How to identify best homeopathic doctors for you?
By Dr Rajesh Shah, MD(Hom)
Director: Life Force Center, Mumbai.
(Introduction: Dr Shah heads a Life Force at Mumbai, one of the largest homeopathic clinics.)
All across the world, there is a greater demand for homeopathic doctors than ever before; as a result of increased awareness about homeopathy. The question arises: How to identify best possible homeopathic doctor? As homeopathic doctors all over the places are not equally trained, you will have to hunt for the suitable homeopath for you. The Internet throws a large number of homeopathic doctors across the screen; however, it is not very easy to identify one who is suitable for your needs, for your ailment.
Let me give some thoughts on ‘how to identify best homeopathic doctors’ based on my (Dr Shah) active experience in the field of homeopathy for almost 30 years, at my clinics in Mumbai, India. At Life Force, Mumbai, we have undergone the process of evolving a professional homeopathic clinic; which has become a landmark in the field of homeopathy.
I suggest seeing following aspects in a good homeopathic doctor or a homeopath.
1. Medical qualification and medical exposure of the homeopathic doctor
2. Experience relevant to the disease you are seeking help
3. Professionalism
4. Accessibility of services
Let me tell you that all homeopathic doctors globally are not the same in terms of qualification and proficiency; just like in any other profession. In Mumbai, for example, there are over 20,000 homeopaths of different qualifications and levels.
1. Medical qualification and medical exposure
The homeopathic education system varies from country to country. So as the homeopathic doctors. Only in some countries, homeopaths are conventionally trained medical doctors. For example Austria, India, Australia, South Africa, etc. In the UK and USA, some of the homeopaths are medically qualified, while most others are medically un-qualified.
It is important that your homeopathic doctor has medical exposure and training. Your homeopath should be able to read, understand medical reports and apply that knowledge in prescribing for your disease.
2. Experience relevant to the disease you are seeking help:
It you are getting treated for, say Atopic Dermatitis or Ulcerative colitis or IBS, it is important that your homeopathic doctor has relevant experience in handling patients with the same disease. Depending on the disease, your homeopath should have undertaken treatment of at least 50 common disease (like child asthma, migraines, urticaria, etc). For uncommon diseases life like Psoriasis, Psoriatic arthritis, Autism, etc.) one should have experience with at least 20 patients. And at least five rare diseases (Pulmonary Fibrosis, Systemic Lupus, Chalazion, etc.) in order that he can treat you successfully.
3. Professionalism:
In big cities like New York, London, Mumbai, Dubai, etc., it is not expected from homeopathic doctors to have professional set up. Your homeopathic doctor should ideally have a professional set up, a well-staffed clinic and infrastructure and professionals method of handling your case over the period of time.
4. Accessibility of services:
Homeopathic treatment for chronic disease may take time. During the entire course of treatment, it is important that your homeopathic doctor or his associate is available to you through personal visits, phone, email, video conferencing, etc. Use of technology should be a part of communication.
It is important for your homeopathic doctor to offer you a professional Patient Support System for easy communication. Interestingly, at Life Force, Mumbai, we have exclusive Patient Support System, allowing our patients from all over the world to remain connected to us throughout life.
