Consider these main points when researching and having your discovery calls with homeopaths...
Some practitioners care for entire families and children while others may specialize only in women or children.
If you'd like more basic overall homeopathic care for your chronic needs, selecting a practitioner with a medical background is less important. If you'd like more medical insight into your case along with chronic homeopathic care, consider looking at the homeopaths with medical backgrounds.
Typically you'll meet with your homeopath for an Initial Appointment followed by a homeopathic recommendation. Your first Follow Up appointment is about 4-6 weeks later. Most homeopaths recommend routine visits with you every 4-8 weeks depending on your level of need. This is an answer that varies with each practitioner so be sure to ask and they can give you the specifics on your appointments!
This is a tricky one! Each homeopath structures their practice differently regarding response times in various situations. We all communicate differently: some via text, email or a private online platform. Take these into consideration when you're 'interviewing' them or reviewing their websites!
Homeopaths invited to the SCHA Directory typically complete three to four years of classical homeopathic training and fulfill their schools' clinical hour requirements. Their schooling and further credentials are meant to be reflected in their standards of practice.
Classical homeopaths practice according to established homeopathic methodologies, including: The principle of healing through similars, an individualized approach to treatment, the preparation and potentization of remedies, the use of a single most well indicated remedy at a time, the application of minimum dose and the consideration of the totality of the client's characteristic symptoms.
This informs who they are and the additional skills they bring to their homeopathic work.
or even what additional credentials, designations or areas of continued professional development they are engaged in. Most of us are professionally involved in 'bettering ourselves', volunteering time in national homeopathic organizations or training the next generation of homeopaths through our schools! We'd love to share more with you!
Don't be shy, we're happy to share what types of cases we handle.
Homeopathic care is self pay (not covered by insurance) and sometimes you can use your HSA dollars.
Every client's experience is very unique! Sometimes, understanding more about your context allows us to give you a guesstimate of what the next season in homeopathic care might look like and what to expect. Of course like any health care modality, we can't guarantee results, but we can give you an idea of what you may experience.
