To use homeopathic medicines more effectively, it is IMPORTANT to know that these natural medicines work most effectively when they are prescribed based on the sick person's unique pattern (or syndrome) of symptoms, not just the “name” of their disease.
Secondly, homeopathic medicines are not like vitamins or herbs. Generally, it is not necessary to take them every day (except when instructed to do so by a competent homeopath). Sometimes, only a couple of doses a day for 1 to 3 days is enough. The idea is to take as little as possible but as much as necessary. Remember, these remedies are “catalysts” to your body's self-healing capabilities.
