Homeopathic medicine should be taken with clean pallet. While on a homeopathic treatment, try to avoid strong flavors such as coffer, mint or camphor.
The medication is normally taken as pills which you place under the tongue. Take two pills every couple of hours for the first six doses, and then four times a day for up to five days.
When taking these pills, you need to avoid contact with the skin (including fingers). Place a few pills into a cup and pour them directly into the mouth.
Stop taking the medication once the symptoms have dissipated.
http://www.emaxhealth.com just published a great blog and video talking about homeopathic treatment that I wanted to re-post in case people haven't seen it. It's really interesting and full of great info.
"Homeopathy is a form of alternative medicine first defined by Samuel Hahnemann in the 18th century. Homeopathic practitioners contend that an ill person can be treated using a substance that can produce, in a healthy person, symptoms similar to those of the illness.
According to homeopaths, serial dilution, with shaking between each dilution, removes the toxic effects of the remedy while the qualities of the substance are retained by the diluent (water, sugar, or alcohol). The end product is often so diluted that it is indistinguishable from pure water, sugar or alcohol. Practitioners select treatments according to a patient consultation that explores the physical and psychological state of the patient, both of which are considered important to selecting the remedy.
Claims for efficacy of homeopathic treatment beyond the placebo effect are unsupported by the collective weight of scientific and clinical evidence. Common homeopathic preparations are diluted beyond the point where there is any likelihood that molecules from the original solution are present in the final product; the claim that these treatments still have any pharmacological effect is thus scientifically implausible and violates fundamental principles of science, including the law of mass action.
While advocates point to positive results as evidence for its efficacy, the number of high-quality studies that support homeopathy is small, the conclusions are not definitive, and duplication of the results, a key test of scientific validity, has proven problematic at best. The lack of convincing scientific evidence supporting its efficacy and its use of remedies without active ingredients have caused homeopathy to be regarded as pseudoscience; quackery; or, in the words of a 1998 medical review, "placebo therapy at best and quackery at worst.""
Here's some info I got from http://nccam.nih.gov about the subject:
"The term homeopathy comes from the Greek words homeo, meaning similar, and pathos, meaning suffering or disease. Homeopathy is an alternative medical system. Alternative medical systems are built upon complete systems of theory and practice, and often have evolved apart from and earlier than the conventional medical approach used in the United States. A Homeopathy takes a different approach from conventional medicine. Medicine as practiced by holders of M.D. (medical doctor) or D.O. (doctor of osteopathy) degrees and by their allied health professionals such as physical therapists, psychologists, and registered nurses in diagnosing, classifying, and treating medical problems.
Key concepts of homeopathy include:
Homeopathy seeks to stimulate the body's defense mechanisms and processes so as to prevent or treat illness.
Treatment involves giving very small doses of substances called remedies that, according to homeopathy, would produce the same or similar symptoms of illness in healthy people if they were given in larger doses.
Treatment in homeopathy is individualized (tailored to each person). Homeopathic practitioners select remedies according to a total picture of the patient, including not only symptoms but lifestyle, emotional and mental states, and other factors."
Homeopathic treatment for yeast infection on skin -- some home remedies to try if you think you have a yeast infection.
Daub some apple cider vinegar in the areas that are likely to be infected. If you'd like, add some garlic to the solution. It will help stop the itchiness and the water will dilute the vinegar.
Mix grapefruit seed and olive leaf extract in a glass of water.
Drink blueberry extract and cranberry extract. They have plenty of antioxidants and prevent infections.
Dip a tampon in tea tree oil until it's soaked and then apply the tampon to the infected region.
