How to Administer Homeopathic Remedies

Please PRINT this out for future reference

This page provides instructions on how to properly administer remedies for minor acutes and first aid.

Please note: treatment, dosage, and potency for first aid and recurring acute ailments is very different for chronic conditions. Chronic conditions should only be instructed by an experienced homeopath.

Potency

30c for minor acute and first aid ­ do not use for recurring things that seem acute but are part of a chronic state or for anything else chronic. OR 200C if you have taken my Intro to Homeopathy Class - again never use 200C for anything that is not a one-time only acute state or first aid

30C should be used if treating an elderly family member or the person is in a very weakened state.

Water or Dry?

Always administer in water (even though label says differently).

Put your dry pillules or tablets in water to administer (see below for instructions). It is best not to take them dry. In a pinch, it is okay to give as dry.

The vital force does better if you put them in water and then raise the potency a little each time. The vital force does not do as well with the same potency over and over and that is the way you would do it if you used them dry.

Creating an aqueous solution

Put one pillule or tablet in 6 oz of water (use purified, filtered water if possible) in a water bottle (glass or plastic).

Let dissolve or sit for at least 5 minutes.

Shake just a little after it dissolves.

Take one teaspoon out of water bottle and give to the person. Have the person hold in their mouth for a few seconds if possible

Wait. (save bottle for use later if need be)

Dose Frequency

You basically give 1 dose of 1 remedy and wait…..

If improvement, don’t give anymore.

If improvement and then same symptoms come back ­ give another dose of same.

To give another dose:
Take the water bottle you have and succuss it­this is strong downward thrusts from about 2 feet up­like a judge hitting a gavel. Do this 10 times on a book or something (you are succussing to slightly raise the potency of what you have started with).

Give another teaspoon out of this.

If improvement and new symptoms appear, research and find what the new remedy should be. Sometime one remedy will shift things and then require different remedy to finish up.

If no improvement on one dose of 30c in water, repeat it in 20-30 minutes.

If no improvement on one dose if 200c in water, repeat it in 1 hour. If you are using 6X or something, may have to repeat oftener than a 30C as the energy ‘gets used up’, in a way. You can do this 2 or 3 times with 200C or 30C. If no improvement after that probably wrong remedy.

Signs of improvement

Improvement you may see first is in mental/emotional symptoms, or sleep, or general well being, or thirst or appetite­then the physical symptoms may improve later.

Solution Notes

If you get near the end of the bottle, keep at least one teaspoon in there and add 6 ozs more of water to keep it going, as you have been raising the potency each time and don’t want to start over. Mostly you will never get to this point as you are treating a minor acute or first aid and you will only be repeating 3 or 4 times.

Don’t need to refrigerate unless keeping overnight

Throw away all solution at the end. If using a plastic water bottle and plastic spoon, throw away at the end. If using a glass bottle and metal spoon, boil in water for 5­10 minutes at the end before reusing so all remnants of remedy have been neutralized.

Other key points:

Do not treat for chronic or recurring things on your own.
DO not go by what is on the bottle (heaven only knows why FDA or whatever makes them say that stuff)
Always use them in water as I teach above
Store away from electrical outlets or microwaves or computers and out of direct sunlight or strong heat in summer in a closed up
