What remedies will you get?

A classical homeopath heals using strongly diluted and potentiatedextracts. These extracts can have a mineral, vegetable, animal or even human origins. The Latin name of the material used will tell what origin the remedy has. Some examples:

• Chamomilla: made from camomile
• China: quinine made from Jesuits' bark
• Apis: made from the honey bee
• Lachesis: made from snake poison
• Ferrum: made from iron
• Hepar sulfuris: made from a chemical connection of chalk from oyster shells and sulphur.

You will be given extensive information about how to use the medications by your homeopathic therapist. The following two guidelines always need to be observed:

• For a minimum of half an hour before an half an hour after taking the medication you need to stay clear of any food or drink. Smoking, chewing gum and brushing your teeth is also not allowed during this time.
• Don't swallow the medication at once. Place it under your tongue and let it melt in your mouth.
