Acute Homeopathy Frequently Asked Questions

Questions and answers

Here is a selection of questions that are frequently asked during the course.

1. Is Homeopathy safe, for everyone?

    The answer is yes, but with some provisos. You must be using Homeopathy in the right way, for it to be safe. For example, if you repeat a dose of a remedy more than 5 times in one day you run the risk of proving it – which means you may develop symptoms the remedy set out to solve. Used in the right way, Homeopathy is safe for everyone, including children and pregnant mothers.

  2.Can you take more than one remedy at a time?

      There are a large number of combined remedies on the market, for teething and sore throats etc and we tend not to use them. If you find the right (closest) remedy, and you should resolve the symptoms that the patient has. There are some practitioner only combined remedies, that work exceptionally well. They have been beautifully engineered and are always used with care.

3.How long do remedies last, once you have taken them?

If you are treating an acute with a 30C if you have the right remedy, it should  improve or resolve the symptoms. After a few hours you might have to find a new remedy, but when you find the right remedy for the symptom picture, all of those symptoms should pass.

4. How does Homeopathy work?

There are quite a few ways of explaining  this but this is the one I like. Each remedy has a unique signature or frequency. When the right remedy is found to match the symptoms the body is triggered into a healing response. Just that. There are lots of other aspects to it, but that is the essential one.

5. How do you accurately build up the symptom picture?

According to Ullman, you look, listen, ask. What can you see before you? – (apart from sick , grumpy family member) are they sad, irritated, restless, hungry, thirsty, angry… What are they saying to you? What else is there? Did they have a nightmare? Do they feel dizzy? Etc etc. To diagnose my family, I have to detach a bit and pretend I’m someone else’s Mum.

6. Where did homeopathy come from?

There is an explanation of the history of Homeopathy at the start of the course, and this pretty much explains how it has come about. To show what a huge part  pharmaceutical giants have had in trying to extinguish Homeopathy, in the 1900’s one in every five medical doctors in the United States of America was a Homeopath. There were over 20 Homeopathic Colleges and 100 Homeopathic Hospitals. These were gradually shut down by political pressure.
