HOW DO YOU GIVE A HOMEOPATHIC REMEDY?

General Directions for All Remedies:

  • Make sure to give the remedy in a NEUTRAL MOUTH – 15 minutes before or after food.
  • Do not worry about how many pills or how many drops to give.  It does not matter.
  • Frequency is most important, which is how often the remedy is given.  Homeopathic remedies are not like antibiotics that have a milligram dosage. The homeopathic remedy’s strength is based upon the ‘potency’ (e.g. 6x, 30c, 1M) not the number of pills or drops.
  • If you use perfumes, essential oils, scented candles and/or shampoos, this may antidote your animal's remedy - please be aware of this.

 
Administering Liquids:
*  Place one or two pills in a clean dropper bottle (do not use bottles that had herbal tinctures in
   them), fill with distilled, reverse osmosis or spring water.  Let the pills dissolve.  Succuss the
   remedy (hit the bottom of the bottle against your palm) 10 times - do this each time you give the
   remedy.  Then give a few drops (it doesn't matter how many) directly into the animal's mouth.
*  If you touch the dropper on the mouth of your pet or on yourself you can contaminate the 
   remedy.  Rinse it under hot water for a few seconds before returning it to the bottle.

*  OR place one or two pills in about 1/8 cup of water or milk (cow or goat) or half and half.  Stir
   vigorously for 15-30 seconds, then give a few drops or let your pet drink the mixture.
*  When pills are added to water or milk and mixed vigorously, the imprint of the remedy goes into the
    water/milk.  It is not necessary nor is it harmful to drink large amount of this mixture
 
Administering Pills:
*  Do not touch the pills.
*  Do not worry about how many pills to give.
*  Place one or two pills directly into the cap, open the animal’s mouth and pop them in. 
   Hold your pet’s mouth shut (gently) for a few seconds.
*  If the pills are large, place pellets in between a piece of folded paper, crush them with a
   rolling pin and then funnel them into the animal’s mouth (they cannot spit out the fine
   granules).
 
HOW TO HANDLE REMEDIES:
*  DO NOT store near electrical fields such as stereos, microwaves, electrical outlets or computers.
*  DO NOT store in the refrigerator or areas of excess cold.
*  DO NOT store in the sunlight or in areas of excessive heat.
*  DO NOT store next to herbs, spices or other substances with strong odors such as camphor.
*  DO NOT store in hot or cold automobiles.
DO STORE IN NEUTRAL CABINET OR DRAWER!
