The Use of Intuition in Homeopathic Clinical Decision Making: An Interpretative Phenomenological Study

Table 3

Types of intuition.

Subtheme	Example
Intuitive perceptions	“I can base some of my questioning … the way that I move into somebody through intuition … having a sense of the individual's own energy. And all of these things come into it, it's not only the words they say but the way their voice is.”
Intuitive hypothesis generation	“You’ll have a set of circumstances, a set of conditions that a person has got, and then all of a sudden you’ll say, and you don’t know why you’re asking it, “have you ever had a head injury?” … and then they’ll say, “oh well I fell off a horse” … and then you think, that's it.”
