Our difference

Some conditions need more than symptom management.
They need a different approach entirely.

For families who have tried everything — and for those who are only just beginning to look — the Crookston International Institute of Homeopathy offers a path that works with the body rather than against it.

A different kind of medicine

Chronic conditions have roots.
Homeopathy looks for them.

Conventional approaches to chronic conditions often focus on managing what is visible — the symptoms, the behaviours, the flare-ups. This brings relief, but rarely resolution. The underlying pattern remains.

Homeopathy works differently. Rather than suppressing what the body is expressing, it asks why the body is expressing it. Each symptom is understood as part of a larger picture — physical, emotional, and mental — and treatment is directed at that picture as a whole.

For children and adults living with chronic conditions, this distinction matters enormously. It is the difference between managing a condition indefinitely and supporting the body to find its way back to balance.

Practitioner
Our method

The Opelka Method.
Precision homeopathy for complex cases.

Most homeopathic practice draws on a limited set of well-known remedies. The Opelka Method goes significantly further.

1

Pillar 01 — A wider remedy repertoire

Where standard homeopathy typically works with a small number of plant-based remedies, the Opelka Method draws on over 150 specialised substances — including salts, iron compounds, kali preparations, and other categories rarely used in conventional practice.

2

Pillar 02 — Targeted combinations

Remedies are not applied individually. They are combined in precisely selected pairs or triplets, chosen to address the specific nature and depth of each patient’s condition.

3

Pillar 03 — Water dilution for whole-person impact

The selected combinations are prepared in water dilutions, enabling them to address not only physical symptoms but the emotional and mental dimensions of the condition simultaneously.

4

Pillar 04 — Sequenced administration

Remedies are administered in a sequence that reflects the chronological progression of the condition — a principle our practitioners consider essential to achieving lasting, meaningful outcomes.

“For many of the families we work with, this is not the first thing they have tried. We understand what it means to still be looking — and we take that trust seriously.”
Our approach

Every case begins with listening.

1

We start with the whole picture

Before any remedy is selected, we build a complete understanding of your case — the history of the condition, its progression over time, and the physical, emotional, and mental patterns that accompany it. Nothing is irrelevant.

2

We prepare your protocol individually

No two patients receive the same treatment. Your remedy protocol is selected, combined, and sequenced specifically for your case, based on everything gathered in your opening consultation.

3

We stay with you through the process

Treatment is not a handover. Your closing consultation gives us the opportunity to review what changed and guide what comes next. For Guided and Specialised patients, support is available throughout the cycle.

Common questions

Everything you need to know.

About Homeopathy

What is homeopathy and how does it work?

Homeopathy is a gentle, natural system of medicine that stimulates the body’s own ability to heal. It works on the principle of supporting balance in the physical, emotional, and mental aspects of a patient, rather than just suppressing symptoms.

How is homeopathy different from conventional medicine?

Unlike conventional medicine, homeopathy focuses on the whole person — body, mind, and spirit — and aims to address the root causes of imbalance rather than just temporary symptoms.

Is homeopathy safe for children?

Yes. Homeopathic remedies are highly diluted, gentle, and safe for children of all ages when administered according to instructions.

Can homeopathy be used alongside other treatments?

Yes. Homeopathy can be used alongside conventional therapies, but it is important to inform your healthcare providers and follow the recommended guidelines.

About the Treatment

What conditions can be treated?

Our treatments support children with chronic conditions — including developmental and behavioural challenges, allergies, skin conditions, and anxiety — as well as adults with longstanding chronic conditions and women’s hormonal health concerns.

How long does each treatment plan last?

Each standard treatment cycle lasts approximately four months, with a structured plan for administration, observation, and follow-up.

What should I do if a dose is missed?

If a dose is missed, simply continue with the next scheduled dose. Avoid doubling up unless specifically instructed by your homeopath.

Reactions and Monitoring

What reactions should I expect during treatment?

Reactions are often mild and indicate that the body is responding. Physical reactions may include tiredness, headaches, or rashes, while emotional reactions can include mood changes, irritability, or vivid dreams.

How do I track and report reactions?

We provide a reaction tracking sheet with every plan. Recording daily observations helps us guide your next treatment step, and your closing consultation is the right time to review everything you have noted.

What should I do if a reaction seems strong or unusual?

Note all details in your reaction log. If you are on the Specialised Programme, contact us directly via chat. For Basic and Guided patients, additional 30-minute consultations are available to purchase.

Delivery and Usage

How is the treatment delivered?

All treatment plans are delivered directly to your home. Your remedies are prepared after your opening Zoom consultation and shipped to your address.

What comes with the treatment package?

Each package includes your full four-month remedy protocol, access to instruction video, a written e-book guide, and a reaction tracking sheet. Guided and Specialised plans include community access; Specialised plans include direct chat support and a mid-treatment Zoom consultation.

How should I store the remedies?

Store in a safe, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once you prepare a dilution, store it in the refrigerator.

Consultations and Support

How does chat support work?

Direct chat support with your homeopath is available exclusively to patients on the Specialised Programme, via WhatsApp. Messages sent Monday to Friday will receive a response within 24 hours. Weekend messages will be answered on the next working day.

What is the private patient community?

Available to Guided and Specialised patients. It is a space where families going through the same treatment process can share experiences, observations, and encouragement. It is peer-led, not a substitute for clinical support.

How do I know when to start the next round?

Your closing consultation is the right time to discuss this. Your homeopath will review your tracked reactions and guide you on whether and when to begin a continuation cycle.

Pricing and General

Can I purchase additional rounds of treatment?

Yes. After completing a treatment cycle, continuation cycles can be purchased. Patients on all plans receive a discount on follow-up cycles — 5% on Basic, 7% on Guided, and 10% on Specialised.

Do you offer discounts for multiple children?

Please contact us directly to discuss special arrangements for families treating more than one child.

How soon can I expect to see results?

Every patient is unique. Some families notice changes within the first weeks, while full effects may take several months and more than one treatment cycle.

Can adults use the same treatments as children?

Yes. While our primary specialism is children with chronic conditions, we treat adults with chronic conditions and women’s hormonal health concerns. All treatment plans are available to adult patients.
