    Home / FAQ

    Homeopathy is a system of medicine that uses highly diluted natural substances to stimulate the body’s own healing response. Instead of only suppressing symptoms, it treats the person as a whole, aiming at the root cause so relief lasts longer.

    Yes. Homeopathic remedies are prescribed in minimal doses and are generally gentle enough for infants, children, pregnant women and elderly patients when guided by a qualified BHMS physician like our doctors at Al-Shifa Homeo Care.

    It depends on whether the condition is acute or chronic. Acute issues like colds or allergies often respond within a few days, while chronic conditions such as PCOS, thyroid or arthritis are treated gradually over several follow-up visits.

    In most cases, yes. Please inform Dr. Sanam Mohammed or Dr. Shala Sherin about all medicines you are currently taking during your consultation so they can plan safe, complementary treatment.

    Yes, our doctors regularly manage chronic conditions including PCOS, thyroid imbalance, arthritis, migraines and lifestyle disorders through individualised, long-term treatment plans.

    Dr. Sanam Mohammed consults at Kunnumpuram from 10 AM to 1 PM and at Pappinisseri from 3 PM to 5 PM. Dr. Shala Sherin consults at Pappinisseri from 10 AM to 1 PM. Please call ahead to confirm current Keecheri branch timing.
