How to use homeopathic remedies.

Choose a remedy that most closely matches your symptoms.

It's best to consult a qualified homeopath to determine the remedy most suited to you for any given complaint and the best dosage. The most common over-the-counter dosages are 6C or 30C, but stronger remedies can be prescribed by practitioners.

Remedies may be taken in pill, powder, granule or liquid tincture form or as ointments or creams. The most common form is tablets or tiny pills made from a lactose base. In case of lactose intolerance, those with a sucrose base can be obtained.

It's best to take the remedy 20 minutes before or after food. They shouldn't be handled; instead, drop directly into the mouth and allow to dissolve under the tongue.

Avoid any strong tastes or smells that could interfere with the remedy's effect. Stop consumption of coffee and mint (including mint toothpastes) and anything containing menthol or eucalyptus, for example. Store the remedy in a cool, dry, dark place away from perfumes of chemicals.

In order to get the best possible results, you should also be aware of the following points:

* If you don't get a positive result it's possible you've chosen the wrong remedy.
* You should decrease intake of the remedy as symptoms improve and stop it once symptoms are cleared.
* Homeopathic remedies are safe for babies, children and expectant mothers (but get professional advice if you're pregnant).
* Never transfer the remedies from one container to another, or recycle containers.
* Don't touch the remedies - the heat from your body can destroy their healing properties.
* Don't swallow with a drink.

Side effects are rare, but occasionally symptoms worsen before they get better. This is a recognised effect known as the 'healing crisis' and should last no longer than a day or so. If symptoms persist, seek professional advice.

We may not know in advance what our symtoms will be. Is there anything we can have on hand that will help? Most of us have little experience with homeopathy but are looking for things that will allow us to be self reliant, safe for children, inexpensive and available. I am an RN, and will be sharing whatever info you can provide.

Thanks,

If you repeat a remedy before you need to, it can have the effect of cancelling out the previous dose. The way around that is to every so slightly increase the potency between doses. You do this by taking it as a wet dose. The first dose can be pills, but then switch to a wet dose.

Take a small bottle of spring water (no minerals or other additives in it). Pour out about 1/4 or more. Add 2 or 3 pills (it isn't necessary for them to dissolve before you take a dose, by the way). Agitate vigorously by holding in one hand and pounding into your other palm 40 times. Before all subsequent doses repeat the pounding at least 10 times. A dose is a mere sip, like a teaspoons worth. Keep the bottle away from strong light and heat. In the frig between doses is a good plan. If the bottle runs low, add more water but do NOT add any more pills (you'll weaken the strength if you do that).

Welcome Blue.

Thank you Brooks very much for that very important information.
