There is an opinion that homeopathic treatment should be long and need to have a certain patience to wait for the long-awaited effect. Is it so? Far from always homeopath unambiguously can answer such a question.

What means "cure"?
To begin with, they will answer the simple, it would seem, the question is what a cure. Is it possible to call the removal of the disturbing symptom, say, headaches or premenstrual disorders? Lack of headache for, say, couples months, says that she is really cured? However, when headaches are resumed after 3-4 months, and then - after 3 months, and then - after 2 months, the medicine perfectly helps every time, but a symptom after some time resumes, then the question arises - whether it was cure. And than such a cure is different, in fact, from the admission of analgin or other painkillers.
By and large - no different. Homeopathy can be divided into medical and symptomatic. The symptomatic approach to understand extremely simple - there is a symptom - there is a removable drug. This approach, the compliance approach of the medication of the disease, fully corresponds to the usual medical approach, as well as the usual expectations of many patients. And although with this approach, homeopathic drugs are used - this approach is not homeopathic.
The process of homeopathic treatment.
For a homeopathian doctor, those symptoms with which the patient addressed is only a vertex of huge iceberg, iceberg of chronic disease. This disease has developed for many years, and sometimes decades, manifesting themselves in colds or headaches, in the states of insomnia or apathy, in the attacks of appendicitis or kidney colic. Homeopaths are known that chronic disease can only develop and progress and, without competent treatment, alas, never turns back. It always develops according to certain patterns, passes through certain stages, well-known in homeopathy and steadily progresses until the body leads to the premature finals.
The goal of homeopathic treatment is to conduct a body according to the same steps that its chronic state developed, in the opposite direction. Depending on the safety and features of the body, this transition can take more or less time, and be more or less painful. Indeed, in the treatment process, quite old and unpleasant symptoms may be resumed to some extent, from which the patient seemed to have gone many years ago. Headache or cutting when urinating, periods of insomnia, or attacks of irritation, aggravation of skin diseases or tightening cough.
For the treatment of chronic disease requires 12 months.
The path to recovery is often difficult and a thorny, and requires much, both from the doctor and from the patient. And now - about the timing of homeopathic treatment. It can be said that a certain relief of the patient may experience already during the first hours, and sometimes even seconds after receiving a homeopathic drug, the seraction itself can only be achieved by the expiration of many months, and sometimes years. The founder of homeopathy S. Ganeman said that a patient with a chronic disease should be promised to recovery no earlier than for 1.5-2 years. Sometimes the following pattern is noted - the duration of treatment in months corresponds to the duration of the existence of the disease in the years. That is, if the disease has evolved for 12 years, then for its cure may be needed at least a year (for adults).
The doctor is not exactly enough to choose the first medicine, it is only the first step towards recovery, then it is necessary to very accurately assess the reactions of the body, and the subsequent treatment is most gently, if possible, quickly and most painlessly for the patient. At the same time, completely avoiding exacerbations, as a rule, fails. Figuratively speaking, patient on the way home, to health, have to deal with a painful past. And not always this collision will be light and painless. Doctor's debt - if possible, explain to the patient what is happening and try to mitigate possible exacerbations as much as possible. The role of the patient is an understanding of what is happening, patience and confidence in the chosen treatment method and the chosen doctor, a clear compliance with the recommendations of the attending physician.
Examples from homeopathic practice.
We give a few specific examples. How will homeopath be treated, say, adenoids in a child. Improvements of nasal respiration, as a rule, can be achieved during the first 2 months, however, to prevent recurrences, it is necessary at least 3-4 months of treatment. At the same time, not only adenoid vegetation is treated, which is confirmed by the inspection of the ENT - specialist and radiographic images, but also the predisposition itself, which led to the growing of vegetation. As a result, the problem itself, which led the patient for reception, is not only allowed, but also the soil of its occurrence.
Another example. Chronic insomnia. Situation is more difficult. Often a long-term insomnia testifies to a fairly deep chronic condition, the presence of strong sleeping drugs allows for many years to very effectively suppress the problem. In this case, if the patient is solved to apply homeopathic treatment, it comes to a serious dilemma, he has to cancel all sleeping pills, overwhelming and soothing drugs to which he is used for many years. Otherwise, homeopathic medicine will not be able to act properly.
To restore a normal healthy sleep, whom the patient no longer knew for many years, he may have to endure a certain period of insomnia, while the body under the action of homeopathic drugs will not be able to return to normal functioning. And if it is quite obvious to homeopath that it is not only about a natural healthy dream, but also about 5 or 10 years of full healthy life, which can be obtained using a course of treatment, then for the patient, the situation often looks like a month of trouble and sleepless nights in return reliable sleep securely provided by chemicals.
If the patient has a patient and understanding, and the homeopath of professionalism and the gift of convictions, the condition of the body changes so much that a person, by his state, returns at the time and at that age, where he had no insomnia. In a similar case, a distinct improvement of the state may occur no earlier than in a month, however, for a reliable permission of the problem, a homeopath may be needed at least a year.
Let's try to summarize. Homeopath considers any complaint, any illness and any suffering of a person in the context of the whole organism. And the professional duty of homeopath is the most mild elimination of disturbing patient symptoms only in aggregate with the general improvement in the body's condition. The elimination of disturbing symptoms at the cost of suppressing the body is actually easily achievable and arranged no informed patient, completely contradicts homeopathic approach and homeopathic ethics.
