Page 6 of 8 Dosages & Use Start with a dosage of 6CH and wait for a response. If the remedy is appropriate for your constitution, you will notice an effect within a short period of time -- anywhere from seconds to hours. If improvement is realized, continue to wait and allow the remedy to work. Once you find that the improvement has significantly lagged or has completely stopped, take another dose if required (sometimes only one dose is needed to achieve the desired results). Your dosage frequency depends on your condition and constitution. If no effect is realized, move on to another remedy or consult your homeopath, naturopath, or other health practitioner. Tips
- Take homeopathic remedies half an hour either before or after meals, or at bedtime.
- Homeopathic remedies are prepared in sublingual doses. Allow the granule(s) to melt under your tongue.
- When administering remedies to an infant, dissolve the granules in water and administer the solution in small sips.
- Avoid mints and coffee during treatment periods. This includes gums, mint teas, breath mints, and after dinner mints. Avoid coffee-flavoured liquor and candies.
- Avoid touching the granules with your fingers, as you may reduce effectiveness. A dose-measuring stipper is usually incorporated into the remedy container.
- For acute conditions, e.g., fever, take a remedy every 30 to 60 minutes. Reduce dosage to 3 to 4 times daily as soon as there is improvement.
- For chronic conditions, take the remedy 2 to 3 times daily, or as prescribed by your homeopath, naturopath, or other health practitioner.
