Bluebell Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 Although I have been in France a while I still get my homeopathic remedies from UK. Are there general practitioners here that provide such remedies? Any information much appreciated.BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperlola Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 My own gp's husband is a homeopathic doctor. He appears to be sanctioned by the state and I get the impression that it's more acceptable here but as it's not something I know a lot about I can't comment further - it's just an impression.

Clair Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 I get mine from the pharmacy, without going to a practitioner, but I have been using homoeopathic products fro a very long time and I know what I want to use.They order whatever isn't in stock and I have no problem getting hold of anything.

Gardengirl Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 I also buy at local pharmacies when I need supplies. There seem to be homeopathic pharmacies in France, which I've not seen anywhere else. Local doctors have also prescribed homeopathic supplies when necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluebell Posted August 8, 2010 Author Share Posted August 8, 2010 Many thanks for your replies. I shall have a chat with my local pharmacist about availability of my current remedy (poison ivy) for arthritis and put out some feelers for a GP who offers homeopathic services (in particular I am looking for acupuncture).BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clair Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 Homeopathy and acupuncture are very different treatments, even if they are often used together.In France, acupuncture can only be practised by a doctor.Consultation costs vary and are reimbursed as a visit to a GP, (if the practitioner is conventionné) so you must ensure your mutuelle can cover the balance adequately.You can find a practitioner here: http://www.acupuncteur.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judith Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 I brought all my remedies with me, and so far, have not needed to replace any, but the time will surely come.....So, could one of you knowledgeable people on here give me a guide to the strengths in France for homeopathic remedies. I know what 6, 30 etc mean in the UK, but they don't seem to use the same nomenclature here.Can any one assist??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clair Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 [quote user="Judith"]I know what 6, 30 etc mean in the UK, but they don't seem to use the same nomenclature here.Can any one assist???[/quote]You'll find homoeopathic remedies are labelled with a CH number.This refers to centésimale hahnemannienne (Samuel Hanneman is the founder/discoverer/creator of homeopathy).A CH 2 dilution is obtained by mixing 1 ml of base tincture with 99 ml of alcohol. This dilution, mixed again on a 1 to 99, will dilute CH 2, and so on up to 30 CH.More details: http://www.hmedicine.com/homeopathy/information/remedy_guide/dilutions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judith Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 Clair Thanks, but that didn't quite cut the mustard - I do know all about SH and his potencies, but I was looking for a direct conversion - and this whilst explaining it, didn't give me the direct comparison I know I've seen somehwhere... no matter, I'll keep looking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
