Frequently Asked Questions

Homoeopathy is a natural, holistic system of medicine that has been used for over 200 years to treat various health conditions. It works on the principle of "like cures like" - using highly diluted natural substances to stimulate the body's own healing mechanisms.

At Dr. Padma's clinic in Kalena Agrahara, Bangalore, we use constitutional homoeopathy to address the root cause of your health concerns, not just the symptoms. This personalized approach considers your physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

Benefits of Homoeopathy:

• ✓ 100% natural and safe
• ✓ No harmful side effects
• ✓ Suitable for all ages - from infants to elderly
• ✓ Treats chronic and acute conditions
• ✓ Strengthens immunity naturally
• ✓ Works alongside conventional medicine

Homoeopathy works by stimulating your body's natural healing power. Unlike conventional medicine that suppresses symptoms, homoeopathy addresses the underlying imbalance causing the disease.

The Process:

1. Detailed Consultation: Dr. Padma takes a comprehensive case history, understanding not just your physical symptoms but also your emotional state, lifestyle, and family history.

2. Personalized Treatment: Based on your unique constitution, a specific homeopathic remedy is prescribed that matches your symptom pattern.

3. Gentle Healing: The highly diluted remedies trigger your body's self-healing mechanism to restore balance naturally.

4. Holistic Approach: Treatment includes lifestyle modifications, dietary guidance, and stress management for complete wellness.

Conditions Successfully Treated:

• Women's Health: PCOD, menstrual irregularities, thyroid issues, menopause symptoms
• Children's Health: Frequent colds, allergies, bronchial asthma, digestive problems

Why Homoeopathy is Safe:

• ✓ Non-Addictive: Unlike some conventional medications, homeopathic remedies are non-habit forming
• ✓ Safe for Everyone: Suitable for pregnant women, nursing mothers, infants, children, and elderly

Yes, homoeopathy can be safely used alongside conventional medicine in most cases. However, it's essential to inform both your homeopathic and allopathic doctors about all medications you're taking.

How to Integrate Both Systems:

• Acute Emergencies: Continue conventional treatment while starting homoeopathy
• Chronic Conditions: Homoeopathy can gradually reduce dependency on conventional medicines
• Preventive Care: Use homoeopathy to boost immunity and prevent recurring illnesses
• Complementary Support: Homoeopathy can help manage side effects of allopathic medicines

Important Guidelines:

1. Always Inform Dr. Padma: Share complete details of your current medications

2. Timing: Maintain a 30-minute gap between homeopathic and allopathic medicines

3. Never Stop Suddenly: Don't discontinue essential medications without consulting your doctor

4. Gradual Transition: As homoeopathy works, conventional medicines may be reduced under medical supervision

Common Scenarios:

• Thyroid Medications: Continue thyroid medicines while starting homoeopathy; gradually reduce as levels stabilize
• BP/Diabetes Medicines: Continue essential medications; homoeopathy supports better management
• Anxiety/Sleep Medications: Homoeopathy can help reduce dependency on sleeping pills and anti-anxiety drugs
