Homeopathy is promising in the treatment of both acute and chronic, recurring diseases. The increase in the number of patients seeking homeopathic treatment has entailed a growing demand for good homeopaths or homeopathic doctors. A web search will throw up several names across the screen. However, the task of selecting a suitable homeopath/ homeopathic doctor who is suitable for you is quite a challenge.
Let me share my views on “how to identify a good homeopathic doctor,” based on my clinical experience in the field of homeopathy for almost 30 years.
I suggest the following points to help you select a good homeopathic doctor or homeopath.
1. Basic qualification and medical exposure
2. Experience relevant to your ailment
3. Professionalism
4. Accessibility and services
All homeopathic doctors worldwide are not the same in terms of qualification and proficiency, as is the case with any other profession.
1. Basic Qualification and medical exposure
Different countries have different homeopathic education systems, and thus, homeopathic doctors are trained in different ways. Only some countries have education systems that train homeopaths like conventionally trained medical doctors. Please click here to check the degrees offered in various countries.
It is important that your homeopathic doctor has medical exposure and training. Your homeopath should be able to read and interpret medical reports and apply that knowledge in selecting the appropriate treatment strategy for you.
2. Experience relevant to your ailment:
If you are getting treated for, say Hepatitis C or Asthma or Psoriasis, it is important that your homeopathic doctor has relevant experience in handling patients with that particular disease. An experienced and efficient homeopath would have treated at least 50 common diseases (like vitiligo, migraine, alopecia areata, etc.), at least 20 uncommon diseases (like Nephrotic Syndrome, Psoriatic arthritis, Ankylosing spondylitis, etc.), and at least 5 rare diseases (systemic lupus, scleroderma, etc.).
3. Professionalism:
Your homeopathic doctor should ideally have a professional set-up, a well-staffed clinic, infrastructure, and a professional approach towards handling your case over the treatment period.
4. Accessibility of services:
Homeopathic treatment for chronic diseases may take time. During the entire course of treatment, it is important that you can keep in constant touch with your homeopathic doctor or his staff, by personal visits, phone calls, email, video conferencing, etc.
It is important for your homeopathic doctors to offer you a professional Patient Support System for easy communication.
