Extremes of temperature are never advised for Homeopathic remedies. Refrigerating or freezing homeopathic remedies is not recommended, nor should they be exposed to high temperatures, such as a closed vehicle on a hot sunny summer day. It’s best to keep containers tightly sealed and away from extreme heat or direct sunlight. Due to the high humidity often found in a bathroom, the common “medicine cabinet” is a bad place to keep any kind of medicine.

No, Homeopathic medicines are not herbal products. Herbal products use a larger quantity of plant material per dose. Homeopathic medicines use a much smaller dose of plant or mineral substance to address symptoms. Unlike Herbal products, which are regulated as dietary supplements or foods, the law requires Homeopathic products to be produced, tested and labeled as drugs. In other words, Homeopathic products must be manufactured in compliance with the FDA’s pharmaceutical Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) regulations for cleanliness, quality and testing.

It is preferable to take Homeopathic remedies apart from meals. The appropriate dosage is always shown on the labeling and should be followed unless differently directed by your Homeopath. It is recommended that you avoid touching the Homeopathic pellets and tablets with your fingers or hands. The easiest way is to gently shake the required pellets or tablets into the cap of the container and use that as a "cup" to gently place the medicine in your mouth.

Since the Homeopathic remedy is thinly adsorbed onto the surface of most pellets and tablets, any moisture on your fingers or hands may release the remedy at the point of contact rather than in your mouth. In addition, any oils on your skin may stick on the surface of the pellets or tablets and impede the proper absorption once the remedy is in your mouth.

Homeopathic medicines above 4C or 8X have a low risk of side effects and no contraindications. They can be safely taken with other conventional medications and are sometimes recommended to complement other treatments.

Because of the extremely small amount of highly diluted active ingredients, you don't need to  worry about suffering an overdose by taking more homeopathic medicine than the recommended dosage.

Alcohol is an excellent preservative and vehicle for Homeopathic remedies that is also present in many Herbal tinctures as well. The amount of alcohol in a usual dose is exceedingly small.

Homeopathy is very safe to use with animals. In working with a veterinarian who is familiar with homeopathic medicines, animals (both large and small) can be greatly helped, especially if the owner has made a careful assessment of the symptoms to assist the vet in choosing the right medicine.

This will depend on the specific condition and the severity of symptoms. Emotional and acute conditions often respond within minutes to the correctly chosen medicine, as do certain acute well-defined physical problems. Chronic conditions  may take longer or more frequent doses to return to the desired state of well being. During periods of acute illness, more frequent dosing may be necessary to support and rebalance your body on both a physical and emotional level. Diet, lifestyle and medical history may also play a role in how quickly a patient will respond.

Unless the product label provides any warnings to the contrary, it is safe to use your Homeopathic remedy while taking other drugs, herbs or supplements, as there are generally no known drug-to-drug interactions or contraindications. However, because Homeopathy works to support the body’s natural healing process, and many conventional drugs work to suppress the body’s healing mechanisms (like fever or skin rashes), a Homeopathic physician should be consulted for an individualized treatment plan. Some Herbs can antidote your remedy so make sure to consult your Homeopath for further assistance.

In general, it is recommended that you should refrain from consuming foods or drinks that contain strong aromatics or stimulants such as coffee and peppermint at the same moment you are taking your Homeopathic remedy so the two do not interfere with each other. An easy to follow rule is to simply wait 15 minutes before or after eating, drinking, or brushing your teeth.

A properly chosen Homeopathic remedy will not lose its effectiveness with frequent usage. You also need not to worry because they are safe and non-habit forming. For chronic conditions that require daily administration, the same remedy can be taken for as long as the condition warrants; these are situations that are best dealt with under the care of a competent Homeopathic Practitioner.

Most small Homeopathic tablets contain about 64 milligrams of lactose (the sugar from cow's milk - no protein is used) each, and larger homeopathic tablets contain about 250 mg of lactose each. While everyone is different, most lactose intolerant individuals would need to ingest 5000 mg of lactose before they experience symptoms of intolerance from the lack of enzymes. With this large margin of safety, there is rarely a problem with Homeopathic products when used as directed on the label. Homeopathic liquid remedies do NOT contain any lactose in it.
