Question 1

What is homeopathy and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

Is homeopathic treatment safe for children and infants?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 3

How many sittings will I need to see results?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 4

Can I continue my current allopathic medicines along with homeopathy?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 5

Do you treat chronic conditions like PCOS, thyroid disorders and arthritis?
