The Initial Consultation
  • Where is it located?

    All the consultations are held online via video call using Skype, Signal, Zoom, Jitsi, and similar platforms.

  • What is the interview like?

    It is important to get a comprehensive picture of the wholeness of your situation. Therefore, once you present your current health concerns, we will go through your medical history, that of your family, your general life challenges, psychological pressures, etc. We will try to understand as much about you as possible.
    The homeopathic interview is very detailed. Symptoms you might think of as unusual or unimportant are of great value to us to understand your specific issues.
    We will take into consideration all the fine details that are associated with your problems. For instance, if your eczema gets worse in humid weather, in the summer, or in the winter, it is alleviated outdoors or inside. It might also worsen with certain foods, or might have started after a particularly stressful time in your life. If that is the case, is that stress still affecting you, or is it in the distant past? Answering these questions allows us to get a broader understanding of your condition and not only of your current complaints.

  • How long is the consultation?

    The initial interview with Kristina lasts approximately 60 minutes, with the follow-up sessions being 30-45 minutes long.
    Meanwhile, the consultations with Koby, who has 30 years of experience, are 30 minutes long.

  • How many consultations do I need?

    Every person is different, and the prescriptions are individualized.
    In acute conditions and first aid, results can be seen within a few hours. However, long-lasting chronic complaints tend to have a more gradual recuperation. In the end, it depends on your specific situation. Usually, a rise in vitality and a gradual decrease of discomfort are experienced soon after the beginning of the treatment.

  • When is the Follow-up consultation?

    The follow-up consultation is scheduled four to six weeks after the initial consultation, depending on the individual.

Homeopathy can offer therapeutic options where conventional treatments have failed or plateaued, where they do not exist for the situation, or where they are contraindicated or not tolerated.

  • How long does it take for homeopathy to work?

    A homeopathic remedy can work right away, or it can take several years.  Generally, a well-prescribed remedy will begin to relieve symptoms rapidly, only taking days; it will then continue to be effective over months and years.  This will depend on the specific condition and the severity of symptoms. Acute conditions often respond within minutes to the correctly chosen medicine. Chronic conditions like arthritis may take more prolonged or more frequent doses to return to the desired state of well-being. During periods of acute stress, more frequent dosing may be necessary to support and rebalance your body on both a physical and emotional level. Diet, lifestyle, and medical history may also play a role in how quickly a patient will respond.

  • How do I take homeopathic medicines?

    Homeopathic pellets are highly diluted and enhanced substances. The pellets should be placed on the tongue and let gradually dissolve.  The appropriate dosage depends on the condition, its length, and severity and should be advised by a trained homeopath.  It should be taken 15 min before or after any food or drink.

  • How should I handle homeopathic pellets and tablets?

    It is recommended to avoid touching the homeopathic pellets with your fingers or hands. The oils and moisture might reduce the effectiveness of the pellets. The best way is to shake the required amount into the container’s cap and use this to place the remedy on the tongue and let them dissolve without chewing or swallowing.  Store the medications in a cool dark place. Avoid storing them together with essential oils or direct sunlight and intense heat.

  • Are homeopathic remedies habit-forming? Can I use them every day?

    A well-prescribed homeopathic remedy will not lose its effectiveness with regular usage.  They are not habit-forming because they do not mask symptoms but stimulate the body’s natural ability to heal.  For chronic conditions that call for daily intake, it can be used as long as the condition requires.

  • Will drinking coffee or alcohol interfere with the effectiveness of my homeopathic medicine?

    Coffee interferes with homeopathic remedies.  Therefore, it should not be consumed.  It can be substituted with decaffeinated coffee or alternatives during the homeopathic treatment.

    Other types of stimulants, drugs, and more significant amounts of alcohol also interfere with the healing process and are best avoided.

  • Can I treat myself with homeopathic remedies from the health food store?

    It is next to impossible to understand one’s chronic ailments as with any other condition; we need to seek expert advice.  Even professional homeopaths have to see another practitioner for their own treatment just like another medical professional would. There are over 5000 possible remedies in varying potencies.  A regular health store may only carry 30-40 essential remedies. Treating oneself with constitutional homeopathic remedies without the training and knowledge is usually a recipe that will lead to confusion and further difficulties

  • Should I change my diet?

    Generally speaking, the diet does not influence homeopathic treatment. The proper remedy will facilitate healthier and more appropriate food choices.  On the other hand, a balanced diet assists the remedy and helps the body accelerate the healing process. When one is healthy, the body is naturally more able to extract the nutrients it needs to function optimally. It is always a good idea to eat sensibly, consuming appropriate quantities of properly balanced natural ingredients. You can request guidance in this area with your homeopath.
