Frequently Asked Questions

what is Homeopathy?

Homeopathy is a form of natural medicine that works by using highly diluted substances to stimulate your body’s self-healing abilities. The remedies are carefully selected to match your unique physical, emotional, and mental state, addressing the root causes of imbalance rather than just treating symptoms. It is based on the principle of “like cures like,” where a substance that causes symptoms in a healthy person can help cure similar symptoms in an ill person.

how does Homeopathy work?

While the full mechanism of how homeopathy works is still being studied, current theories suggest that it might involve the formation of nanoparticles that interact with your body’s cells, influencing cellular communication and signaling. This subtle interaction helps restore balance to the body by promoting healing from the inside out, stimulating your body’s innate ability to heal and function optimally.

Yes, Dr Silver has extensive experience working with children who face complex challenges like OCD, PANS/PANDAS, ADHD, and autism. Homeopathy can be especially effective for children, as it addresses the underlying imbalances contributing to behavioral and emotional difficulties. Whether you’re looking for support with focus, anxiety, or emotional regulation, Dr Silver tailors treatments to each child’s unique needs and challenges, helping them find balance without relying on harsh medications.

What can I expect during the first session?

During the first session, you and Dr Silver will spend around 90 minutes together. This is a time for you to explore your or your child's health history, emotional well-being, and any specific concerns or challenges you're facing. Based on this conversation, Dr Silver will recommend a personalized homeopathic remedy that is tailored to you or your child's individual constitution, with the goal of helping restore balance and begin your healing process.

how Many sessions will I need?

The number of sessions depends on your individual needs. For chronic conditions, it can take some time to see significant changes, as we are addressing deep-rooted imbalances. For more acute issues, you may experience quicker relief. Typically, after the initial session, follow-ups are spaced about 4-6 weeks apart, depending on you or your child's progress and the remedy's effectiveness. Treatment will always be adjusted as necessary, based on how you're feeling.

can Homeopathy be used alongside other treatments or medications?

Absolutely. Homeopathy works wonderfully alongside other treatments and medications. It doesn’t interfere with conventional therapies but rather complements them, enhancing the body’s natural ability to heal. If you or your child are currently on medications or undergoing other treatments, homeopathic remedies can be used to support overall wellness and balance. Dr Silver recommends you continue working with your primary care provider while using homeopathy as a supportive tool in your healing process.

how soon will I see iMprovements?

The timeline for healing can vary, but many people notice improvements in their well-being within a few weeks. For acute conditions, you may feel better more quickly, whereas chronic conditions often take longer to see significant results. It’s important to remember that healing is a process, and while it can be gradual, the effects are often long-lasting.
