(1) How do remedies work? Homeopathic remedies are considered
energy medicine. The original natural substance has been so diluted that
the only remains of the original substance is its energy. (Which can be
seen in an MRI). This energy is seen by the body as a stimulant or message
to encourage the body to take action to heal, repair itself and balance.The
further out of balance, the more complaints. The remedy's job is to move
you toward balance.
(2) I tried a remedy in the past and didn't get results, why?
Most common is that the remedy is the wrong one for you and your overall
condition. The remedies are specific to you and the way your body expresses
itself (mentally and physically). You need to communicate honestly with
your Homeopath to facilitate the correct remedy selection. An example
of this is - If you are over tired, take a teaspoon of diluted remedy,
not three big cups of coffee. If your remedy is the right one, you will
feel stimulated and energized. If you are stressed and want to smoke marijuana
to mellow out or drink cham tea to sleep, you are artificially creating
relaxation! Instead, take a teaspoon of the diluted remedy. You should
be calmed by the remedy, provoking balance and allowing you to rest. Learn
to use the dilution in the first few weeks following your initial dose
and experience how many "medications" you can eliminate.
(3) When may I repeat my remedy? Natural occurrences like stress
(a letter from the IRS) move you out of balance. The stress of that letter
= loss of sleep = over-tired = reduced immunity = relapses which move
you away from balance. That's the time to repeat the remedy and message
the body to move back toward balance. Please call and schedule a follow-up
appointment so that I may help you manage this process. It is important
to follow up at least two or three times to insure your remedy is moving
you in the correct direction and progress is resulting.
(4) What is 'antidote'? Should you "antidote" the remedy, you
are stopping the progress toward balance. Please abstain from camphor,
menthol, tea tree oil (which is camphorated). Products like Ben Gay, Vicks,
Carmax, Altoids, etc.....are medicine which penetrate. These are the only
substances which should be avoided. If you can taste mint from your toothpaste,
don't take the remedy.
(5) What is an aggravation and what do you mean, 'I might experience
the return of old symptoms?' Disease energy weakens our body, mind
and spirit. If the body heals completely it is returned to full energy
and vitality. If it 'stores' disease which diminishes vitality and leaves
impaired function in the disordered parts. If you are not well since strep
throat and the energy has settled in your kidney, to heal the kidney the
strep will return and the kidney will heal. We can dilute the remedy during
the aggravation (return the sore throat) and move it out as well. The
result is the undoing of the progressive disease process. Not all symptoms
return (or no one would be doing homeopathy!), only the ones 'stored'
which need to be removed will return. You do not have to be miserable
because we can dilute the remedy or use the appropriate acute remedy for
the 'stored' symptom when and if it resurfaces. The benefit of returning
old symptoms is the spectacular return of vitality and the liberty of
not medicating your body's expression of pain and misery!
(6) What is a dilution? Diluting your remedy in water softens
the message to balance. Its effect is gentle and easy to use. Take a bottle
(the ones with sipper lids are the easiest) and drop in one pellet. Dissolve
the pellet and shake the bottle well. Label the bottle with the remedy
name. You may use this watered down remedy for any irritation or unwanted
symptoms in the first week to ten days. Take approximately one teaspoon
of this water, swish it in your mouth and hold it for about ten seconds
before swallowing. For intense aggravation you may take one teaspoon every
five minutes for three times. If the symptom is not resolved, journal
it and report it in your follow-up which should be within two weeks of
your initial appointment.
(7) I had heard not to touch the remedies? Because we are only
using one pellet and we want nothing to contaminate the subtle remedy,
we pour them into the lid to get just one. You can return the extra uncontaminated
ones back into the container to maintain purity.
(8) What about diet? The remedies will work despite your dietary
habits, but they may not last as long. If your main complaint was acid
stomach which is aggravated by eating salsa, then salsa should be avoided
until the body is balanced and the 'hyper' sensitivity to it is reduced.
Then you may not be 'irritated' by it later. If you have liver disorder,
drinking alcohol is aggravating your condition. The right remedy will
reduce your desire by focusing on your addiction or self destructive tendencies.
After homeopathy you should have the desire and willpower to adhere to
better dietary standards (which vary from patient to patient), helping
you maintain improved health and vitality.
(9) Where do I put my remedies? Please store the remedies in a
clothing drawer away from the odor and chemicals in your kitchen or bathroom.
Also temperatures above 140 degrees may be deactivating. So....do not
leave them in a hot vehicle in the summer.
(10) Are these remedies regulated somehow? All homeopathic remedies
are considered 'drugs' within the meaning of the United States Food, Drug
and Cosmetic Act and therefore are subject to the applicable USFDA regulations
for labeling. Homeopathy has its own official reference books which guide
the preparation of homeopathic medicines. One of the most widely accepted
is the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States, often abbreviated
HPUS. It establishes standard procedures for the handling and preparation
of the many, varied substances used to make the remedies.
