How does one do a proper physical examination over the phone?

homeopaths don't do physical exams in the medical sense. they would ask all sorts of questions like "what makes it better?" "what color is your snot?" "what flavor is your snot?" etc. but i agree - i only take on telehelath clients in very special circumstances, and very reluctantly. health care should depend on local resources and be delivered in-person; sadly, people with chronic conditions (most of my own clientele) need a lot of non-local support (generally in the form of nutraceuticals).

I've never heard homeopathy couched as psychotherapy.

My homeopath of 40 years has never done a consult with me that took less than 1.5 hours. It's not 'psychotherapy', it's the recognition that our personal terrain (physical/emotional circumstances), our attitude and state of mind and our bodies are all interlinked.

Psychotherapy is based on one's "personal terrain (physical/emotional circumstances), our attitude and state of mind (because) our bodies are all interlinked."
