Dr. Saurav Arora

Homeopathy

You should only taper off allopathic medicines in consultation with your treating physician.Please note that in majority of the cases, the specific medicines/patents/combinations might give you temporary relief only. Also the online consultation intends to provide the second opinion only, and at no point can replace the in-person consultation by a physician. In case you find no relief with medicines taken it is advised to visit a homeopathic doctor and take treatment under supervision. In homeopathy symptoms, history and examination is very important. In majority of cases, after a long case taking and case workout, we try to select a constitutional remedy which is used to treat the disease from its root cause. Taking a constitutional treatment shall also take care the reoccurrence of disease.
