Top 10 Precautions to be Taken While on a
Homeopathic Treatment-
As homoeopathy cannot be generalized,
the precautions taken while on the homeopathic regime cannot be generalized
either. Every condition needs specific precautions to be taken that vary with
the constitution of the patient, his/her physical / mental problems and the medicines
taken at that time. That’s why along with our all prescriptions, we give
certain auxiliary regimen to follow for different patients, which help them
immensely along with the main course.
However, there are some guidelines that go
with almost all the patients that seek homeopathic treatment. Herewith you can
see some of the important pointers in this regard—
1. Take your homeopathic medicines exactly
on the suggested time. As far as possible, maintain the same timing if you have
been asked to take medicines daily.
2. If the doctor has suggested you to take
“Single Dose”, NEVER take more than one dose, thinking what single dose is
going to do. High potencies or even medium potencies when taken in excess of
what is required have enough potential to harm you in the long run, if not
immediately.
3. Never go beyond the suggested deadline
before you visit or write to your doctor. If the doctor has asked you to take
the medicine for 15 days and report later, you must do it soon. If you cannot
report after 15 days, you may stop your medicine before you report to him but
do not continue the same medicine beyond stipulated time period.
4. If a dose of medicine is suggested in
the morning immediately after you get up, do not brush your teeth before you
take the dose. Just rinse your mouth with PLAIN water and take the dose, as
strong smelling toothpaste or mouthwash may interfere with the action of the
remedy.
5. As far as possible, leave gap of at
least 20 minutes before and after taking the medicine and have your eatables /
meals.
6. In most of our patients, we do not
suggest abstinence from coffee garlic etc, unless the indicated medicine
demands it. But try to avoid all strong smelling eatables before or after
taking the medicines immediately.
7. Chew the medicated pills slowly. Longer
they remain on your tongue, better is their action through the sentient nerve
endings on the tongue.
8. The homeopathic globules should not be
touched with hand as far as possible. Take them directly in the cap of the
bottle and put on the clean tongue.
9. If you forget to take the DOSE of the
medicine suggested to be taken tonight for some chronic condition, you can take
it the next day at the suggested time. But do not take it the in the morning
the next day. The timing of the medicine is suggested depending upon the
medicine’s miasmatic background and the ‘best time to administer’; so maintain
the time.
10. NEVER give the entire bottle of the
medicine in your kids’ hands. Most of the kids love the sweet homeopathic
globules and have the habit of taking more globules than required, which is no
doubt a very harmful practice. Beware of the guidelines suggested by your
doctor and give the medicine to your child yourself. If the child takes some
extra doses of the medicine unknowingly, inform your doctor and do as he
suggests.
