SOME IMPORTANT AND USEFUL HOMEOPATHIC FACTS

In order to use homoeopathy successfully it is important that the two following homeopathic laws are followed:-

The Law of Similars states that we must match the symptom picture of an illness or injury to the symptom picture of the medicine. The Law of the Minimum Dose states that we must only use as little of a medicine as possible to stimulate the body’s own healing mechanism. When we do take or give a medicine it should be one dose (e.g. one pill) and then wait to see what relief is brought. If there is improvement we should leave alone. We should only give another dose if improvement ceases before a full recovery is made or if the symptoms return (if there is a relapse). If the body is given more homoeopathic medicine than it needs this will not improve or speed up the action of the medicine, in fact, it can possible render the medicine less effective.

Other important factors to be considered are:-

  • SAFETY

    • Serious injuries and illnesses should never be treated without seeking expert advice. Use your instincts and common sense, if you are worried call for help first, then give the appropriate remedy while you are waiting for help to arrive.

    Where a case is less serious or less urgent, and if symptoms show no improvement or if they recur, you should always seek professional help. A qualified homoeopath may be needed to treat the underlying weakness in the patient’s constitution.

    If you already see a homoeopath regularly, please discuss self-prescription with them.

    Keep remedies away from small children.
     

  • ANTIDOTING

    • It is known that certain substances can, in some people, antidote certain homoeopathic medicines.

    Therefore, it is advisable to avoid the following if possible: coffee, mint (for instance toothpaste), camphor, menthol, eucalyptus (often found in vapour rubs and cold remedies).

    Store remedies away from strong smells and in a cool dark place.
     

  • TAKING THE MEDICINE IN PILL FORM
    • Homoeopathic medicines are delicate and need careful handling. They should be touched as little as possible. Shake one pill into the lid and then put it onto the palm of the hand of the person taking the remedy. From the palm it should go straight into the mouth and be allowed to dissolve under the tongue. Put into a clean mouth, preferably at least half an hour before or after having anything to eat or drink, cleaning your teeth or smoking. Obviously this does not apply in an urgent emergency where it should be given as soon as possible.

    4. SUPPLIERS
    Many ‘high street’ chemists and health food shops sell homoeopathic remedies, normally supplied in potencies of either 6C or 30C, either is appropriate for use in first aid situations.
