The specific characteristics of a homeopathic consultation

A homeopathic consultation follows the same pattern as any other medical consultation. Respecting the similars and globality principles involves specific semiological elements. The different stages of the consultation are enriched by the discovery of symptoms which are not only useful for diagnosis but also necessary to a homeopathic prescription. Homeopathic semiology is not opposed to classical semiology; it complements it to the benefit of the patient as much as the physician. Because of its low cost, low toxicity and the absence of negative outcomes, a homeopathic prescription is in the interests of Public Health Expenditure. A modicum of knowledge of this therapeutic approach could be used to address patients' queries.
