Frequently Asked Questions

  • An explanation of what homeopathy is: https://joettecalabrese.com/what-is-homeopathy/

  • Conventional medicine uses drugs to stop or suppress symptoms, often with terrible side effects, rather than addressing the root cause of the illness.  In Practical Homeopathy® we view symptoms as gifts because they lead us to the proper remedy for the illness.  Homeopathy works to gently stimulate your body’s own healing process and, address the root cause of the illness, with no side effects.  Homeopathy doesn’t stop or supress symptoms.  Symptoms naturally fall away as homeopathy works to restore balance within the body.

  • No, I’m not a physician.*  I’m a certified Practical Homeopath®.  I attended The Academy of Practical Homeopathy® and graduated in 2025.

    *I’m a homeopathic consultant & educator, not a physician. The relationship between me and my clients is not of prescriber and patient, but of educator and client. It is fully the client’s choice whether or not to take advantage of the information I present.

  • No, all you’ll need to purchase are the remedies in your personalized care plan. 

    Remedies are inexpensive, especially when compared to pharmaceutical or over the counter drugs and quality supplements.

  • Yes, homeopathic remedies are regulated in the United States by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which classifies them as drugs under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.

    Regulation is primarily based on the Homeopathic Pharmacopeia of the United States (HPUS), which sets standards for manufacturing, labeling, and the use of specific substances.  Only homeopathic remedies that meet HPUS standards are considered official and can be marketed accordingly.

  • No

  • You can purchase remedies at any reputable homeopathic pharmacy.  We recommend OHM Pharma, Boiron or Helios (located in the UK).  Other reputable pharmacies include Washington Homeopathics, Hylands & Hahnemann Labs.

    We are not affiliates with any of the above pharmacies. We receive NO compensation for these recommendations

  • Here is a tutorial I made showing the process of ordering from Helios, in the UK.

  • Combination remedies are mixtures of two or more homeopathic remedies usually used to address a specific health condition such as cold, flu, allergies, coughs, sore throat, sleep issues etc.

  • Unlike pharmaceuticals, that cover up and suppress symptoms, and often have to be taken for the rest of your life, homeopathic remedies work with the body to gently address the root cause of the problem and are ceased when the condition is very much better.

  • Acute illnesses are often much better or even resolved within hours to several days. 

    Since homeopathy addresses the root cause of the illness and works gently with the body to heal, instead of just covering up symptoms, chronic Illnesses often require more patience and may take longer to improve.  I expect to see some form of improvement within 8-weeks.  This may be of the main symptoms and/or improvement in concomitant (accompanying) symptoms.

  • I use 3 criteria to determine if we are seeing progress.

    1.      Less intensity of the symptoms

    2.      Symptoms last for a shorter period of time

    3.      Symptoms present with larger intervals between episodes

    Progress isn’t always linear, at times, you may take two steps forward and one step back.  We’re looking for a net improvement, even if it’s small, over an 8-week period.
