What are the advantages of long-distance treatment?

• Access to a professional homeopath from anywhere in the world: suitable for those living where there are no reputable practitioners, and for frequent travellers.
• Many patients find it easier to open up when in their own comfort zone rather than in the physical presence of the practitioner
• Convenience: long-term compliance with appointments is enhanced by flexibility with regard to time and location.
• Long-term therapeutic relationship can be maintained even following a move to a new geographical location.
• Privacy: no undesirable waiting-room encounters.

Are there disadvantages to online homeopathic treatment?

• For treatment to succeed the patient (or caregiver in case the patient is a small child) must be able to describe his or her complaints verbally<'li> 
• A minority of patients may find it difficult to maintain a therapeutic relationship with a practitioner they have never met.
• Although physical contact is not needed for proper homeopathic diagnosis, some cues may not be available to the homeopath, theoretically making diagnosis more difficult.
• In practice, however, I find my success rate with long-distance patients at least as high as that with local patients.
