Homeopathic doctors work in the same way as conventional doctors do.
History taking, examination and investigation are all important in establishing the diagnosis. However, as well as asking about your symptoms, a homeopathic doctor will be interested in you as an individual and the unique way in which your symptoms affect you.
Every new patient will have a consultation, where questions about your lifestyle, eating habits and preferences, temperament, personality, sleep patterns and medical history help Louise to form a complete picture of you. This picture will be matched to the symptoms of your illness in order to prescribe a particular type and strength of homeopathic medicine.
To get the most out of a consultation, it is helpful to make some notes beforehand and to think through all the issues that are affecting your health.
