Directions for taking the remedies
1. Never take more than one remedy or potency at a time.
2. Never take a remedy repeatedly without waiting in between doses for the action to complete.
3. Dissolve them directly in the mouth. One Dose = 1-3 pellets.
Potency scale is as follows, from lowest to highest (strongest):
6C -> 12C -> 30C -> 200C(K) (This is the highest you would go without consulting a homeopath)4. When symptoms begin to bother you, start with the lower potency of the indicated remedy, take ONE DOSE, and wait to see if there is improvement. The waiting time is dictated by the severity of the symptoms, in case of severe symptoms 10-15min. is enough, in something less severe, it may be several hours. The lower potencies (6 and 12C) may need to be repeated more often before they begin to work.
If there is improvement, do not take another dose until the symptoms return. You may take several doses in this way. If the current potency stops working, go up to the next higher potency.
If there is no improvement after 3 doses, discontinue dosing.
5. If the symptoms persist, see a doctor or consult your homeopath.
