How soon can I expect to feel better?
This depends on whether the illness is acute (injury, flu, infection, etc.) or chronic (arthritis, heart disease, auto-immune, etc.).  Acute illness tends to be self limiting and you may notice an improvement quickly.  On the other hand, chronic illness has taken several years to develop and can therefore take longer to heal.  Nevertheless, persons often feel improvement shortly after beginning Homeopathic treatment.


Is Homeopathy covered by my insurance company?
As of April 2015, Homeopathy became regulated. Therefore, Homeopaths must be registered with the College of Homeopaths of Ontario, in order to continue practicing homeopathy and call themselves a Homeopath. This regulation will legitimize Homeopathy and compel more insurance companies to offer coverage; ask your provider.
