The Consultation
Symptoms are our way of displaying where our vital force is having problems maintaining order in our system, when the external stresses have become too much and can no longer be done passively. The body′s attempt to keep a balance produces outward signs that are usually uncomfortable, and can go on to cause disease which literally means a lack of ease or dis-ease. Discharges in the form of excess catarrh, rashes, inflammation, are all ways the body uses to try to expel toxins to get back to stability. These symptoms are signs and directions to the Homeopath, where the body is attempting to overcome the dis-ease, not merely an inconvenience to our daily lives that often go unnoticed. In the Homeopathic consultation which initially can take well over the hour, detailed questions are asked about you the person, as well as the symptoms that you have. As we treat the person not the disease, we need to know as much about you as possible, your likes and dislikes, food preferences, favourable temperatures etc, because there is only one ‘you′ and no two people are the same. By taking a detailed account of your case, we can try to match your symptoms to a suitable remedy that will boost your immunity, and provide the energy that your body needs to overcome the disease.
