Homeopathy:

Homeopathy has been used by millions of people worldwide for over 200 years and provides a natural and effective way to treat a wide variety of illnesses and ailments.
Homeopathy stimulates the body’s own natural healing process, and because it uses such minute dilutions of active ingredients, it is suitable for use in children of any age.

How should homeopathic remedies be stored?
Homeopathic remedies are extremely delicate and are best stored in their original containers in a dry cupboard, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.

Is homeopathy safe?
Yes, homeopathy is one of the safest forms of over the counter medicines available as the active ingredients are present in extremely low concentrations. Homeopathy is renowned as being safe, non- toxic and non-addictive.
Homeopathic tablets or pillules may contain like many conventional tablets and pillules, small amounts of lactose so patients who are lactose intolerant should take care when using these products. As with all conditions treated over the counter, patients should seek the help of their doctor or homeopath if their symptoms persist or deteriorate.

Does taking a larger dose have a greater effect?
No. It is the frequency of taking the dose that matters, not the number of tablets or pillules. Always follow the instructions on the pack regarding the dosage.

How should homeopathic medicines be taken?
The recommended dosage should be followed, which varies according to product and potency. The remedies should not be taken with any food or drinks or when tobacco or any strongly flavoured food or toothpaste taints the mouth. The remedies should be tipped directly into the mouth without being handled and they should be sucked, chewed or allowed to be dissolved in the mouth.
Do not swallow them whole.
For small babies, the remedy should be dissolved in a small amount of water or crushed between two spoons.

Can homeopathic drugs be taken with ordinary drugs?
It is safe to take homeopathy whilst taking allopathic medicines. However, any side effects that are caused by the allopathic drug may complicate the symptom picture and make the correct choice of homeopathic medicine more difficult. Always follow your doctor or homeopath’s advice.

Can Homeopathy be taken while pregnant?
Although it is generally considered safe to take homeopathic medicines whilst pregnant, they should only be taken on the advice of the patient’s doctor.
