Homeopathy - How do I take them?!
Question:
Homeopathy - How do I take them?
I went to see a homeopath yesterday. So far I'm more that sceptical about the whole thing but she told me that those medicines will not hurt me if I try them and if prescibed wrongly. If so, how do I take them? She gave me 3 powders in of, I believe, Phosporus as she was going on and on about it. How do I take them? She either didn't tell me or I've forgotten.
Also, I was reading about Phosphorus type on the internet but although a small number of things could decsribe me, most of them are definitely not me, it sounds like some sort of a mad person I know I'm not! It's all very weird but as I said, - I'm willing to have a go. I went to see her because of irregular heartbeat that my GP said was fine, by the way. She didn't give me any answers neither, just asked me loads of questions which, looking back at now and reading about Phospohorus, were all leading to that type.
Answers:
Just tip them in your mouth & let the powder dissolve. Don't eat or drink for 20 mins either side of taking the remedy. Hopefully, she's told you what other things to avoid - coffee, mint, eucalyptus, menthol, tea tree ...... to mention a few things. Contact her to check if not.
It's important that you feel comfortable with the practitioner you are seeing. It's a very complex discipline & you can read any remedy & think it's suitable for you in some way! As a practitioner myself, I do't treat myself or my family - we all go to a homoeopath for that!! This is because you need a completely objective view - and no one can be that to their own. The remedy pictures describe all levels of a person - so they can look as if there is a mad element to all of them!! We all have that potential within us given the wrong set of circumstances!
