Homeopathic Treatment Guidelines

• Take homeopathic medications either just before a meal or at bedtime.
• Avoid mint and coffee during periods of treatment.
• Use homeopathic toothpastes.
• Do not touch the granules with your fingers; to count out the required number of granules for one dose, us the dose-measuring cap provided with the medication's container.
• Allow the granules to melt under the tongue.
• When treating infants, dissolve the granules in a little water, then administer the solution in small sips.
• Keep the medicines in a cool, dark place away from strong smelling substances and they will remain effective for several years.

Dosing Guidelines

• The potency of the medicine is denoted by a number which follows its name.  For example, Arnica 6 CH or Cantharis 5CH
• In acute conditions (e.g.. fevers), take the medication every half-hour or hour.  As soon as there is improvement, reduce medication to 3 to 4 times per day.  When all signs and symptoms have disappeared, continue taking the medication for one full day before discontinuing it.
• For prolonged, i.e.. chronic, treatment (e.g.. acne, warts, etc.) take the medication 2 to 3 times per day.
• Usual dosages are listed with each medication and for each indication.
• Dosing should be stopped when the condition is cleared.
