Homeopathy works quickly. In short time patients notice a progressive relief of their symptoms and their body begins to feel better. Many patients have experienced that acute or specific problems (such as cough, pain, fever, or colitis) that need to be solved within minutes or hours, disappear with the homeopathic treatment given. Chronic problems, which the patient has suffered for months or years, may see a reduction in the intensity of the symptoms and the frequency of the crises over several weeks or a few months.
