Traditionally homeopathic single remedies have been very specific to particular symptoms, and therefore it has been difficult for a lay person to know which single substance should be used for an illness without the intervention of a homeopath. As a result, when it comes to consumer choice of product, more broadly defined combinations of ingredients are employed so that the various possibilities are addressed. This technique is becoming the method of choice, even amongst homeopathic physicians in view of the complexities of pinpointing each and every possible diagnostic sign in a person. Four simple rules for taking homeopathic medicine 1. The traditional method of taking homeopathic remedies is in 'granule' form.
Granules are tiny balls or pellets on which the medication is impregnated.
These are NOT to be touched but should be dispensed into the cap of the package or into a clean spoon and then placed directly into the mouth. By not handling the granules, you are assuring the purity of the medicine. This is important in doses as minuscule as those used in homeopathy. The mouth should be clear of foreign flavours, including coffee or tobacco smoke. It is best to not take homeopathic medicine directly before or after food or liquid.
