I practice classical homeopathy. I have had an opportunity to study extensively with Dr. Sankaran and others from the Mumbai group and hence incorporate Dr. Sankarans renowned 'The Sensation Method' in my practice. 

Practicing homeopathy is not a mere routine practice but a sheer joy and pleasure to see this great science render deep healing and transform lives of people.

We are here to help you get well. In order to do that, we depend on your co-operation. If we are to make a successful prescription, we must know all the details of your sickness. We must also understand all the features that belong to you as an individual. This includes your reactions to various factors, your past and family history and your mental make up. 

This information enables us to select the remedy that removes your sickness. The remedy also makes you well as a whole person. 

To begin with first you need to fill the new case form. You need to fill this in the fullest possible detail. Then on the scheduled appointment we go through the interview process.

In order to find out all about you, we shall be asking you many questions. Each one of these questions has a definite meaning and significance for us. Even something that you may think is not connected with your trouble may be the most important factor in deciding the correct homeopathic remedy. That is why we ask you to be free and frank and give us the fullest possible information on each point. We may ask you the same questions again and again. This does not mean that your answers are not clear, or that we did not understand them. We found that by asking some questions repeatedly we are able to get a clearer perception of what your inner experience is, and this is vital to find a good remedy for you. 

For future reference new cases and follow ups are video recorded with the patients consent. 

Taking cases over the phone and through Skype sessions

Homeopathic consultation focuses solely on the description of the symptoms.  Capturing the uniqueness of the patient's individual expression is essential for a homeopath to select a proper treatment.

Over the course of my homeopathic career, a substantial number of cases were taken and successfully treated over the phone or by web conference, even though I never had the opportunity to meet my patients personally.

In this regard, I want to reassure you that whether you take time to travel to San Jose to see me or we converse over the phone or Skype, the quality of your treatment will be the same.

What is Homeopathy?Homeopathy is a gentle and safe way of healing which aims to stimulate the body's natural response. In Homeopathy, a key premise is that every person has energy called a Vital Force or Self-Healing Response. When this energy is disturbed, health problems develop.What are the physical, mental and emotional aspects of Homeopathy?

Homeopathy is based on the philosophy that the body, mind and emotions are not really separate and distinct, but are actually fully integrated. A homeopath seeks a remedy that fits all of physical and psychological symptoms. 

What are the three levels of Homeopathic therapy?

Level 1: First Aid 
Homeopathy can be used in first aid to safely treat common ailments and occurrences, such as sprains and bruises, skin irritations, teething pain, etc.

Level 2: Homeopathy in Acute Conditions: 
Acute health problems are temporary conditions, such as colds, flu, coughs, sprains, etc. A homeopathic remedy can be useful because it is safe, gentle and has no harmful side effects. Homeopathy can also be used to assist sensitive conditions such as pregnancy and very safe for infants and children.

Level 3: Constitutional Homeopathy 
Constitutional homeopathy refers to taking care of a person as a whole, including past and present symptoms. Homeopathy can be extremely effective in chronic and long-term health problems.  Homeopathic remedy strengthens the body’s immune system and helps prevent future occurrences.

What is the relationship between symptoms and Homeopathy?

Symptoms are the language of a disease, the body’s attempt to balance itself.  Did you know that a fever is the body’s attempt to activate the immune system’s white blood cells and defend itself from infection? If a person is given a symptom-suppressing medication, fighting the fever too soon, they will be less able to fight the actual infection.

Homeopathy does not seek to remove or suppress symptoms. Its goal is to recognize and remove the underlying cause of these symptoms.

How can the correct Homeopathic remedy be found?

Finding the appropriate homeopathic remedy depends upon gaining a complete understanding of the whole person. This means that the homeopath must take note of the physical, mental and emotional levels of each person before deciding on a correct remedy.

Homeopathic remedies have been described as "designer medicines." While this might seem like a trendy view of homeopathy, it is true that remedies are specially "designed" for individuals based upon their unique, and sometimes complex, state of being.It is important to recognize that, in addition to the person’s physical symptoms, there are underlying psychological and emotional aspects as well.

The Homeopathic treatment 

The goal of the homeopathic treatment is to encourage the body to return to a natural state of balance and health. Like the missing pieces of a puzzle, homeopathic remedies help "fill-in" the gaps in the body to stimulate a person’s own healing potential and energies.

Today there are a rapidly growing number of conventional medical doctors using homeopathic medicines. Moreover, in many European countries and in India there is a growing trend of medical doctors referring patients to homeopaths.

What is the patient's role?

Open Communication & Observation 
While it is the homeopath’s job to elicit relevant information by asking probing questions, the patient can expect a higher chance of receiving an effective homeopathic remedy if he or she is open and truthful in describing their physical and psychological symptoms. It is also important to be observant of the changes taking place in your system.

What you will experience when you receive the correct remedy can include the disappearance of specific symptoms, more energy, stronger immune system functions, and a sense of increased well-being. Homeopathic treatments have rapid and far-reaching effects. Even if the changes require time to develop, they usually are long-lasting.
