What happens in a homoeopathic consultation?
The homoeopathic consultation is quite different from visiting your GP. Homoeopaths see chronic disease as being a sum of your condition not as a string of different named problems developed one after another. For this reason I need to take a full case history from when you first fell ill. For a symptom to be useful for diagnosis as your homoeopath I will need to know the nature of the symptom ie, what are the distinguishing characteristics of your complaint? Names of diseases are helpful to a homoeopath but these names are too generalised on their own. A homoeopath needs to know what kind of named disease it is you are suffering. What is it about your complaint that is different to the general type?
