Walk the Talk with your Doctor, Co-authored by holistic practictioner Priyadarshini Kamat and Roopashree Bhat

Living in the times post- COVID, It thus becomes pertinent in asking the most raging question these days...is it possible to treat our day to day ailments with Homeopathy and also build immunity in the due process ?

The answer is YESSS...

Homeopathy can be very suitably used to build up on all our immunity and combat diseases to a large extent.

To understand this better, let us jog our memory back to how homeopathic medicine works. For instance, when someone goes to a doctor with the common migraine ,they are given, what is called acute medicine to treat it. But, that is just temporary relief.

For a long term relief with migraine, one needs to visit the doctor again : post symptom free ; to initiate the constitutional remedy or immune boosting remedy and together work towards developing an immunity. The process involves a doctor taking up a case asking a long list of necessary questions.

One often gets riddled with the long list of questions that get posed to them. These questions can vary from knowing the work schedules of the patient to their relationship with their parents . The questions can also be knowing the likes and dislikes in food to their social interactions in the society. It can get even funnier at times when the doctor wants to know the pooping habits too.

These questions , may sound vague; but help the doctor in establishing the exact areas of stress and thereby root cause of any health issues . The doctor then relies on his homepathic knowledge to treat the patient and serve him well in advance of any health issues, which in other words is BUILDING IMMUNITY.

One needs to be honest with the doctor , irrespective of the questions posed to them. These questions are the building blocks for the doctors to help the patient , work towards build an immunity. Any information withheld or not told, will only delay the process of immunity building.

Properly diagnosed, the doctor can probably predict the periods of a possible health blip and address it in advance. The process, albeit lengthy is sure to yield results .

It also can be of interest to people to know if the constitutional remedy or immune boosting remedy is the same for all, given the questionnaire would be the same . But the different answers in patients and their medical history varies the potency and frequency of the medicines given.

For instance, a hypothyroidism may need a medicine of higher potency or medicine at frequent intervals compared to another condition. The immune boosting remedy may of lower potency to treat migraine related symptoms.

So , for a homeopath, each patient is unique and dealt with utmost sincerity.

Patience and perseverance play a big role in immunity building in Homeopathy and one needs to trust the doctor for the process. As getting healthier becomes the need of the day, I think we are all good to walk the talk with our doctors .
