Dorae Smith-Blecher - Naturopathy & Homeopathy

A questionnaire is completed and returned prior to your first appointment. This will provide the necessary information on your previous medical history, family medical history, medication, and your current state of health.

Your initial consultation will last between 1-2 hours. Generally it is no longer than one hour for babies and children under 12. During this time we review your questionnaire and a thorough case history is taken with the aim of identifying the core issues that need to be addressed.

You are encouraged to speak, in confidence, about anything that is troubling you. We will consider your current symptoms, how and when they started, what makes them better or worse and how they affect your daily life. Your energy levels, sleep patterns, appetite, thirst and food cravings will be taken into account. Seemingly irrelevant questions will be explored, such as your likes and dislikes, how you respond to stress, and even what you enjoy doing in your spare time. This is done to obtain a complete picture of who you are and the changes that you'd like to make in order to improve your well-being.

Treatment will encompass various different approaches to suit your individual needs, and may include lifestyle and dietary advice; detoxification; nutritional supplements; herbal remedies; tissue salts; as well as the use of flower essences and aromatherapy.

In addition to the above, your constitutional homeopathic remedy will be identified and prescribed in a potency and form tailored to your present need.

Your progress will be monitored by follow-up consultations which last between 30 minutes to an hour. These tend to take place at monthly intervals. Your prescriptions and treatments will be adjusted accordingly to achieve optimum results.

This depends on the nature of your condition and the length of time that you have been suffering with it. Longstanding, chronic conditions that have disrupted your life for some months or years will require several appointments.

Acute conditions tend to require only one or two visits.

The aim is to kickstart your vital force into action, which will enable your body to heal itself and reach a state of equilibrium, called homeostasis. In this state, your body functions as it should and you enjoy a sense of well-being. As a result, infrequent treatment will be required.
