Q. What is Homeopathy?
A. Homeopathy is a 200-year-old system of healing that uses remedies made with very small amounts of natural substances from the plant, mineral, and animal kingdoms to stimulate the body's ability to heal.
While Classical Homeopathy assists the individual one ingredient (remedy) at a time, Combination homeopathics (more than 1 ingredient) are commonly used in our increasingly polluted world for our complex health problems whether seasonal or chronic. Since there are no side effects with homeopathy, remedies can be safely combined, working together to strengthen and support organs to speed up the body's response and recovery.
Homeopathics are based on the principle of "Like Cures Like," and the smallest particle size that will obtain results and that will treat like challenges in the body, kind of like allergy shots. According to Dr. Hahnemann, the founding father of homeopathy, "Each individual case of disease is most surely, radically, rapidly, and permanently annihilated and removed only by a medicine capable of producing (in the human system) the most similar and complete manner of the totality of the symptoms." In other words, the same substance that in large doses produces the symptoms of an illness, in very minute doses relieves it.**
Homeopathic remedies are prepared through a process of diluting with pure water or alcohol and succussing (vigorous shaking). According to the principles of homeopathy, the more diluted it gets, the more potent it becomes. Homeopathic remedies are regulated and manufactured under strict quality controls by the United States Food and Drug Administration-FDA.
The More Dilute the Remedy, the Greater Its Potency Most people believe that the higher the dose of a medicine, the greater the effect. But the opposite holds true in homeopathy where the more a substance is diluted, the higher its potency. Dr. Hahnemann discovered this Law of Infinitesimal Dose by experimenting with higher and higher dilutions of substances to avoid toxic side effects.**
More and more people are turning to homeopathic natural home remedies because they have tried orthodox (conventional/allopathic) medicine and it has either failed them completely or they have had to cope with unpleasant or even serious side effects from these drugs.

Q. How Long Does It Take To See Results? Can I Repeat the Remedy if the Symptoms Return?
A. In Homeopathy, we are dealing with remedies that allow the body to heal itself, so there are no absolutes in how long a remedy will take, or if another remedy will be needed.
Homeopathy typically works on a 1:10 time frame. For example, if you have been experiencing symptoms of panic attacks for 10 years, then it may take a full year of homeopathy to resolve both the frequency and the intensity of the sensations of anxiety. 10 years – 1:10 time frame = 1 year. Always consult your health care practitioner before beginning any natural remedies.
As long as the symptoms persist, the remedy should be taken providing that some changes are beginning to happen. Since everyone is different, the length of time a remedy is needed differs from person to person. In acute conditions, the improvement can be very rapid. With chronic illnesses that have existed for many years, some people find complete relief within a year or two, others need treatment for years after that.
Homeopathics remove imbalances from the body, and allow the body to heal itself. Homeopathic remedies differ from taking prescription drugs, herbs, supplements, and drugstore over the counter medicine. Homeopathy is not harsh to the system and doesn't work by suppression or covering up symptom.
Q. What is an aggravation/providing?
A. An aggravation (also know as a providing) is a temporary increase in your symptoms. This may occur as the remedy strengthens your system. As your system gets stronger, it is able to bring symptoms to the surface, and then move them out of your body. You may experience them as being intensified when they are on the surface. This generally lasts a short time - 15 minutes to 48 hours.
1. Masking a major disorder: If pain or condition persists or worsens, it may be an indication that there is a more serious underlying condition. Seek further medical treatment if symptoms continue, worsen or recur for more than 7 days. Always work with a doctor's supervision for maximum safety.**
2. Alcohol sensitivities: If alcohol sensitive, the homeopathic drops may be put into a 3 oz. glass of warm water. Allow 1 minute for alcohol to evaporate, then hold under tongue no less than 10 seconds (may have to be taken in more than 1 serving). If the problem persists, alcohol sensitive persons may also get these remedies in pills without alcohol upon request.**
Q. How do I store my remedy?
A. Keep bottle out of direct sunlight and away from heat over 100° F. Remedies do not need refrigeration but should be keep it in a dark place.
Q. Can I take more than one homeopathic? Can I take them together (aka. combine them)?
