As healthcare professionals our goal is to help our patients. Sometimes the best way to do that is to refer them to a healthcare professional practicing another discipline. Reasons for this could be:
When conditions are not resolving within an expected period of time
For patients with multiple underlying conditions which are contributing to poor health and therefore to the non-responsiveness to your treatment
That the patient wants a holistic medicine approach
Homeopathy is a great option for many reasons. It can be used as a complimentary medicine, working alongside many other therapies or it can be an alternative. As a complete system of medicine the goal of homeopathic practitioner is to treat the person and get to the root cause of the disease, not to just palliate symptoms. Also it is affordable.
