What Is A Remedy?

A homeopathic remedy is an all-natural system of therapeutics. It is a stimulus for the body that causes a healing response. Homeopathic remedies are completely safe, there are no side effects, remedies are non-addictive and are safe for all ages.

They are made from natural substances sourced predominantly from plant, animal, fungi and mineral sources. They are prepared according to international standards of homeopathic pharmacopeia. They are different from vitamin and mineral supplements or herbal preparations. Homeopathic remedies are potentized through a series of succussions and dilutions and these micro-doses act in a gentle and permanent way to restore health. 

One dose of a homeopathic remedy usually consists of two drops of liquid or two pellets (unless otherwise stated on your instructions from your homeopath) to be taken under the tongue. 

Basic Guidelines:

• The mouth should be clean; that is, the mouth should be free of food, mints, gum, drink, etc.
• Please take your remedy away from food, at least 20 minutes before, or 20 minutes after any food or beverage is consumed.
• In sensitive patients, homeopathic remedies can sometimes be antidoted by coffee and other strong stimulants and odours in the air such as mint, menthol, tiger balm, essential oils, perfumes, etc. If you use aromatherapy at home, please open your remedy bottle in a separate room far away from the aromatic odours.

How To Decide What Potency To Use

• Use a 6C potency when the symptoms are mild, the person is very sensitive (emotionally sensitive, allergies, skin issues like eczema) or if you are unsure of the match between the remedy’s symptom picture and the person’s symptoms.

• Use a 30C potency when the symptoms are more clear or stronger, if you are sure there is a strong match between the remedy’s symptom picture and the person’s symptoms.

• Use a 200C potency when the symptoms are strong and the remedy’s symptom picture matches the person’s symptoms.

Please do not ever put your health at risk! If you have a health emergency, please go to your medical doctor or nearest hospital immediately.
