Due to the ongoing research in homeopathy there are now over two thousand remedies available for use. It is important that the remedy picture matches the symptoms of the patients as closely as possible on every level, physically, mentally and emotionally.

This requires first of all a very careful interview process with the patients in which every aspect of the patient's current symptoms is explored in great detail. For example, a patient suffering from asthma may experience worsening of symptoms at a certain time of day or night, be better or worse in a certain position or from certain foods etc. Additional information is gathered about the energy level, sleep, dreams, digestion, food preferences and the personality of the patients.

Much attention is paid to any traumatic experiences the patient may have suffered in his or her life, which may be linked to the onset of the present health complaints. Homeopathic remedies are selected with all of these factors in mind, for example, a child who develops panic attacks after having been lost in the woods camping may require a remedy which is used for ailments arising after an intense fright.
