Understanding the Healing Process and Why Follow-Ups Matter
By Kirsty Richards DipHomNZ RCHom
What Is Homeopathy?
Homeopathy is a natural, gentle system of healing that supports the body’s own ability to heal. It’s based on the principle of “like cures like.” In simple terms, a substance that can cause symptoms in a healthy person—when prepared homeopathically—can help relieve those same symptoms in someone who is unwell.
Your Body, Your Story
In homeopathy, you are more than just your symptoms. Your homeopath will look at:
Your physical health
Your emotional wellbeing
Your sleep, digestion, energy
Your personality and life experiences
All of this helps identify a remedy that matches you as a whole person, not just a disease label.
How Homeopathy Works:
Healing Happens in Layers
Especially in chronic or long-standing issues, healing is a step-by-step process—like peeling back the layers of an onion. One remedy may begin the process by easing your most pressing symptoms. Over time, deeper emotional or physical patterns may come to the surface and require a different remedy or a change in approach.
Why You May Need Multiple Consultations
It’s completely normal to need several consultations before symptoms are fully resolved. Here’s why:
✅ Chronic conditions take time to shift
✅ Your response to a remedy is unique and needs to be monitored
✅ New symptoms may emerge as deeper layers begin to heal
✅ Remedies may need to be adjusted along the way
The Role of Follow-Ups
Follow-up appointments are a key part of your healing journey. They allow your Homeopath to:
Track your progress
Understand how your body is responding
Make changes to your remedy if needed
Support you through each phase of healing
Even if you’re feeling better, a follow-up can help fine-tune the process and ensure lasting results.
Healing Is a Journey, Not a Quick Fix
Homeopathy doesn’t mask or suppress symptoms—it aims to bring true balance and wellness from the inside out. That takes time, attention, and partnership between you and your Homeopath.
