Please let me know if you are planning further medical or dental treatment.
During Homeopathic Treatment
Above all: do not expect your symptoms to disappear overnight. Although cure is a godsend, we still need to contribute ourselves. Try to be patient, especially in chronic complaints.
For your successful homeopathic treatment it is important that you take your remedy as agreed, and then observe yourself carefully (it may be helpful to use a observation form - just ask me). In addition it is very important to report back your symptoms on a regular basis. Therefore, we need to arrange for regular follow up consultations, where we will carefully assess the progress of your healing progress and further treatment. Please prepare for a duration of approximately 45 - 60 minutes. Initially, I will need to see you in shorter intervals, approximately 4 - 6 weeks, depending on your clinical picture. Upon further progress of the healing progress intervals will be much longer. If you cannot appear in person, telephone consultations are possible.
If you have any questions during the treatment, especially if acute symptoms should emerge, please contact me immediately by telephone or email. It may be necessary that I will physically examine you and/or send you another prescription.
Please do not use other homeopathic remedies, Bach flowers, Schüssler Salts or similar treatments without discussing it with me. Do not drink coffee (caffeinated / decaffeinated). However, black or green tea is allowed. Peppermint (many herbal tea mixtures contain peppermint leaves) and camphor may disturb the homeopathic remedy, so try to avoid medicaments, household remedies (tea-tree oil!), toothpaste or mouthwash containing menthol and/or camphor.
Acute Complaints
Please do contact me as soon as possible by phone or mail.
If I am not in the clinic, your call will normally be redirected to my mobile phone. If I am unable to answer please leave a message and I will call you back as soon as I can.

Fees
As I work in my own clinic, my charges are similar to other self-employed professions. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any specific questions.
Fees for treatment are partially reimbursed by alternative supplementary insurance (CH), private insurance respectively state allowance (D). Please clarify the degree of reimbursement that you will receive with your insurance company before starting homeopathic treatment. Should you have any problems with reimbursement, do let me know. For more information concerning fees and treatment see here.
