Homeopathic medicines are compatible with and complement conventional medicine

How did you start your journey in Homeopathy?
Jaume decided to study homeopathy when a family member affected by a serious condition improved dramatically after homeopathic treatment. In 2004 Jaume completed a three years training in medical homeopathy at the Institut Nationale Homeopathique Francais in Paris. He has attended further trainings in homeopathy at the Royal London Hospital for Integrated Medicine, The Clinica Santa Croce in Switzerland, the Medical Homeopathic Academy of Barcelona and the Homeopathic Academy of Asturias.
How do you integrate Homeopathy into your Practice?
The first homeopathic consultation, which usually last between one and one and a half hours, involves intensive listening and questioning. I inquire not only about the current and previous symptoms but also the body, mental and emotional make-up of the patient. This allows me to prescribe the appropriate medicine. Follow-up visits are arranged to assess the action of the medicine on the symptoms, fine tune the dose and frequency of the medicine and prescribe a new medicine, if needed.
The duration of the whole treatment depends on the specific disease and the general state of health of the patient. Some people will improve quite rapidly but in other cases particular symptoms will take longer to resolve.
Homeopathic medicines are compatible with and complement conventional medicine medication.
