How will you know if the homoeopath is good?

Some hints, some pointers for you to decide whether the homoeopath you are seeing is any good.

You suffer from a chronic (long lasting) ailment. You have tried allopathy and it does not seem to have helped you. At best those tablets, capsules ans injections have only given temporary relief. You decide to consult a homoeopath. How will you know if he is any good?

(I have assumed the homeopath is a 'he'. No gender bias intended. Just saving space and avoiding repetition. Some of the best homoeopaths have been and are women)

Mind you I am talking here of chronic ailments. Given below are some hints for you to decide.

  • He takes quite a long time when you see him. The session goes on for a hour or two.
  • He is polite and non-judgemental. He does not, by words or body language, show that he has a distaste for you, your thoughts, what you say or the illness you have.
  • He lets you talk. He says little himself. He encourages you to talk. He listens interestedly. He only interrupts you if he feels you are rambling or going astray.
  • He has a piece of paper or a notepad on which he scribbles from time to time.
  • He asks you personal questions. About your sex life, your thoughts towards your family, your family. Your likes and dislikes.
  • He asks you of diseases in your family. May be even one or two generations away.
  • He is never rude. He is polite and patient.
  • When you phone him up after taking the first dose of your homoeopathic medicine, to tell him about how you feel (better or worse), he will listen carefully and reassure you not to worry.
  • Some times he may warn you that after taking the medicine you may feel lousy for some time, but will feel better afterwards.
  • He may ask you to show your medical reports. He may even ask you get some new tests done.
If he is all that, grab him! He is a darned good homoeopath! If he is not at all (not even one point) as described above, run!

A homeopathy enthusiast, Channa, has asked an important questions. We thought it best to create a new post to answer them.


Query One:



can you tell me is there a book t about what remedys should not follow others? an how can i find out which remedys are deep acting and which are short acting..


Relationship between remedies is what we are talking here about. There is a table about it in William Boericke's Materia Medica. There is a small booklet


Relationship of Remedies By Robert Gibson MILLER


I find the best info is given in


The Elements of Homoeopathy By Dr. P. SANKARAN (The price is steep...Rs 750 for the entire book. The relation of remedies is just one chapter in the book)



I am giving a site below which basically sells all books on homeopathy but it gives a lot of details about every book... content reviews etc...My advice. Go to it.

minimum.com



Query Two


i know you should not use two deep acting remedys together.how can you decide which remedy first when there is symptoms of both remedys??

Featuring interviews with experts in the U.S., England, France and Germany, this comprehensive documentary looks at the origins, principles, and modern practice of the alternative and holistic form of medicine known as homeopathy. Two centuries ago, German physician Samuel Hahnemann developed this system of medicine, treating his patients with specialized, minute doses of natural substances intended to increase the body's own inherent defenses. Hahnemann’s methods had amazing results – during the deadly 1832 cholera epidemic that swept through Europe, homeopaths claimed a 97% cure rate.

As Hahnemann's body of knowledge increased, so did his following, although traditional physicians ridiculed his work, and homeopathy spread throughout the world. Today, homeopathic practitioners, physicians and veterinarians continue to successfully treat patients for a wide range of physical and mental illnesses, using ideas and remedies published by Hahnemann in his Materia Medica. Rather than suppressing symptoms, homeopathic medicines stimulate the body to defend and heal itself. Modern clinical trials have proven homeopathy to be safe and effective in a wide variety of non life-threatening conditions. But the processes by which these tiny doses of natural substances are able to cure remains, for many, a mystery.
