ABOUT KARUNA HEALTH CARE
Successful treatment of health problems requires discovering the underlying cause(s).
For example, a child may have repeated ear, nose or throat infections due to allergies, poor immunity, ornutritional deficiency. A person with Irritable Bowel Syndrome may have poor gut flora, parasites, or heavy metal toxicity. A Chronic Fatigue sufferer may have heavy metal toxicity, post viral syndrome, or other yet undiscovered causes. An autistic child may have one or more underlying causes of their condition that affects their mental function.
At Karuna Health Care, we use a step-by-step process of looking for the cause or causes of a health problem. Once a cause or causes are found, the treatment path is clearer and more effective.
We use a Four Step process that is applicable to health problems like Autism, ADHD, Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and other ongoing, unresponsive conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions about Treatment don’t cover your queries, please contact us for further information.

CONSULTATIONS
Acute Infections
Ear nose and throat infections, coughs, colds, the flu, respond well to homeopathic medicines. Acute consultations take approximately 30 minutes. If you repeatedly get infections, you can have treatment to improve your general health.
Ongoing Health Problems
If you are reading this, then your health problem has probably not responded well to usual medical health care. This means that some real detective work is needed, so your first consultation will take one to one and a half hours, when your symptoms are carefully analysed. You then receive step by step treatment, starting with identifying any problems that are preventing your recovery. Treatments include nutritional therapy and individualised homeopathic medicine. Follow up consultations are generally scheduled at monthly intervals and last for half an hour to one hour .
Distance Consultations
If you are unable to attend one of our clinics, you can arrange a distance consultation. You can see all the details on how to go about this on our website.
