Homeopathic medicines can retain their potency for a very long time if they are kept in dry conditions and away from sunlight in a cool, dark place. They must be discarded if they get moist or change color for example if they go yellow. We prescribe medication for patients who will be out of postal contract for six months at a stretch, for example, because they are traveling abroad or are planning to spend extended periods at sea. Please remember that the medication must be kept away from strong-smelling substances like camphor, mint, menthol, strong oils, and perfumes. 

The problem per se does not recur after the treatment. A mild episode of a chronic problem can recur sporadically due to undue physical or mental stress. However, these episodes will be very rare and their intensity will be minimal. This is because the medication makes you capable of handling situations better and fighting your stress better. 

We can help in every acute situation very effectively and you will not need to resort to any other form of treatment. The medicines given at this time are fast-acting and can relieve you of any discomfort, pain, etc. Sometimes these episodes are very characteristic of the individual and help in understanding the long-standing complaint better. This enables us to help more effectively with the long-standing problem and the frequency of such acute episodes also reduces. We refer you to a specialist if there is a crisis situation that calls for this. 

You should find an improvement in all spheres:

• The intensity and frequency of your chief complaint. 
• Your general wellness: appetite, sleep, dreams, energy levels. 
• Your moods, temperaments 
• Your capacity to deal with stress, sensitive issues, and your overall mental state.   

In some cases, we see what is known as homeopathic aggravation. This is a good sign in the course of your treatment. At such times the symptoms intensify to a certain degree before the problem settles down completely. An old complaint that has been not taken care of might recur for a certain period of time during the course of the treatment. This is an important part of the healing process. Do not panic but inform your homeopath immediately. These symptoms will settle down completely. Sometimes a skin rash may appear during the course of the treatment. This is because as the treatment progress, the disease is thrown from a more important internal organ to a less important outer part like the skin. Patients may have recurrences of old skin problems like ringworm, eczema, boils, etc. depending on their susceptibility. These are an indication that the internal problem has been resolved and the general level of well-being is restored. The skin rash will also resolve in a short period of time. 

 Our medication can be taken on an empty stomach, after breakfast, after lunch, or at any time of the day. The only precaution is to keep the mouth clean for 15-20 minutes before and after the dose. This is necessary to allow proper absorption of the medication through the tongue. 

Avoid the use of any balms, ointments, and suchlike which contain camphor or menthol. These are known to antidote the effect of the remedy and help only by causing counter irritation and diversion from the pain. Avoid strong perfumes. You can continue drinking your regular tea and coffee if you already do so, but don’t take them up during the course of the treatment. Do not stop taking any allopathic medication on your own. These medications have to be tapered down under medical supervision. 

Any medicine that works has the potential for side effects. Homeopathic medication, if taken without the supervision of a qualified homeopath, can have adverse effects.

The reasons why what we prescribe for you will not have any no side-effects are as follows:

• The quantity is minimum. 
• The remedy is prepared by serial dilutions to liberate its healing properties, a process known as potentisation. Potentisation reduces the physical quantity while enhancing its potential. 
• The homeopath goes through a lengthy and painstaking process to find the remedy most suited to your entire personality. It is this intricate detailed Similarity between the patient and the prescription that removes the risk of side effects. 

This is not true!

Homeopathy can give quick effective results within 5 to 10 minutes in severe cases of gallstones, and renal and abdominal colic. It can bring down your temperature in just 10 minutes in case of high fever and works effectively for chronic conditions such as arthritis, skin allergies, or asthma which have affected the patient for 15 or 20 years. The remedy will need to be given for six months to a year to treat the problem effectively.
