Consequential Therapy

What is consequential therapy?
Consequential therapy is a systematic approach to healing mental, emotional and physical traumas. Microdoses of homeopathic remedies are given to encourage the body to heal. Made of natural substances from the vegetable (herbal), animal and mineral kingdoms, these remedies have been used for over 200 years without any side effects or toxicity.

How is it different from classical homeopathy?
In order to move towards health, past issues must be resolved. A client's timeline of past traumas provides the practitioner with a tool to more precisely select a homeopathic treatment. A multiple number of homeopathic remedies may be given at the same time for multiple traumas in consequential therapy, whereas classical homeopathy only uses a single remedy.

What does my consultant need to know?
In your initial interview you will be asked questions about your general health. Be sure to tell your consultant about any weak organs, medications you are taking and any specific health concerns.  You will not be asked or encouraged to discontinue allopathic medications without consulting your physician.

How do I develop my personal time line?
Your consultant will give you a worksheet to aid you. (See the sample timeline on this site.)  Include such things as accidents, surgeries and emotional losses or traumas. Include approximate dates and how you felt when they happened. Together you and your consultant will fine-tune the timeline as you progress in your treatment.

What if I miss something on my timeline? Or what if I can't remember something?
Don't worry. Progress will be at your pace. Your body will remember, even if you don't, since traumas aren't merely mental, but are also rooted in physical manifestations.

Why am I not healing faster?
It took a lifetime to acquire these traumas. Be patient and allow the body to heal at its own pace. There are no quick fixes in true healthcare.  Allow a full month to clear each trauma on your timeline. 

Can I do my consults by phone?
Phone consultations have been done many times; however, it is more accurate to find a remedy for someone physically present than it is to choose a remedy over the phone. It is preferable that a client come into the office whenever possible, at least for the initial interview.

Do my children need to be present for you to treat them?
It's best to see them personally, even when they are on their worst behavior! Children usually like coming to HealthWorks since they don't have to be touched, poked or stuck.

Do I really need to contact my practitioner every month?
This depends on your commitment to your healing process. Many clients find if they wait too long between visits or follow-up calls they tend to lose energy and focus. It is very important to follow what works for each individual.  Occasionally, a client may need to be seen more often for an acute illness. 

What can I expect after I take my consequential therapy remedy?
Most timeline trauma remedies take about ten to fourteen days to act. At this point, you will experience a healing response. Often, clients report fatigue and emotional outbursts. This is normal, but if you are not comfortable, call your consultant. Other responses may include achy joints and rashes. These usually disappear quickly, within twenty-four hours or less.  All of this is a sign the remedies are working.

What about antidoting consequential therapy?
Consequential therapy does not appear to be easily antidoted (or its action reversed) except by other forms of energy medicine. If you are considering acupuncture, bodywork or use of other homeopathic remedies, please inform your consultant, since these do affect healing.

Can I take homeopathic remedies for an acute illness or injury while doing consequential therapy?
Naturally, if you are injured, you may take Arnica or Hypericum. However, if you experience an acute illness, such as a cold or the flu, it is more likely to be a reaction to the remedy. If you have questions, call your consultant. Short calls are billed at $10-30, plus a charge for any remedies sent.

Is consequential therapy expensive?
The initial consultation is $150; the following visits, by phone or in the office, are $60. Remedy costs are additional. HealthWorks does not accept insurance reimbursements.

How long is allowed for a consultation?
Your first consultation, during which your homeopath will get to know you, is generally one to one-and-a-half hours long. Follow-up visits are a half hour.

How often do I see my consultant for consequential therapy?
Every four weeks--or longer if you are feeling great! This is your commitment to the healing process. If you choose to complete your timeline, it may take up to three years (one trauma per month plus time to clear inherited weaknesses). Your consultant is available by phone or appointment between visits for any questions you may have.
