Frequently Asked Questions

Homeopathy is a natural, holistic system of medicine that utilizes highly diluted substances to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. It was founded by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843) of Germany. It is based on the principle that ‘like cures like’. In practice, this means that a medicine capable of producing certain effects when taken by a healthy human being is capable of curing any illness that displays similar effects.

This principle has also been mentioned by the ancient Indian poet Kavi-Kalidasa:

“Shruyate hi pura loke, vishasya visham aushadham”.

Translated, this reads, “It has been said of old times in the world that poison is the remedy for poison.”

Hippocrates postulated this principle in the words, “Similia Similibus Curentur” (‘likes are cured by likes’). Another fundamental principle of Homeopathy is that it treats the patient as a whole and as an individual. There is no medicine for any particular disease, but there is a medicine for the patient suffering from the disease. ‘the individual, not the disease is the entity’ said the celebrated Sir William Osler.

Please complete the e-Case Record Form and send it to us atleast 48 hrs before consultation. Your initial consultation will involve a detailed discussion of your health history, lifestyle, and current symptoms will be when possible with the Resident Doctor (can last 30 -60 mins) This will be followed by the consultation with either Dr. Preety Shah or Dr. Prajakta Vaidya (can last 45-90 mins).

During the consultation our aim is to take into consideration all the symptoms that distinguish a person as an individual. We will enquire into the details of the patient’s past and family history, his appetite, thirst, bowel habits, sleep, dreams, etc., and most importantly about his temperament, his nature, and his experiences in it.

We may give you a powder or a dose of pills before starting a set of pills for the rest of the week/fortnight/three weeks/month. This initial dose is very important and should not be skipped. Please ensure to follow the directions of your doctor with regard to this dose. This dose helps to start the treatment and make the rest of the medicines more efficacious. Without this dose (where it is given) the treatment will not begin.

Along with the complaint for which are seeking treatment, you will notice changes in your overall health post-treatment. It is important to notice changes in your appetite, sleep, dreams, mood, bowels, and sense of well-being post-beginning of the treatment. Please report about the same during your follow-ups. 

It is a myth that homeopathy will aggravate every condition before curing it. This is not true. The only exception is if there had been an untreated skin condition in the past which was being treated by local application of steroids, then when you discontinue the steroids, the skin condition of asthma and has had a history of old skin complaint, then as the asthma is getting better, the old skin complaint may come up.

This is the body’s way of showing that the immunity is improving and that it is re-locating the seat of disease from a more important organ (respiratory system) to a less important organ (like skin). Therefore, nobody needs to be frightened about any homeopathic aggravation after the administration of a homeopathic remedy.

Sometimes when a correct homeopathic remedy is given to a patient, he/she may experience a slight increase in their symptoms; in some cases, there may be fever. It simply indicates that the patient’s immune system is responding to the remedy. Please note that this slight increase in symptoms is only transient and the pathology does not increase.

A patient suffering from psoriasis may experience an increase in itching without the lesions actually increasing in size or number; in fact, he/she will note that in a few weeks, these will start reducing. Similarly, a patient suffering from frequent migraines may experience a headache soon after the correct remedy, but in the course of the next few weeks and months will note a decrease in the frequency and intensity of the attacks. It is not necessary that homeopathic aggravations of symptoms, where it does occur, is therefore a good sign. It indicates to the patient that the remedy he has selected for the patient is working and that he should continue the same line of treatment.

There might be discharges that may take place from any of the five natural outlets – nose, mouth, anus, urethra and skin. This means that:

  • If the deposit of the toxins is in the head, the nose is its natural outlet.
  • If it is in the liver or in the respiratory system or stomach its exit is mouth
  • If the toxin is in the intestine, it gets discharged through the anus
  • If it is in the urinary tract it finds an outlet through the urethra and through the urine
  • If under the skin it comes out in the form of some sort of skin eruption.

 

So, do not worry if you notice a runny nose or diarrhoea or vomiting after the initial medication. These discharges are not severe and in spite of the discharges you will experience an overall sense of well-being.

During the treatment of chronic diseases like diabetes, arthritis, and high cholesterol in homeopathy, one needs to understand that there are long-term goals and short-term goals. In the long run, one wants to prevent or delay the complications of diabetes, cholesterol, etc. These long-lasting and chronic diseases respond wonderfully with homeopathy and need longer treatment. Diet, regular exercise, yoga, and meditation are a must to bring long-lasting and permanent cures in chronic cases.

As your condition improves, your need for other medicines including allopathic medicines (if any) will reduce. Your other medicines can be tapered under the advice of the physician who prescribed those medicines.

Please contact us for any other acute complaints (other than the complaint you came for) you may develop while on treatment e.g., infection/fever, etc. All your acute complaints can be managed with homeopathy.

The duration of treatment varies depending on the individual, the condition being treated, and its severity. Some acute conditions may respond quickly, while chronic conditions may require more extended treatment. Your treating homeopath will discuss the expected timeline during your consultation.

This process of potentization is in direct contrast to the toxic drugs of conventional medicine, and their side effects’.

Potencies administered in Homeopathy range from a mother tincture to the 1,00,000th potencies. The sixth potency will have a rough dilution of one drop of the original drug substance diluted in a lake full of water.

Each potency is 100 times more dilute than the previous one. Imagine the 1,00,000th dilution! No one has been able to satisfactorily explain how the remedies act when diluted to such fantastic limits. Yet, potencies are found to act very powerfully.

It seems that in the process of potentization, stored up energy of the drug is liberated. Our medicines are energy. They are prepared by serial dilutions and contain no material substance in them. Hence, no side effects and suitable for all age groups, including pregnant women, infants and even pets.

Homeopathic treatment is a journey. A journey from fragments to wholeness. An important part of this journey is your periodic follow-ups with your Resident Doctors and Senior Consultants at the Clinic.

Follow-up visits are a great way of ensuring continuity of care and maintaining your state of well-being. Firstly, book your appointment a few days before you are exhausting your medicines.

Generally, follow-ups are scheduled every 4 weeks. This will of course vary from patient to patient.

Do bear in mind that as the doctor slot is booked only for you, we do not encourage last-minute cancellation/rescheduling. Please respect the doctor’s time. In case you have any issues with the appointment, kindly notify the admin desk at least one day prior to your scheduled appointment. At this stage we can reschedule your appointment, however, priority will be given to waiting list patients.

Now, coming to the important stuff, what you need to report in Follow-up; you need to answer some set of questions when you give us the monthly follow-up. Please keep this saved and keep us updated. This helps us evaluate your wellness path and make any tweaks as needed.

Healing is an experience that encompasses the whole of you, i.e. your mind, body, and soul. The super-specialization of scientific disciplines has created a silos mentality—leading to a myopic understanding of health & disease. However, an individual is comprised of the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual components operating as a ‘whole unit’ in harmony. A holistic approach reminds you that the whole is made up of many interdependent parts.
