A different way. Another option.<\/p><hr data-start=\"1187\" data-end=\"1190\" \/><h3 data-start=\"1192\" data-end=\"1228\">What is homeopathic treatment?<\/h3><p data-start=\"1229\" data-end=\"1389\">During your <strong data-start=\"1241\" data-end=\"1279\">initial consultation (case taking)<\/strong> I get to know you, your complaints, and your reactions, as well as aspects of your personal life as needed.<\/p><ul data-start=\"1390\" data-end=\"1860\"><li data-start=\"1390\" data-end=\"1531\"><p data-start=\"1392\" data-end=\"1531\">After the consultation, I conduct an <strong data-start=\"1429\" data-end=\"1441\">analysis<\/strong> \u2014 this may take hours or days.
