Frequently Asked Questions
What is homeopathy, really??
Homeopathy is an energetic form of medicine that works with your body’s own healing intelligence — thevital force. It uses microdoses of natural substances to gently nudge your body back into balance rather than forcing or suppressing symptoms. The premise of homeopathy lay on the principle of 'like cures like'.
My best example I can give is thinking of a popular homeopathic remedy Allium Cepa. This is derived from the onion. Now if we think of cutting an onion in the kitchen - what starts happening? Our eyes may water, we may get itching or burning sensations, a runny nose, etc. Now in a sick individual, these symptoms may be what they experience in a bout of hay fever or seasonal allergies. Therefore, Allium Cepa (in this exact case) could be used to stimulate the vital force in healing in the direction it was already headed. Make sense?
How can I start working with you?
For acute cases, we recommend using our acute remedy blend option to get a custom remedy made without an appointment. This is the quickest way for us to get an individualized remedy to you STAT! For chronic conditions for you, a family member or animal, we recommend applying to work 1:1 with Lexie. Apply to work 1:1 here.
How will I be supported after my initial consultation?
We utilize a HIPAA - compliant client portal that has a wonderful chat feature. In there, so long as you are an active client of Lexie's (has had a previous 1:1 consult & has a follow-up scheduled) you can utilize this function to chat at any point in time. Whether you have a question, comment or concern arise during your protocol, this chat feature is always there for you!
What can I expect from a homeopathic consultation?
How are homeopathic remedies made?
Each remedy starts from a natural source — plant, mineral, or animal — and is diluted and potentized through rhythmic shaking (a process of dilution & succussion). The result? The energetic “imprint” of the substance that stimulates healing without side effects or toxicity.
Are homeopathic remedies safe?
Yes! They’re non-toxic, gentle, and safe for all ages — even pets, pregnant women, and those on medications. They don’t interact with pharmaceuticals, and they work with the body rather than against it.
How long does it take to see results?
It depends on the person and the condition. For acute ailments (like a cold, headache, or injury), you may notice shifts within hours or days. For deeper, chronic patterns, it’s more of a journey — gradual, sustainable, and deeply restorative. It's important to recognize the years of accumulation leading to chronic conditions and to have grace with yourself (and your homeopathic practitioner) in the journey of unraveling the many layers.
It's important to note homeopathy is not "one-and-done". Although we sometimes see miracle cases where one constitutional remedy really strikes a chord in an individual & leads to profound results, we more often find that the healing process involves many layers, integration & addressing of multiple facets of the human or animal.
What's the difference between acute and constitutional remedies?
Acute remediessupport short-term issues — think flu, food poisoning, injuries, or emotional shock. I like to say go acute for the urgent issues the things that have only been an issue in the last couple weeks max.
Constitutional remedies address the root of long-term patterns — your overall constitution, mental state, and life history. If your symptoms are chronic and have been lingering for more than a few weeks, it's appropriate to apply to work 1:1 for chronic condition.
I offer both: custom acute blends and in-depth 1:1 care.
Do you make remedies for animals?
Yes! I work with pets and livestock too. From anxiety in dogs to mastitis in dairy cows — the same energetic principles apply beautifully to animals.
What if I’m skeptical?
Totally fair. I love skeptics — they ask great questions. Homeopathy has over 200 years of case studies and growing modern research. The best “proof”? Experiencing the shift for yourself.
What makes Haren Holistics different?
At Haren Holistics, we blend science, intuition, and real-life practicality. We help people reconnect to their vitality with the support of homeopathy.
