Question 1

i am not a doctor and if i self administer wrong homeopathic remedy after reading symptoms online. will 2 drops three times a day for a month harm?, provided the wrong remedy is selected and i fail to match symptoms closely..no benefits.but any harm?

Accepted Answer

Nobody knows, but...: Truly homeopathic "medications" are made by repeated dilutions, so that the ingredient is not really in the medication anymore (just the "essence" of it remains). That means there is no active ingredient left to cause any benefit. However, that also implies that the homeopathic "medicine" should be pretty harmless. Other non-homeopathic ingredients are often added and may have scents and flavors.

Question 2

could homeopathic products ever expire?

Accepted Answer

It depends: It depends on what you mean by "homeopathic products."  if they are genuinely single homeopathic remedies (not mixtures) made by a reputable homeopathic pharmacy, they will last indefinitely. Intense heat -- and sometimes xrays ; MRI scans -- can inactivate them. Homeopathic remedies differ from botanical ; nutritional supplements, which do expire and which some people mistake for "homeopathic.".

Question 3

are any homeopathic pain remedies effective?

Accepted Answer

No: In my opinion, no !  unless it is the "placebo effect".

Question 4

what is homeopathy?

Accepted Answer

System of thought: This is a largely independent system of medical thought that originated in the US shortly after the American Revolution. While the original idea focused on low doses of a substance having opposite effects from a high dose, it has evolved into a complementary system of caring for the sick. Some say the key to its effectiveness is in the relationship with the practitioner. Won't cure cancer.

Question 5

what is the point of homeopathy?

Accepted Answer

Homeopathy: The point of homeopathy is to restore the sick to health in the most rapid, gentle, and permanent way possible.  The intent is to remove the illness completely -- providing relief from symptoms harmlessly, and with comprehensible principles.  This is done by perceiving the patient's problem accurately, and prescribing a single medicine that matches the symptoms and catalyzes healing.

Question 6

what is homeopathic nux vomica 30c?

Accepted Answer

Useful remedy: There are over 2000 homeopathic medicines but nux vomica is easily in the top 10 in terms of popularity. 30c refers to the potency (each remedy is available in different strengths- 30c is intermediate). For acute use some will do better with 12c, some with 30c. Nux is widely used for nausea, indigestion, hangovers and clearing reactions to foods or drugs that don't agree with you. See comment.

Question 7

can homeopathy medicine control bp?

Accepted Answer

Yes, esp. combined..: Homeopathy can help most health problems, including hypertension, but will work far better combined with diet & lifestyle changes. And "help" is a key word- it often helps but is not always a cure. Treatment is highly individualized. An excellent article that discusses homeopathy for BP in context is: http://www.Alive.Com/articles/view/20015/take_the_pressure_off_hypertension_with_homeopathy.

Question 9

can a homeopathic overdose kill you?

Accepted Answer

No: There are no reports of any deaths from homeopathic medications.

Question 10

how can i take homeopathic medicines?

Accepted Answer

Homeopathy: Some take homeopathic medicines for acute, self-limiting conditions (cough, sore throat, earache, etc) by consulting homeopathy books and using remedies bought in health food stores. "homeopathic self-care" by the ullmans is a helpful guide. For chronic conditions you really need a professional homeopath who can assess your case ; work with you to find an effective remedy out of thousands.
