Medically speaking, homeopathy belongs to the field of holistic medicine.

Medical homeopathy has the decisive advantage that the physician is familiar with both conventional medicine and homeopathy. Based on the clinical picture, they will be able to determine what the best possible therapy for the patient might look like. For this decision, a thorough diagnosis and a homeopathic case history – anamnesis – are required. A physical examination will be initiated and, if necessary, additional diagnostics to determine the underlying causes of diseases.

What typical causes are known? What is the spontaneous course without treatment? What complications are known and need to be considered? What treatment options does conventional medicine offer?

The approach to the homeopathic case is holistic. During an initial homeopathic consultation for chronic issues, the patient’s current symptoms, personality, past illnesses, and family medical history will be addressed. The patient’s mental and emotional state, as well as their eating, drinking, and sleeping habits, are particularly important. It is also important to know when and where symptoms appear, how they feel, and what improves or worsens them.

In holistic medical practice, the individual phenomena that characterize the person and their illness are particularly important. This means that the patient must observe themselves carefully in order to be able to answer all these questions. Mindfulness can be practiced during healthy periods so that in case of illness these important changes and sensations can be expressed in words. Based on this extensive information, a homeopathic remedy will be chosen that fits the individual clinical picture. Usually, a single remedy is prescribed. In exceptional cases of severe chronic illness, a second remedy may be prescribed at the same time.
