Why to consult a Homeopath if Homeopathic products are available over-the-counter [OTC] at drug stores ?
For any particular disease, Homeopathic drug repertoire indicates hundreds of remedies to chose from. It is a skill of a Homeopath, through the training s/he has received, to select an appropriate remedy out of the enormous choices. Only the most similar remedy can provide a rapid and permanant cure. Thus it is wiser to take a professional consultation instead of trying out the health-products that are available in drug-stores, which are primarily a mixture of 3-8 commonly indicated remedies for the complaint, since your condition may require a more specific remedy. Apart from the selection of a remedy, a prescription also involves deciding the correct potency [strength] and the number of doses to be taken within a day’s time. An error in assessing either of these will not give the desirable result.
