PLEASE DO NOT START ANY NEW TREATMENTS IN THE FIRST 6 WEEKS AFTER TAKING YOUR NEW REMEDY

 

AVOID THE FOLLOWING:

Avoid using at least until we have found the medicine that works for you. After that, you can choose to experiment to see whether the following substances are compatible with homeopathy* 

 

• Electric blankets.

     This does not include heating pads or water bed heaters.  If you like, you may                      warm your bed with the electric blanket and then turn it off.

 

• Dental work.

        Drilling, novocaine and ultrasonic cleaning may interfere with homeopathy. We                    can suggest the best timing of non-emergency dental care.

​

• Some conventional medications.

        Please contact us before taking antibiotics, steroids, or other medications taken                 internally or applied topically.  In many cases, we can suggest natural alternatives               that will not interfere with homeopathic treatment.

 

• Some procedures/therapies such as MRIs and therapeutic ultrasound.

        X-rays are fine.

 

• Magnets

 

• Any other homeopathic medicines, except in first-aid situations.

        In acute illnesses, please consult with us before using any other homeopathic                       medicines in any form.

 

* If you think your medicine has been disturbed by these substances or exposures: Unless you are really suffering, please wait a week before calling us. In some cases the medicine will begin to act again. If not, please call to let us know.
