1. I thought you were a Naturopathic doctor, not a homeopath. What’s the difference?
Homeopathy is just one treatment option available in Naturopathic care. Naturopathic Doctors are trained in clinical nutrition, counseling, herbal medicine, homeopathy, hydrotherapy, acupuncture and physical medicine. The doctors at purehomeopathy have chosen to specialize in Homeopathy.
2. How do you know that the homeopathic medicine is working?
Unlike prescription medications where side effects remind you that you are being treated, homeopathic medicines re-establish a sense of balance and normalcy. Our doctors have a structured protocol for following the progress of your symptoms. In order to ensure progressive improvement of your condition, regular follow-up appointments are essential.
3. How long does it take to feel better?
Individual responses to homeopathic treatment vary. Initial improvements may occur immediately for some and more gradually for others. For most chronic or recurring conditions, when the correct medicine is given, changes should be seen within 3-6 weeks. Those who continue care for a year or more will see that their condition begins to stabilize and they experience lasting improvements in overall health. For acute conditions such as the flu, homeopathic medicines can bring relief within minutes.
4. What if I am on prescription meds?
Many patients who seek homeopathic care are already taking prescription medications. Homeopathic medicines have no drug interactions and can safely be taken in conjunction with your current medications.
5. Is homeopathy safe? What is a homeopathic medicine?
Homeopathic medicines are certified by the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United states. This makes our medicines the only natural medicines to meet strict FDA safety regulations. Homeopathic medicines are safe for all ages, including infants, pregnant women, and the elderly. There are no drug interactions between homeopathic medicines and prescription medicines, which makes homeopathy ideal for any patient.
6. What is a homeopathic medicine?
Homeopathic medicines are made from natural substances including minerals, plants or sometimes even animal-based products. There are currently over 2,000 homeopathic medicines. These medicines are prepared using a series of dilutions to create varying strength dosages. The dosages are then applied to the surface of small white lactose pellets, making administration of the medicine easy. Pellets can be dissolved under the tongue or in water. There are no teas to make and no pills to swallow.
