Important Information

The remedies and their potencies listed here were compiled using existing homeopathic literature. The primary reference which was consulted is "Homeopathic Materia Medica", by William Boericke, M.D. In the preface to the ninth edition, Dr. Boericke states that his work contains the well known verified characteristic symptoms of all the medicines including the published clinical experience of the homeopathic school. This work may be read online at: http://www.homeoint.org/books/boericmm/

Each remedy may affect a variety of symptoms. Likewise, a particular symptom may be addressed by several different remedies. The selection of potency is also important. The combination of these factors can easily overwhelm the average person when trying to decide which remedy to take. Therefore, it became apparent that a recommended remedies list was in order, especially for the newcomer to homeopathy.

Your condition may present more than one symptom. In this case, more than one remedy may be taken at the same time. This would be called a combination remedy and is common in homeopathy.

The choices selected for reference are where I would begin if had the indicated symptom(s). This list is not intended or offered as a substitute for professional medical advice. It is for information only.

The Case for Homeopathy – Reasons to Use Homeopathic Medicine

1. Effective results are seen when the appropriate remedy is used. If the remedy does not work, it will not cause other problems. Simply choose another remedy/potency.

2. Results are apparent quickly in acute conditions (of recent onset/short duration). Chronic conditions (of long duration) will take longer to effect a complete cure. Historically, homeopathy has been used successfully for centuries around the world.

3. Safety is assured because of the high dilution of the remedies. Remedies are manufactured and labeled according to the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States (HPUS). These specifications are recognized by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

4. No side effects are known to be caused by homeopathic medicines.

5. The second most widely used health care system in the world, homeopathy follows only herbal medicine in popularity by practitioners.

6. Pure and natural, there are no other active ingredients/additives other than those on the label.

7. Use of the wrong remedy will not cause other symptoms. A remedy will either work or not without side effects/worsening the condition.

8. No drug interactions are known to be caused by homeopathic remedies.

9. These non-toxic remedies are made from diluted, natural, animal, vegetable, and mineral substances. They are diluted to the point where no toxicity remains.

10. These gentle preparations do not disturb the systems of the body. Rather, they stimulate the body’s own healing powers.

11. Neither habit forming nor fattening, the remedies are easy to take. They just dissolve in your mouth.

12. These cost-effective medications are one of the least expensive approaches to health care.

13. Health maintenance and disease prevention tonics are available. Many of these come as combinations.
