Remedies:

    The potency of a homeopathic remedy is its
    strength. Potencies range usually from 3x or 3c progressively up to
    M, CM, and LM potencies. When self-prescribing without the benefit
    of professional advice, use lower potencies like 12c.

    Remedies are available in tiny round sugar
    pellets or globules and tablets made of sucrose or lactose. For
    those oversensitive to a tiny amount of sucrose or lactose, remedies
    can be ordered in liquid form containing alcohol. For those avoiding
    even small amounts of alcohol or sugar, LM potencies must be used,
    but these must be prepared in liquid form by a very knowledgable
    homeopath.


Taking the remedy:

    Try not touch the pellets as they can be
    antidoted by something you’ve touched earlier. First, pour them into
    the cap or the extra cap found inside the tube. Then, pour these
    into your mouth and under your tongue and allow them to slowly
    dissolve there.

    Adults: Take 4 pellets.

    Children: Give 3 pellets under the tongue
    or crush them in a clean paper and pour into mouth.

    Infants: Dissolve 3 pellets in 1/2 glass
    of water and give two teaspoons as prescribed.

Important:

– Homeopathic Remedy Antidotes –
Homeopathic remedies are essentially vibrational
medicine, and they are easily overwhelmed by other
strong material vibrations.

Try to avoid anything with
coffee flavor, mint, camphor, menthol, large
quantities of caffeine, or chamomile externally or
internally. For example: avoid mint flavored
toothpastes, chewing gums, and mouthwashes (mint and
menthol); menthol lozenges and candies; coffee, even
decaffeinated or coffee flavored ice cream or candies.
If you must have caffeine get it from tea or
caffinated soda. Avoid Noxema products and Tiger Balm
(camphor); etc. Try also to avoid very strong
aromatics or toxic odors like eucalyptus, wintergreen,
peppermint, essential oils like patchouli, strong
perfumes, strong after-shave and soap, smelly
chemicals, moth-balls. If you drink alcohol, avoid
extremes. If you smoke marijuana, try to avoid it
during treatment because it is a high and aromatic. Do
not place your remedies in close contact with magnets.
It is best to avoid drugging of any kind, but
especially steroids and opiates. These can overpower
and antidote your remedy. If you will not or cannot
avoid these factors, it is best to use LM
potencies.

Much to my amazement very few
homeopathic practitioners or the pharmacies that sell
homoeopathic remedies give patients correct or
thorough information for taking homeopathic remedies.
This leaves most homeopathic users unaware that they
may be unknowingly blowing their remedies, that is
stopping their action by antidoting them with common
substances without even knowing it.


When to take the remedy:

    Whenever possible take a remedy at bedtime, as
    the body is at rest. During the day try to take the remedy away from
    meals, at least 1/2 hour before eating, and at least one hour after
    eating because while the body is busy digesting food there can be a
    digestive upset with certain remedies. In an acute case, such as an
    injury, take the remedy immediately no matter when you have eaten.
    The mouth should also be free of any strong tastes. You may drink
    liquids shortly before and after taking a remedy. If you are taking
    a remedy several times a day, try to schedule some of the doses
    before bed, upon waking and during the day.


Homeopathic Recovery:

    According to Hering’s homeopathic “law of
    cure,” in the course of cure during homeopathic treatment, the
    symptoms improve from the inside outward, from above downwards, from
    the most vital to the less vital organs, and in the reverse order of
    their original onset of appearance. The vital force, energy, and the
    most commonplace symptoms such as general emotions, improve before
    physical symptoms. It is common during homeopathic treatment for the
    earlier suppressed symptoms to reappear briefly. This is actually
    beneficial because the re-emergence of old symptoms shows that they
    are no longer suppressed and can indicate the original factors of
    the recent illness and be treated. The chronic longstanding symptoms
    take longer to cure than recent and acute maladies.


How Long to Take a Remedy:

    As long as the symptoms persist the remedy should
    be taken providing that some changes are beginning to happen.


When to Stop or Change the remedy:

    While the remedy is acting on your symptoms, you
    do not repeat the dosage. You must wait to take the next dose until
    the remedy has stopped acting (that is, when you experience the
    dip). If your symptoms disappear, you do not need the remedy any
    longer. If the symptoms change, you may need a different remedy. You
    must therefore become aware of what is going on in your body. So, be
    more aware than usual. This is not the usual pill-popping.

    When the symptoms are cured, stop taking the
    remedy. If the symptoms change, change to another remedy according
    to the new symptoms. If a remedy doesn’t help your symptoms it will
    not hurt you, but if within a day or two there is no improvement at
    all try a different appropriate remedy.


Orthodox/Allopathic Medical Drugs
and Homeopathy:

    Homeopathic remedies do not undermine the action of drugs or
    interact with them. On the other hand drugs may neutralize
    homeopathic remedies, most especially steroids such as Cortisone and
    Prednisone.


Self Prescribing Considerations and

The Importance of Modalities

    crystalThere
    are so many homeopathic remedies for each disorder, that simply
    looking for “PAIN” will not find the most closely matching
    remedy for your specific pain. The fact that your ailment hurts is not
    sufficient to tell you which remedy to use. But the modalities of the
    pain – the kind of pain it is, where the pain is, and when it hurts
    most – will help enormously. These are some of the factors you need
    to address. For example: if the pain pulsates and burns in your leg in
    addition to having certain modalities such as worse on the left side
    and in the evening and better from cold applications, then you will be
    able to find the most curative remedy for your leg pain.
