How to Store and Take Remedies for Acute Minor Injuries and AilmentsStore remedies away from direct sunlight, heat and also chilling cold (don’t put in them in the fridge). Homeopathic remedies should also not be exposed to strong smells, such as the kitchen spice cupboard or bathroom cabinet, as strong smells interfere with the innate healing properties of the remedies. If stored properly, homeopathic remedies will last indefinitely.

Take remedies approx. 20 minutes away from any food, drink or toothbrushing. When taking homeopathic remedies, avoid exposure to harsh smells like camphor, eucalyptus, tea tree oils, Vick Vaporub and such. If possible, please also refrain from ingesting strong mints or using mouth rinses containing mint or anything containing other strong essential oils.

Coffee is best to be avoided, as in sensitive individuals coffee can counteract the action of a remedy. If you can’t do without coffee, please try and limit your consumption to one cup and time taking your remedy well away from coffee.

Homeopathic pellets or granules should be taken dry. Try not to touch the remedy with your fingers, but dispense the pellets/granules into the cap and spill them in to your mouth, letting them slowly dissolve under the tongue. That way it will be absorbed best.

Taking into account the nature of the complaint (fever, cough, sting or such) with as many details about preferences (food, temperature etc.), modalities (what makes it better or worse), expression (pulse, dry or sweaty fever, swollen or angry looking parts etc.) and mood (cranky, clingy, anxious etc), select the remedy that best matches it.

Do not take two different remedies at the same time!

For conditions involving intense fever or pain, give a dose of the remedy (2 pellets) every 15 minutes hours for an hour.

In less intense cases, 2 doses 1 hour apart will be a good starting point.

For longer lasting complaints (sprains for example), 3 doses can be given 6-12 hours apart.

The general guideline is to stop giving a remedy when there are signs of improvement. In that case, let the remedy continue to act and observe whether the condition continues to improve. When there is (slight) relief followed by stagnation, repeat the remedy.

If you find there is absolutely no improvement after three doses, the remedy is likely not the correct one. See whether another remedy from your kit might be better indicated.

You might also need to follow with a second remedy if the symptoms change and call for a different remedy altogether. Remember to not switch to another remedy as long as there is improvement, slow as it may be. In homeopathy we often see that the person’s energy or mood improves before the physical symptoms do.

If unsure about any of the above, please contact your homeopath!
