Mental health symptoms have featured widely in the news since COVID first came into the public awareness. People were not allowed to mix socially with friends and family and were told it was for their own safety. Human beings are meant to socialise with each other and may suffer anxiety and sadness if they are unable to meet with others. This lack of human contact resulted in many people experiencing symptoms of depression and anxiety as a result of social isolation. Homeopaths began to see their patients on line. As a practising homeopath I myself started using Apps such as Zoom and FaceTime to see my patients on line since they could not attend in person for an appointment. Patients are happy to see me on line for a consultation and receive their prescriptions in the post. They can attend their appointments visually on the internet which works very well even if they live far away from me. Although many patients initially seek appointments for physical symptoms a homeopath will always ask the patient about their mental and emotional symptoms in addition to their physical symptoms.
Homeopathy for mental wellbeing in the pandemic

I am a registered homeopath with The Society of Homeopaths. I practise in Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire in the UK. I see patients in person or on the internet. Homeopathy helps patients recover from various negative health symptoms. A monthly appointment is recommended until the patient feels better. Often a patient has tried many alternative and complementary treatments before trying homeopathy. View more posts
