Precaution while using Homeopathy

Homeopathy is a system of alternative medicine created in 1796 by Samuel .
21. Allopathic
If you are a blood pressure, diabetes, epilepsy patient and if you are taking certain medicines for longer period of time then it is not advisable to stop the medicines abruptly as you may encounter problems if you do that. Once you start responding positively to homoeopathic treatment, then your homoeopath will advise curtail down of your medicines.
22. Remedies
Thepotencyof a homeopathic remedy is its strength. Potencies range usually from 3x or 3c progressively up to M, CM, and LM potencies. When self-prescribing without the benefit of professional advice, use lower potencies like 12c. Remedies are available in tiny round sugar pellets or globules and tablets made of sucrose or lactose. For those oversensitive to a tiny amount of sucrose or lactose, remedies can be ordered in liquid form containing alcohol. For those avoiding even small amounts of alcohol or sugar, LM potencies must be used, but these must be prepared in liquid form by a very knowledgable homeopath.
23. Taking the remedy
Try not touch the pellets as they can be antidoted by something you've touched earlier. First, pour them into the cap or the extra cap found inside the tube. Then, pour these into your mouth and under your tongue and allow them to slowly dissolve there.
24. Homeopathic Remedy Antidotes
Homeopathic remedies are essentially vibrational medicine, and they are easily overwhelmed by other strong material vibrations. Following the half an hour rule is of high importance when using homeopathic medications. Nothing should be consumed half an hour minutes before and after the medicine is taken. This is the most important factor that needs to be borne in mind while undergoing homeopathic treatment.
25. Try to avoid
Try to avoid anything with coffee flavor, mint, camphor, menthol,large quantities of caffeine, or chamomile externally or internally. For example: avoid mint flavored toothpastes, chewing gums, and mouthwashes (mint and menthol); menthol lozenges and candies; coffee, even decaffeinated or coffee flavored ice cream or candies. If you must have caffeine get it from tea or caffinated soda. Avoid Noxema products and Tiger Balm (camphor); etc. Try also to avoid very strong aromatics or toxic odors like eucalyptus, wintergreen, peppermint, essential oils like patchouli, strong perfumes, strong after-shave and soap, smelly chemicals, moth-balls.
26. When to take the remedy
Whenever possible take a remedy at bedtime, as the body is at rest. During the day try to take the remedy away from meals, at least 1/2 hour before eating, and at least one hour after eating because while the body is busy digesting food there can be a digestive upset with certain remedies. In an acute case, such as an injury, take the remedy immediately no matter when you have eaten. The mouth should also be free of any strong tastes. You may drink liquids shortly before and after taking a remedy. If you are taking a remedy several times a day, try to schedule some of the doses before bed, upon waking and during the day.
27. Homeopathic Recovery
According to Herings homeopathic law of cure, in the course of cure during homeopathic treatment, the symptoms improve from the inside outward, from above downwards, from the most vital to the less vital organs, and in the reverse order of their original onset of appearance. The vital force, energy, and the most commonplace symptoms such as general emotions, improve before physical symptoms. It is common during homeopathic treatment for the earlier suppressed symptoms to reappear briefly. This is actually beneficial because the re-emergence of old symptoms shows that they are no longer suppressed and can indicate the original factors of the recent illness and be treated. The chronic longstanding symptoms take longer to cure than recent and acute maladies.
28. How Long to Take a Remedy
As long as the symptoms persist the remedy should be taken providing that some changes are beginning to happen. Get rid of addictions, if any. This is another important precaution that is to be borne in mind. If homeopathic treatment is being taken, then it is of high importance that the patient gets rid of any sort of addictions, if any, like for instance smoking, alcohol consumption, drug addiction etc.
29. When to Stop or Change the remedy
While the remedy is acting on your symptoms, you do not repeat the dosage. You must wait to take the next dose until the remedy has stopped acting (that is, when you experience the dip). If your symptoms disappear, you do not need the remedy any longer. If the symptoms change, you may need a different remedy. You must therefore become aware of what is going on in your body. So, be more aware than usual. This is not the usual pill-popping.
30. Orthodox or Allopathic Medical Drugs and Homeopathy
Homeopathic remedies do not undermine the action of drugs or interact with them. On the other hand drugs may neutralize homeopathic remedies, most especially steroids such as Cortisone and Prednisone. Many homeopathic practitioners suggest that sour foods are not supposed to be consumed while undergoing homeopathic treatment and taking homeopathic medications. Examples of such foods include tamarind, lime, etc.
