When taking homeopathic medicines it is recommended to take as few doses as necessary but as many as are required when experiencing pain. At first when there is the greatest amount of pain and discomfort, you may need to take the remedy every hour. Usually after four doses, you can reduce the frequency to every other hour, and as the intensity of pain diminishes, taking a dose every four hours is common. If no improvement is noticeable after one or two days, it is not recommended to take further doses. Although most homeopathic remedies are in pill form for internal consumption, there are a select number of homeopathic medicines which are available in external applications.
Some external applications are in ointments, gels, or sprays.
Although they have a similar degree of efficacy, each has certain benefits and detriments. Ointments are made from a petroleum base which doesn't allow the skin to breath as well, but they tend to work well because they are not easily washed or wiped off. Gels and sprays allow the skin the breath more, but they are more easily washed or wiped off. Gels are my personal favorite because they are not as easily washed off.
