What type of questions is a homeopathic doctor who does acupunture supposed to ask you ?

by Dan on May 26, 2010

I recently got diagnosed with bells palsy and am seeing a acupunturist for treatment, but he asks me very weird questions like personal and my feelings and all that. I understand he is a homeopathic doctor and his way of treatment is not traditional to what is done in hospitals and all but is it normal for him to ask me questions that have nothing to do with my bells palsy ???

the doctor may ask you questions that seem un-related to you but he is just getting a broader picture to know how to treat you.

it depends on the questions he may have been trying to get a better understanding of you but if they were of a sexual nature and you feel they were unnecessay and made you feel uneasy then don’t go back to him and see if he can be reported

Yes, a homeopathic doctor does ask personal questions. They believe in mind over matter. Your emotions do have an affect on your disorders. If one can find an underlying emotional response to a health problem, then balance it, the health problem does not necessarily go away, but it is alleviated in some manner.

I, too, am seeing an acupuncturist because physical therapy just wasn’t helping. I did not believe acupuncture would help, but it did! I am still puzzled by that.
