When you see a homeopath she'll give you a consultation. They usually
prefer you to have had a diagnosis from a GP. They look into everything to
build a picture up about you, your family health history, your temperament
etc. It's really interesting.
My homeopath is also a homeopathic tutor but I'd say that they're all as
good as each other. The only thing I'd say is that if you've had a problem
for a long time it does take a good while for the treatment to kick in and
I'm not saying that it works for everyone.
Where do you live by the way? I'm near Croydon in South East London/Crystal
Palace/Surrey.
Would a hypnotist help with weight loss do you think. This PCOS is an
absolute nightmare. I've got a 13 week old baby and I'm still trying to
lose a stone of the 3.5 stone I put on. But I was still 1.5 stone heavier
than my normal weight to begin with. Help. I'm going on holiday next week
and am dreading putting that swimsuit on.
The homepath is currently treating me for my weight with Fucus (in either
liquid or tablet form).
If you can't get to a homeopath any health shop that sells homeopathic
remedies will sell the products that I take but it's best to see someone as
my products may not suit you.
Let me know how you get on!
