Top 10 Common Homeopathic Remedies!

The best way to learn about homeopathy is to experience it directly. Many homeopaths came to homeopathy in the first place through a positive experience of using a remedy in a first aid situation. So we wanted to give you some top tips to put together your own remedy kit to use in first-aid situations for yourself, friends and family.

All homeopathic remedies are listed here are most effective when they are prescribed for the unique syndrome of symptoms the sick person has, not just the name of the disease s/he has. Because of the need for this degree of precision, the more a person knows about homeopathy on how to select the individually determined remedy, the better results they will get with homeopathic remedies.

If you have a chronic or complicated condition it is best to see a qualified homeopath rather than trying to treat it yourself. Homeopaths will take into consideration many other factors which cannot be done in a first-aid situation.

Of course it’s important to say that you should always consult your physician in case of serious illness or injury.
