Homeopathic remedies come in different forms – they may be given as liquid, pills, tablets or powder.
We mainly prescribe our remedies in pill or liquid form (drops or spray) and these are taken orally by mouth. If given as a pill, place in mouth and suck until it dissolves. Just like sucking a lolly! They have a slightly sweet, pleasant taste. The pill is made from sucrose and is lactose free. For liquid remedies you can place the drops or spray directly into the mouth from the bottle.
How many pills / drops / sprays do I take?
1 dose = 2 pills (or drops/sprays)
Dissolve pills / drops / spray in mouth.
Avoid food, drink (other than water) or teeth brushing at least 10-15 mins before or after taking a remedy.
How often do I take my remedy?
Frequency: Only once, unless instructed otherwise e.g daily, 3 x a week, weekly etc.
Follow the written instructions on frequency given with your remedy.
Taking extra doses unnecessarily will not improve results and may reduce effectiveness. If you forget your dose, do not double up next time. Contact us for guidance if you are unsure.
Do I continue taking the previous remedies prescribed?
STOP your previous prescription and start your new one (unless instructed otherwise by us). Follow the written dosage & frequency instructions given with your new prescription.
Store any leftover remedies for possible future use. Remedies have many uses – for example, the remedy Arsenicum may have been prescribed for anxiety/stress for you but it is also a very useful remedy for food poisonings or tummy bugs!
