Homeopathic Remedies and How Best To Use Them

Guidance on how to care for and ingest homeopathic remedies

Homeopathic remedies are sensitive and require special handling and ingestion to achieve best results. The following guidance will provide the information you need to care for and take your medication.

Do not touch the tablets but instead shake them out on to the lid of the bottle or a clean metal spoon and then tip them in to your mouth. If you use the lid of the bottle then make sure that you don’t touch the inside of the lid or breathe on it.

Put 1 or 2 tablets under your tongue and allow them to dissolve. Do not take anything strong tasting, such as tea or coffee, before taking the tablets or for about half an hour after they have dissolved (if possible).

If you should get more tablets falling out of the bottle than you need then tip the tablets into your mouth and then remove the unwanted ones and throw them away. Do not put the excess tablets back into the bottle lest you contaminate the remainder.

When using the 6c tablets then try to take 2 tablets 4 times a day but, if you are unable to do so, try and be consistent and take 2 tablets 3 times a day for a slightly longer period (say 8 days instead of 7 days) or until the symptoms start to subside.

When using the 30c tablets and above (high potency tablets) take just 1 or 2 tablets at a time until the symptoms start to subside (sometimes just one tablet is sufficient). You can still take the 30c tablets every few hours until the symptoms start to subside as there is no chance of an overdose. The higher potency tablets are used mainly for 'first aid' or when the symptoms are severe and should not be used as a continuous course of treatment without your practitioners’ instructions.

As a rule of thumb, the longer you have had the symptoms, the longer you will need to take the tablets before you notice a change.

REMEMBER! If your condition improves then stop taking the tablets and let your body do the rest. You can always start taking the tablets again should your condition worsen but if you take the tablets for too long you may cause the symptoms to return again.
