Homeopathic drugs are of precious
help for the general practitioner
as well as the specialist in daily
practice.
In most areas, homeopathic drugs treat
acute as well as chronic diseases.
Clinical
Terms is a comprehensive and
precise clinical reference terminology
that use by health care providers,
health care information technology
suppliers, providers and institutional
researchers can use to improve the
comparability of clinical data.
First,
do no harm...
The first
concern of anyone using any new medicine
is "Is it safe?". The short
answer is yes, homeopathic medicine is
completely safe. However,
you should not stop taking any existing
medication without first consulting your
doctor.
Dosage
and Potency
Not all homeopaths
agree on dosage and potency, and the potency
to be taken depends on both the sensitivity
of the patient, and the exact remedy being
taken. But as a general rule, chronic
illnesses (i.e. those that you've had
for a long time) should be treated with
high numbers i.e. 30C - 200C and Acute
(i.e. those that are relatively new) with
low numbers i.e. 6C.
However, there
are exceptions, particularly where an
accident started off the symptoms and
you might give the body a kick start with
a high potency dose such as Arnica 200C
first and then follow with a lower potency
remedy. Low numbers are used more frequently
than high numbers.
Another general rule is that high potency
homeopathic medicine should only be taken
when you know it is the right remedy,
so start off with a low potency remedy,
and then increase the potency if improvement
is felt, though incomplete.
Taking
Homeopathic Medicine
Homeopathic
medicine should be taken on a clean pallet.
While on a course of homeopathic treatment,
you should avoid strong flavors such
as mint (including toothpaste), coffee
or camphor.
They are normally taken as pills which
are placed under the tongue. Take two
tablets every two hours for the first
six doses, and then four times daily for
up to five days. For some complaints remedies
are taken as an ointment, for example,
arnica cream applied directly to bruising.
If you are taking the remedy in pill form,
you should avoid contact with the skin
(including fingers). Just drops a few pills
into the lid and pour them directly into
the mouth.
Once relief from the symptoms if felt,
stop taking the homeopathic medicine.
Only take it again if exactly the same
symptoms come back.
A
Professional
Homeopath will also assess your diet
and lifestyle. Good nutrition is vital.
If
symptoms persist, consult your personal
health care doctor.
