Homeopathic Dosage Information

For Powder/Infusion:

One "dose" for both adults and children can range from 1/4 teaspoon up to 1 Tablespoon and more. At times powder can be mixed with water causing it to be "infused".




For pilules or granules:

One "dose" = one or two pilules or enough granules to cover a small fingernail area. Simply dissolve one or two pilules on the tongue. Pilules are most often bought in the form of lactose (milk sugar) which has been impregnated with a solution of the named remedy. The granules are great for babies and small children as they dissolve more quickly and are more difficult to spit out.




For Solution Form:

Remedies sold in solution form in small glass vials have screw tops. This is a great alternative to those allergic to lactose (used in pilules). Put one or two drops directly on the tongue. Be sure to disinfect the dropper between uses.




Ointments:

These are for topical application only. Some are available as mother tinctures, for mixing with water to make lotions for bathing, gargling, etc. As a general rule, 10 drops of mother tincture to 0.25 liter (1/2 pint) of boiled cooled water are sufficient.

Once the symptoms of any condition disappear there is ABSOLUTELY NO REASON to continue with the remedy.
