Estimates for a small start in the UK, not guarantees.

What it is

One-to-one video or phone consultations where you take a detailed case history, recommend homeopathic remedies and arrange follow-ups. Remedies are posted out or bought by the client from a supplier.

Your first three steps

  1. Check your training and consider joining a professional register, such as one accredited by the Professional Standards Authority
  2. Arrange professional indemnity and public liability insurance that covers online consultations
  3. Set up a simple website with a booking page, clear fees and a privacy notice, then offer a few reduced-price first sessions to people you know
Who pays

Adults and parents who want complementary support alongside, not instead of, their usual medical care, often people who live too far from a local practitioner.

How it makes money

A fee for a longer first consultation and a lower fee for follow-ups. Some practitioners add a small mark-up on remedies they supply.
