Giving homeopathic granules to babies and children

Homeopathic granules should be dissolved in 100ml of water. Granules take a long time to dissolve, so it's best to prepare your mixture in advance.

Homeopathy and pregnancy

Homeopathic medicines have no chemical toxicity, no contraindications, no interaction with other drugs, and no adverse effects linked to the quantity of product ingested. Pregnant women can use homeopathic remedies without any known risk to themselves or their unborn child, but it is advisable to seek advice.

Frequency of homeopathic use

For acute conditions, homeopathic remedies should be taken every hour until symptoms improve. From then on, they should be taken 3 or 4 times a day, spaced out, and then gradually stopped.
For chronic conditions, low-dilution remedies (> 9CH) should be taken 1 or 2 times a day, while basic remedies should be taken once a week, or even once a month. This decision is left to the homeopath.

What to do if there is no improvement within 24 hours

Certain pathologies cannot be treated with homeopathy simply by self-medication. Their seriousness requires medical advice, which can be given by a homeopathic doctor. This doctor will judge whether your condition can be treated with homeopathy alone, or whether your treatment needs to be supplemented with allopathic medicine.
