition and phytotherapy.
Please note that as I am not a doctor, I do not diagnose or treat illnesses.
Do not stop your medical treatment without consulting your doctor. Homeopathic treatment often enables you to reduce the dose of your medication, of course in agreement with your doctor, who may, depending on the improvement in your condition, reduce the dose, the frequency of intake or even stop your medication.
Homeopathic remedies transmit an energetic message which it would be a shame to blur with products that can potentially cancel out or weaken their action.
That’s why I urge you to follow these few rules:
– take the remedy away from meals and drinks, and away from tooth brushing
– do not touch the granules with your fingers
– do not use products containing camphor or mint in the days following the remedy.
– avoid drinking too much coffee in the days after taking the remedy
– don’t store the remedy near your cell phone, cordless phone, wifi console, etc. (I’d go even further: keep both the remedy and yourself as far away as possible from sources of electro-magnetic radiation).
– respect the prescribed dose, frequency, method and time of administration (sometimes I’ll suggest a specific method of administration, e.g. dilution in water). Homeopathic remedies are simple to administer, often requiring no more than 2 to 4 doses. But there may be times when a remedy needs to be administered more frequently – I’ll guide you through this.
Homeopathic remedies are gentle, and when prescribed by a qualified practitioner – without annoying side effects.
In some cases, at the start of the healing process, there may be a brief intensification of existing signs, or a very fleeting return of past signs. This occurs when the body’s vitality is increased by the effect of the remedy and seeks to recreate a new balance. You can contact me to discuss this or ask me about it during your follow-up consultation.
You will also gradually learn to be “homeopathically” attentive to the different manifestations of your being, and this will contribute to the process of discovery that we will pursue together during our consultations.
What does a homeopath do when he needs a homeopathic remedy? He who knows his art will usually consult one of his colleagues. Indeed, finding a homeopathic remedy for oneself is not an easy task, even for experienced practitioners. It’s not enough to know the remedies and rules of the art of homeopathy.
The question of the perception of signs and symptoms is very important.
We can say metaphorically that the imbalance in the vital force that disrupts health means that our perception of reality – including our perception and awareness of ourselves – is somehow affected, as if we were looking at the world and ourselves through colored glasses or a veil. Things are not seen in the same way by a homeopath – a third person – who will look at you without this filter and will have a prejudice-free, non-judgmental approach, full of curiosity and benevolent attention towards you and your various manifestations.
That said, we can all keep a small first-aid kit at home, with Arnica as the main remedy. I will recommend
which remedies to have on hand and how to find your way around.
