How to Take a Homeopathic Remedy
After your first consultation you will receive a remedy.
Usually I will have explained to you how to take it properly. But sometimes it’s nice to read how to do it. Especially if you’re new to Homeopathy.
If it’s a single dose remedy that you’re taking then it is best to take it in the evening, before going to bed. Make sure not to have any other tastes in your mouth. For instance brush your teeth 30 minutes before or after taking the remedy. As well es eating or drinking something. Water is an exception. 10 Min. before and after taking the remedy you can drink normal water again.
When you take the remedy put it into your mouth, either under the tongue or in the cheek pocket. Let it dissolve there.
Children love to take homeopathic remedies and you will probably like it too.
Succussion
In acute situations it might be needed to take a remedy more often. What is usually done is to dissolve 5 globules in a glas of water. Stir it 10 times and take a teaspoon full every 30 minutes. You could also use a small water bottle, put the globules inside and shake it 10 times firmly before taking a spoonful of the solution. Stop immediately if it gets better or worse. If nothing changes within a couple of hours get back into contact with me. After 24 hours in the fridge you shouldn’t use the remedy any more.
LM Potencies
LM potencies are sometimes called Q potencies. That’s the same. For now let’s call them LM potencies and I’ll explain the difference later. The beauty of taking LM potencies is that they can be taken daily. Or sometimes every second day. They are usually for clients who take a lot of prescribed medication from their physician. To make sure homeopathy still works well, a small impulse is given every day. There are different ways to take LM potencies. The “traditional” way is to dissolve them in water with a bit of alcohol, for conservation. Then the bottle is shaken vigorously 10 times. Best is to knock the bottle 10 times strongly on a big book if you have one at hand. A teaspoon is taken out of the bottle into a fresh glas of water, stirred and one big spoonful of the glas is taken every day. Preferrably at night. 30 Min before and after taking the remedy there should be no other tastes in the mouth, like toothpaste, food etc.
The other way to take LM potencies is to take 1-3 globules daily dry into the mouth, preferably before going to bed. Make sure not to have any other tastes in your mouth. For instance brush your teeth 30 minutes before or after taking the remedy. As well es eating or drinking something. Water is an exception. 10 Min. before and after taking the remedy you can drink normal water again.
When you take the remedy put it into your mouth, either under the tongue or in the cheek pocket. Let it dissolve there.
What happens after taking homeopathic remedy?
After taking am Homeopathic remedy different things can happen. Most import is: Don’t repeat to often!
From western medicine clients are used to take medicines every day for the rest of their life. Or at least repeatedly until the problem is gone.
It’s important to understand that it works differently with homeopathy. Homeopathy gives an impulse. The body starts to react to it. Once this has happened the remedy shouldn’t be repeated.
That means if the symptoms get better. Don’t repeat. Even if there are still symptoms. Give the body time to take care of it.
If the symptoms get worse. Don’t repeat! Why not? In homepathy this is a called a “first reaction”. It means the body reacts to the chosen remedy. It’s a good sign, though it sometimes doesn’t feel so great. But don’t worry, usually it will get better very soon. If you’re unsure getting contact with me.
If nothing seems to change be patient. In an acute case something should happen quite fast of course. So if after a couple of hours nothing has changed get back in contact with me. But if it’s a chronic condition, that means if it has been ongoing for more than 3-6 months, then the changes will probably be more subtle. Be patient in this case. The problem didn’t occur over night and the body needs time to heal itself. That’s why follow ups are important. To make sure things develop into the right direction.
If you’re unsere what’s going on, book a short appointment, and we’ll have a look at the situation together.

Homeopathy is the latest and refined method of treating patients economically and nonviolently. Governments must encourage and patronise it in our country. Late Dr. Hahnemann was a man of superior intellectual power and means of saving human life, having a unique medical nerve. I bow before his skill and the Herculean and humanitarian labour he did. His memory wakes us again and you are to follow him, but the opponents hate the existence of the principles and practice of homeopathy, which in reality cures a larger percentage of cases than any other method of treatment, and it is beyond all doubt safer and more economical and the most complete medical science… Mahatma Gandhi
This homeopathy quote surfaced at the All India Homeopathic Medical Conference, 1968.
