All
remedies marked*h after their name are homeopathics, therefore
subscribe to these Guidelines.
To obtain optimum
results from homeopathy, please follow these instructions
carefully. Failure to do so may result in the remedies losing
their potency and becoming inert.
1. Keep the remedies
in the container in which they are supplied and never transfer
to any other container which has contained other substances.
2. Take nothing by mouth
at least 15 minutes before and after taking homeopathic medicine(eg.food,
coffee, mint-toothpaste, unless homeopathic (see
Products),
breath-freshener, tic-tac, tea, gum, etc.).
3. For alcohol sensitivity, remedies may be diluted in two
to three ounces of purified boiling-hot water. Allow 20minutes
before taking, to allow the alcohol to evaporate.
4. Should trauma to the
mouth occur (dental surgery, etc.), remedies may be taken
in the interim by applying topically to the wrist.
5. If, by accident, more
pills or tablets than the prescribed dose are shaken out of
the bottle, they must, on no account, be returned to the container,
but should be thrown away. To put them back would risk contaminating
the remainder.
6. Homeopathics will
not interfere with prescription drugs.
7. The following may
inhibit absorption and effectiveness of homeopathics; please
avoid if possible:
Nicotine and caffeine
in any form (coffee, chocolate, carbonated drinks, etc.) Note
that even drinks labeled “decaffeinated” can have
some caffeine present.
Strong fumes of any kind, especially solvents. Also, strong
perfumes and other aromatics (camphor,
menthol [as contained in some liniments, lozenges & nasal
drops], moth balls, carbolic soap, aromatic spices and essential
oils).
Raw garlic – avoid
for at least one hour before and after taking remedies.
Strong light, direct
sunlight and great heat (120 ° F) – Store remedies
in a cool, dry place, but avoid refrigerators.
Mint, including: candies,
chewing gum, toothpaste (Try HOMEOFRESH chewing gum and toothpaste),
mouthwash, peppermint and chamomile teas.
All electrical appliances,
microwave ovens and X-ray machines (airports, dental/medical
offices). Note that if remedies accidentally pass through
the X-ray machines, they can be re-potentized; it is not necessary
to discard them. When flying, do not send remedies through
the X-ray machine, ask the airport attendant to hand-check
them. |
