Dean and Melanie Creedy combine more than 50 years experience of exploring, using and creating essences and vibrational medicines.

“I was interested in essences from as early as I used homeopathy” says Melanie. “Dean and I went to a centre for essences in the UK over 25 years ago; shell essences, tree essences, sea essences, essences from Iceland and Canada, all the various Australian essences, you name it they had it. It sparked the idea to one day create some of our own and from there not only do we have the current WyldChyld Essences and Soul Harmonics, but we created a Millenium Essence on 1/1/00, a set of Angel Harmonics and have individualised essences for clients to use in their own practices.”

After our tree change to Tasmania in 2007, where we had 15 acres of land to play with, we planted a beautiful garden and orchard and once the garden grew we had the source of our essences, the clear air and the time.

From an environment of clear air, pure water and gentle energy, we have created a wonderful and powerful range of vibrational essences. This was our dream for many years, but we had to grow the garden first in order to create the first stage – the flower essences!

We followed the process laid out by Gurudas, the master of essence making, and the results speak for themselves. We now offer you a range of Essences which stand out from the crowd in potency and effect. A range which according to those who have tried them, bring amazing insight and gentle change.

WyldChyld Essences

The WyldChyld Essences were created with the intention of assisting the new generations of children to cope with life. They combine flower essences (grown and made in the garden at Wyldwood) with the gentle energy of the plant world, crystal essences with the mineral energies that so resonate with the 21st century, plus we’ve added the resonance of colour to make the perfect vibrational energy needed for a variety of life’s situations!

As a busy homeopath, Melanie sees many people in her clinic who find the world they live in a wild place!

. . . in a good sense with the wild and cool things that are happening in technology, music, science and social media.

. . . in a challenging sense with bullying, lack of boundaries leading to lack of security, fear through media exposure, high levels of competition and the expectations that are put upon them.

. . and finally in an environmental sense with overstimulation from TV, internet, computer games, constant mobile phone contact and media in general, noise pollution, EMFs from electronic gadgets, toxins, processed foods, vaccination and so on.

Soul Harmonics

The Soul Harmonics help balance, guide, integrate, process, progress and support work on the spiritual path. These are vibrational essences created through Source for supporting on your Life Path. For more information check out the blog on the range and their uses.

Sometimes people can feel completely overwhelmed by life and just need to take a pill and chill! Often it’s difficult to work out what they need in the way of medication, a homeopathic remedy or from a naturopathic or chinese medicine perspective. They just need something to help them become centred and balanced quickly, gently and effectively.

Melanie considers both the Soul Harmonics and the WyldChyld Essences to be a “pill” for modern life: gentle, natural, subtle, nurturing.

Both ranges can be used by any age and some people may feel more drawn to the beautiful energy of the WyldChyld Essences, whereas those walking the spiritual path may resonate with the Soul Harmonics.

Choose your own essence from our range or request a consultation and we will select for you.

How to use our Essences

The comment we’ve received most often about our essences is how powerful they are.

We therefore suggest that you start out with a single dose of 7 drops for an adult (2 for a child) and see what effect it has before you start to give on a regular basis.

Let your child choose their essence themselves where appropriate. Not only is this the most accurate way of choosing an essence, it can provide insight into what is going on for them.

If you resonate with an essence, try it!

Essences can be given to any age and can be used during pregnancy if you want to start work before baby arrives!

What is the dose?

The dose for your essence is 7 drops (2 for a child).

Take drops straight on the tongue, put into a water bottle or rub onto the crown of the head, pulse spots, soles of the feet.

As above, give a single dose and wait a day or two before dosing regularly.

The sprays can be used personally – spray over the crown (avoiding the eyes!), create a mist and walk through – or as a room spray. Spray in the corners and let the energy do the rest, allowing you to create boundaries, clear space and bring harmony.

Don’t be concerned if you find your child (or yourself) working through a whole range of essences. We all have much work to do and you will know what is appropriate and when. Embrace the process.

Keep a diary! It can be insightful for you as a parent and for your healthcare practitioner to see what happens with the essences.

While you could combine the WyldChyld Essences, they are not designed to be used in this way as they are complete in themselves . . . but don’t take my word for it!

Care of your Essences

Store away from direct light & heat, strong smells (such as essential oils) and electrical appliances such as mobile phones and microwaves.

If the dropper comes in contact with the mouth, rinse with boiling water to avoid cross contamination.

If in doubt as to the appropriateness of an essences to a particular situation, contact us at Elements of Health. We have a wide range of essences, both single and combinations (harmonics) and a consultation could provide you with something perfectly appropriate.

If symptoms persist contact your healthcare practitioner.

We are currently dispensing our remedies in organic German sucrose. This looks different to the pilules we have used in the past and sometimes they may appear wet. This is not a problem either with quality of the remedy or clumping.

Sometimes people ask why the remedies are made from sugar or sucrose.

Pure sucrose is the traditional carrier for the homeopathic remedies themselves and is used globally by all homeopathic pharmacies. Sometimes pilules are made from lactose or milk sugar, but we only use sucrose in our dispensary.

Pilules can come in different sizes – as small as a poppy seed and as big as a headache tablet! We have chosen size 3 pilules because we find this suits most people.

The sucrose in a pilule is a tiny and pure dose of sugar, in our case German organic sucrose.

The positive action of the remedy on the immune system is stronger than any potential negative action of this tiny amount of sucrose.

It has been used for decades, possibly more than a century, and when the remedies are “proven” (ie given to healthy people to determine the curative action) it’s undertaken with the sucrose as part of the process, meaning we know the action of the sucrose as part of the remedy.

In the store you can choose whether you want your remedies in sucrose or in an alcohol based mix (the other traditional carrier). This is personal choice as they both work the same. Some products are only available in one or the other depending on what you are buying.

We like to keep it traditional because we know this is how the remedies work best and the information in our homeopathic materia medica for many remedies is based on sucrose as part of the remedy.

Using sucrose as the carrier also gives the product a longer use by than the drops and is much better for things like travel kits and remedies you carry with you in your bag.

Much like pharmacy medicines, a preservative is a necessary part of homeopathic remedies, particularly in warmer climates. Many products, including herbs and flower essences, have an alcohol base and these products are regulated by the TGA.

This small amount of alcohol is also an integral part of the action of a homeopathic remedy, ie how it works, and while some practitioners and brands have chosen to change to other preservatives, with our homeopathics at Elements of Health we want your remedies to work as intended and we can’t guarantee that will be the case if we change from the traditional format.

The alcohol in our remedies is as low as permissible – a mix of 15% grape alcohol and 5% brandy (for taste) – but high enough to stop your remedy growing floaties if someone touches the dropper to their mouth and puts it straight back in the bottle.

Vegetable Glycerin

Many brands and products (mainly herbals and medications for kids) are changing to glycerin as a preservative.

Glycerin is a sweet, syrupy liquid that is derived from vegetable or soy bean oil, coconut or palm oil, and similar but produced in a way that creates a type of sugar alcohol.

It’s not as shelf stable as higher quality alcohol, so a much higher percentage is required in the product as a preservative.

Glycerin (aka glycerol) is produced by heating fats/oils under pressure or with a strong alkali, causing it to split from fatty acids. Sounds a bit nasty to us!

Below is a useful discussion I came across recently about alcohol in products for children, in this case in relation to herbal tinctures which typically would have a higher concentration of alcohol in the formulation than a homeopathic remedy.

Do note their comparison between the amount of alcohol in a herbal tincture and in a glass of apple juice!

“A question that we frequently receive is whether alcohol based tinctures can be used for children and the answer is yes – in very small doses at the parents’ discretion. “Typical doses of herbal medicines for children aged 6–12 years contain 0.07–0.18 g ethanol, which is equivalent to, e. g., 31–75 ml of apple juice (with an ethanol content of 0.3 %), and is eliminated from the blood within 1–3 min. These doses lead to a maximum blood ethanol content of 0.008–0.015 g/l, calculated under assumption of the worst case scenario.” (Reference)“

Is it ok to give drops to a baby?

Of course, as a homeopathic it is fine to give drops to a baby at any age, right from birth, as long as you follow the dosages below and stick to the recommendations on the product and on the label.

The amount of alcohol per dose is small, particularly for babies and children. For example 20% of one drop is the amount ingested for a baby under 6 months old.

To maintain the integrity of the product, do ensure that if the dropper touches the mouth it is rinsed in boiling water before returning to the bottle.

See below if you would like to dilute your liquid remedies or use as a spray.

Dose for liquid remedies

1 drop for under 6 months of age

2 drops for under 12 months

4 drops for over 12 months

Using your drops as a spray

We now stock sprays that fit our 25ml, 30ml and 50ml brown bottles so that you can also use any drops you may have bought as a spray applied to the wrists, soles of the feet or top of the head.

One spray is sufficient for a dose.

This is a great option for using your home remedies, but I do not generally recommend if we are doing a constitutional (individualised) prescription. In this case we will discuss options for potency of the remedy and the best format for your child.

Diluting the Remedy

If you are concerned about giving the drops to a baby too often, you can reduce the alcohol further as follows:

• Put your drops in 1/4 glass of water
• Stir vigorously with a teaspoon (this activates the remedy in the water)
• The water is now your remedy
• Give 1/2 teaspoon (0-12 months) or 1 teaspoon (over 12 months) and repeat for each dose

What if I can’t have alcohol?

If you cannot have alcohol for personal reasons, you can purchase most remedies in sucrose pilules, the other traditional format.

Reference: Alcohol vs Glycerin

As you may have heard on the grapevine, some single homeopathic remedies are made from animal material, but we do offer ways around this if you are vegan.

You can read the blog about vegan remedies here if you are interested or concerned and it will give you a good understanding of how, for example, one honey bee (which likely had already passed away) was used as the base for not just all the remedies dispensed from one pharmacy for decades, possibly up to a couple of hundred years, but that one honey bee may have also been the basis for remedies in other pharmacies. No loss of species from homeopathy!!

We know how you feel though, having been very strict vegetarian and then vegan (but not as strict vegan as a Jain!) for more than 20 years, and can provide you with a vibrational remedy made on our potentising machine instead of a pharmacy-made remedy.

When you’re buying, any single remedies which are of animal origin have an option for a vegan version within the Single Remedy Category in the store. There is a small additional fee as these have to be made by hand.

You can be assured that our Combination Remedies do not contain animal material, due to the special way we make them.

We no longer stock books, other than the small home prescriber book as they can often be purchased reasonably cheaply on Booktopia or Amazon and often are available for Kindle.

Personally, my favourite author for home prescribers is Miranda Castro. You can see all her great books here.

Her Homeopathy for Pregnancy, Birth, and Your Baby’s First Year was an absolute lifesaver when I was a first time mum way back when!

---

Miranda’s Complete Homeopathy Handbook is another old favourite, with lots of useful general information, materia medica of the remedies and a repertory at the back where you can look up symptoms!

---

Andrew Lockie’s book below is an oldie but a goodie. My favourite book until it became unavailable. Looks like it’s back on Amazon.

If you’re interested in homeoprophylaxis and after more information; Kate Birch and Cilla Whatcott’s book entitled Homeoprophylaxis; The Solution, is a good read with heaps of details. I’m not going to say more than that here due to regulations!!

The Solution; Homeoprophylaxis

This is a great little home prescriber book for people who are new to homeopathy. Written by a mum, not a homeopath.

Can homeopathics be taken with over-the-counter medicines, naturopathic products, supplements, herbs and other traditional treatments?

Homeopathic medicines have not been known to interact with other products and can be taken in conjunction with other medications and products as they are not generally contraindicated.

Traditional therapies and supplements may complement homeopathic treatment, however, do discuss with your homeopath or other healthcare professional to ensure that this is appropriate in the context of your overall treatment plan.

Because homeopathy works differently to pharmacy medicines it will not generally interact with conventional medicine or other complementary medicines and supplements.

However, if you are taking medicine from your doctor it is always best to consult your homeopath before use or if you are unsure, and it is usual to advise your doctor or specialist that you are using homeopathy.

Always read the label, use only as directed and if symptoms persist contact your healthcare professional.

I sometimes get emails about homeopathic remedies such as Belladonna or Aconite, which people may know are made from poisonous plants. We do seem to use a lot of seemingly toxic substances in our medicines, but the way we make our remedies is key in being able to use them without any concerns.

You wouldn’t want to buy or use some of these substances in a herbal form, because yes, some of  them are toxic in these material doses, ie as a plant.

However, because of the special way homeopathic remedies are made, Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), the body who looks after our medicines in Australia, views them as low risk when prescribed according to homeopathic principles.

These substances have been used in homeopathic form for over 200 years so we know about their action when prepared in this way and you can be assured that at Elements of Health we comply with minimum potencies (dilution) to make sure your remedies are not going to be a problem for your babies and small children.

If you have any further questions on this, do send us an email!

There really is no difference between giving drops or pilules in home use. It is a personal preference based on, often, the age of the child.

Drops can be easier for a baby.

If you want to give to a sleeping baby, a pet or an unconscious wild animal (ie one of those birds that has flown into the window!) you can just rub on the head, on the gums or on the wrists. Any of the pulse spots will do and the remedy will work.

A 25ml bottle of drops and a 10g bottle of pilules contain a similar number of doses.

How long do homeopathic remedies last?

Our pilules are manufactured by the Pharmaceutical Plant Company (PPC).

Under TGA regulations, products of this nature require an expiry date to be included on each vial and to be stated on the outer package.

The expiry date relates to the pilule batch as manufactured by PPC, rather than the homeopathic medicine of which the pilules are the carrier only.

We suggest keeping your pilules in a stable environment as far as possible and, from our experience, they will remain effective for years beyond the stated expiration date.

Please do your own research on this topic as there are differing points of view.

Do however note that we always recommend updating your homeoprophylaxis (HP) and ImmSafe remedies once they are out of date, to ensure they work as they should when you need them to.

Remedies prepared as drops are subject to the influence of the rubber droppers. After a time the remedy becomes tainted by the dropper, becomes unpalatable and is likely contaminated. We recommend not keeping liquid remedies beyond the expiry date on the label for this reason.

How to store your homeopathics

• Store remedies away from strong smells, especially camphor, eucalyptus and essential oils.
• Avoid high heat where possible but do remember that homeopathics survive well in countries like India and Africa.
• Do not store in a refrigerator, on top of your microwave or near your modem or mobile phone.
• Keep remedies in a cool, dry, low light area and avoid leaving in direct sunlight.

A note on x-rays and EMFs

Many people ask about the x-rays which are part of travel and the postal system, and also EMFs which are part of life.

We now live in a web of these electromagnetic and low-level frequencies. It is impossible to avoid, especially during travel and if items are being sent through the mail.

Avoid having them go through the x-ray machine when you travel by all means. They can be hand inspected in many places without any issues, but this is becoming harder and harder to do.

We personally haven’t experienced or heard of any issues with remedies being exposed in this way, so feel you can rest assured that your remedies will still work when you need them.

There is a whole blog about homeopathic remedies and their vibrational (energetic) properties in this paragraph!

This information will give you general guidance on how to use these two interchangeable products, how often and what to do in some specific situations.

Continue scrolling for the relevant instructions if you’re about to travel, for example.

We tend to update these particular products every couple of years, relative to what is happening in the Northern Hemisphere during their winter. If you order from the store, you will always receive the most current version of the product.

The remedy may be used even if you’ve had a recommended jab, to give additional support.

You can check out Get Prepped, read the additional product information and order here in the store.

More about Get Prepped (Cold, Flu, YKW Support) & Travel Prep (Immune Support for Overseas Travel)

Some individuals seem to come down hard with colds, flu and other acute illness, and each season seems a little worse, so immune support is becoming more vital. In 2020 we had a new global situation arise and our latest versions of these products continue to cover this, plus give general support.

As always the best advice is good hygiene, good nutrition and quick action with your homeopathics. Usual government directives also apply. Always see your GP if symptoms persist or are unmanageable at home.

General Immune Support

Homeopathy offers support and management in these minor but sometimes intense states. Further information can be found on the website on remedies for winter ailments and also for latest strains relative to our health experiences from 2020 on.

Through the winter months you will find our latest suggestions in a post pinned to the top of the blog.

How to Use – Get Prepped & Travel Prep

Get Prepped – in times past we only needed to recommend Get Prepped during winter or for travel. These days there seems to be never-ending illnesses hitting, in particular, families with children and older people. We now tend to recommend year round support with the remedy when there is something circulating in your local environment and during any travel where you will be mixing with others.

In addition to providing support, the remedy can be used to manage symptoms should they arise.

Travel Prep – this is the same remedy as Get Prepped, so you don’t need both. See the notes below Support For Travel for “before” and “after” doses, which are the most important instructions when you are travelling via plane, train, cruise ship, etc.

How to use GP and/or TP as a support remedy

1. Take once a fortnight through winter if health is generally good
2. Take weekly for individuals who are prone to colds, flu, etc or where risk is high
3. Give weekly to new babies, children in childcare or just starting school
4. Also give to the rest of the family!
5. For travel, particularly overseas or on a cruise, see our specific Travel Prep remedy and instructions, or read below

If you believe you’ve been a close contact:

If you’ve been in contact with someone who has come down sick, take the remedy once a day for 3 days then revert to weekly until you see whether you develop symptoms.

What to do if you or someone in the family comes down sick:

Support the patient – give GP or TP 3 times a day for 3 days alongside other well indicated homeopathic remedies and supplements.

Support the family – If someone in the family comes down with a cold or flu, give once a day for 3 days to everyone else as a support remedy until you see if symptoms develop.

Support for Travel

1. For travel (domestic or international) start GP or TP 3 days before departure with doses once a day, continue to 3 days after arrival (ie 6 days in total).
2. Repeat as above on the return journey. We do find the return journey doses are the most critical.
3. Take GP or TP weekly through your trip as an immune support.
4. If symptoms arise follow instructions above.

How long should I continue taking?

Duration is as long as you need to use it.

These days it would likely be ongoing if you are exposing yourself to sick people.

In years gone by we would use during winter and then stop in summer, but since covid there is always something going around.

With a baby or child, you’ll have to decide if you feel their immune system is strong enough to not need to take the remedy on an ongoing basis.

This will to some extent depends if they are vaxed or not, as this determines their level of susceptibility.

Suitable for use in babies and small children. If in doubt consult your homeopath or healthcare provider.

Always read the label. Use only as directed. If symptoms persist see your healthcare provider. This information does not replace appropriate medical advice and care. Homeopathy is a traditional medicine. It may be used alongside conventional medicine. The remedies are effective when used in accordance with the homeopathic indications. If in doubt as to their appropriateness to a particular situation, consult your health care provider

All our single remedies are made by specialist homeopathic pharmacies.

We generally buy from Australia (Martin & Pleasance) but may also purchase from New Zealand (Simillimum) or the UK (Helios), depending on what it is we need.

Pharmacies may have different remedy lists because sometimes they have a special interest or work with a homeopathic clinic with a special interest. They may make new remedies, which are unique to their pharmacy, and in turn these remedies may be shared with other pharmacies.

Many of our base remedies have been in existence for decades, and some may be as old as 200 years or more. This is because the pharmacies themselves may share their source material in a form known as a “back potency”, so that the source material becomes more widely available.

Sometimes the original source material of the remedy is unknown because remedies are often passed from pharmacy to pharmacy over time.

Remedies are made according to guidelines laid out in the British or United States Homeopathic Pharmacopoeias.

Due to the way remedies are made, a process known as dynamization (succussion and dilution), there is none of the original substance remaining and they are rendered non-toxic and, according to the TGA, “low risk” only because regulations now prohibit us from saying they are “safe and effective”!

• Tip 1 pilule into the lid of the bottle or onto a clean metal teaspoon. Don’t touch with your fingers.
• Crush the pilule to a powder between two clean teaspoons.
• Tip the powder into the mouth.
• Don’t worry if you don’t get it all to go in, as long as you can see the powder is in the mouth.

If giving in pilules isn’t working but that’s all you have …

• You can pop 1 pilule in ¼ glass of water and stir vigorously with a teaspoon to activate the remedy.
• It won’t dissolve and it doesn’t need to. The water is now the remedy.
• You then give 1 teaspoon (or 1/2 teaspoon in babies under 6 months) as your dose and tip the rest away.

Change can be subtle such as a child falling asleep or seeming a bit brighter or it can be instant with fever reducing, tooth pain or tummy ache resolving.

Sometimes the improvement is very quick, other times it may take hours or a number of days depending on the symptoms you are managing. You will know that something has changed if the remedy is right.

You can read more in our post on this topic here.

If symptoms persist always see your homeopath or visit your ED or GP.

You’ll find a few variations of this answer through the FAQs, depending on how you’ve searched.

Homeopathic remedies can be given to any age group, including newborns and can be used during pregnancy. Always check with your homeopath that this is appropriate for your own situation and keep your GP/specialist informed. Always seek medical advice for fever in a child under six months old.

Remedies do not generally interact with other forms of medication and can be used alongside paracetamol and other drugs, but if you are in any doubt consult your homeopath or your medical professional.

If you are anxious about giving pilules whole, crush between two clean teaspoons and tap a little into baby’s mouth.

If you find pilules difficult to administer, put 1 pilule in 1/4 glass of water. Stir vigorously and give 1 teaspoon as the dose.

For animals and birds, remedies can be made up as above and if unable to give by mouth, drop on the beak, top of the head or other area where the remedy can contact the skin.

Minimum dose

We try to give the least number of doses required to stimulate the body to bring about improvement in symptoms. This might be one dose only – which can often be enough for improvement to take place –  or 3 times a day for 3 days, or once a day for a week. Dose is individualised to the person and the situation.

Size of Dose

This is actually fairly irrelevant because homeopathy is about the quality of what you give, rather than quantity, but as a guide:

• 0-6 months – 1 drop
• 6-12 months – 2 drops
• Over 12 months – 4 drops
• 1 pilule for babies and toddlers  (pilules can be crushed for babies)
• 1 or 2 pilules older children and adult

Frequency of Dose (How often)

We want to give just enough to stimulate the body to do the job, so if your remedy works brilliantly with the first dose, you don’t need to repeat unless the symptoms appear to be coming back again.

This is the first principle of homeopathy, however, continue reading below if you are new to using homeopathics.

This is my step by step guide if you’re not sure what to do

Please note that products should have individual suggestions on the label and also in their product description on the website. Do read these as some products don’t need to be taken very frequently, eg Probiotic Kefir only needs to be taken once a day over a period of time.

The information below is a general guide for using remedies during acute illness such as fever, headache, etc.

The suggestions apply to a 6c or 30c potency.

If you are using a 200c, then less doses will be required as it goes deeper.

You can step into these instructions at the point that is appropriate to the situation you are treating.

For example if your situation is not particularly bad, start at step 4, which is good when you suspect something is brewing, but you’re not really sure. This is going to apply to things which are not very acute, ie not painful or intense, and you know you are not going to need to hurry them along because they are going to take days or even weeks.

Remember to stop if your remedy works really well and let the body do its thing. Give another dose if things ramp up.

If your remedy is not working you might need a different remedy or you might need to contact your homeopath or other healthcare provider.

Here goes …

For very acute situations (ie very unwell and symptoms are strong, mum is anxious!) you could give a dose every 10 minutes for up to five doses, then reduce as per the steps below if things are improving. Always check in with your GP or ED if this is the picture and your remedies are not working quickly. You can give paracetamol or ibuprofen if you need to.

1. For acute symptoms dose hourly for the first day, 2 hourly the second day if improving and 4 hourly on day 3.
2. Then continue once or twice a day if you still need to give a remedy after this.
3. For less acute symptoms, ie come on slowly and will probably go slowly, give 3 or 4 times a day for 3 days.

You can put the drops or 1 pilule in a child’s drink bottle for school.

If symptoms persist always see your homeopath.

Do not touch the remedies with your hands. Roll pilules into lid of the container and drop under the tongue. Remedies are absorbed in the mouth, so allow to dissolve there if possible. The remedy will still work if this is not possible due to age or condition.

If remedies are spilled, do not return them to the bottle as they will be contaminated.

If required, crush one pilule between two clean teaspoons when giving to an infant or baby.

If you are using drops and the dropper touches the mouth rinse under boiling water before replacing in the bottle.

Always replace a broken bottle. Don’t attempt to tape or otherwise save the remedy.

Don’t reuse your empty bottles for other remedies, as that bottle will always retain the energy of the previous remedy. You can reuse if you microwave bottle and lid in a bowl water for 10 minutes.

How to store your remedies

• Store all remedies and essences away from strong smells, especially camphor, eucalyptus and essential oils.
• Avoid high heat where possible but do remember that homeopathics survive well in countries like India and Africa.
• Do not store in a refrigerator, on top of your microwave or near your modem or mobile phone.
• Keep remedies in a cool, dry, low light area and avoid leaving in direct sunlight.

There is a whole blog about homeopathic remedies and their vibrational (energetic) properties in this paragraph!

Arnica/Chamomilla 30c

This combination is suitable for supporting a child who will undergo laser therapy for lip, cheek or tongue tie.

Arnica – For bruising, shock, bleeding, pain relief.

Chamomilla – pain, unsettled, inconsolable.

How often

Give twice on the day before the procedure to prep the system.

Then give 4 x a day until symptoms have settled, up to one week.

Size of dose

1 drop for under 6 months of age

2 drops for under 12 months

4 drops for over 12 months

Where?

Drop inside the bottom lip and away from any wound.

If that’s not possible, you can drop on the crown of the head or the wrists and it will work the same.

Interactions with conventional medications

Homeopathic remedies work in a different way to pharmacy medicines and interaction is not an issue.

If pain persists and other pain relief is required, give as per the directions on the bottle.

Check with your surgeon, GP or homeopath, as appropriate, if you have any questions or concerns.

Alcohol in Remedies

Much like many pharmacy medicines, alcohol is a necessary inclusion as a preservative and also as an integral part of the action of a homeopathic remedy, ie how it works.

The alcohol in our remedies is as low as permissible (10% grape alcohol, 5% brandy) and the dose (see below) is tiny.

To maintain the integrity of the product, do ensure that if the dropper touches the mouth, it is rinsed in boiling water before returning to the bottle.

If it is deemed necessary to reduce the alcohol further, you may do so as follows.

Diluting the Remedy

• Put your drops in 1/4 glass of water
• Stir vigorously with a teaspoon
• The water is now your remedy
• Give 1/2 teaspoon (0-12 months) or 1 teaspoon (over 12 months) and repeat for each dose

This product is for practitioner-only dispensing due to regulations, so these instructions are relevant only if you have purchased this product through the clinic.

Mossie Mix 30C

We dispense in a 30c potency if you are going on a standard holiday (2-4 weeks)

1. 10 days before your trip (if time permits) or before entering a high risk area, take 3 doses of Mossie Mix in 24 hours (1 pilule per dose 3 times)
2. If you don’t have the timeframe above, take the 3 doses 1-3 days before you travel
3. If you did step 1, 3 days before you travel take 1 dose again
4. Then take weekly through your trip
5. Finally, take once a week for 2 weeks when you get home
6. You might find the doses all join up and you just take the remedy weekly

Mossie Mix 200c

We dispense in a 200c potency if you are going on a longer holiday (4-6 weeks plus) or you live overseas or in a high risk area (see below).

Sometimes we will dispense in a 200c for older kids going on a school or other trip unaccompanied by a parent, just for ease of use. This way they don’t need to take the remedy while away, just the doses on returning home.

For a longer holiday, ie you will return home afterwards

1. 10 days before your departure (if time permits) or before entering a high risk area, take 3 doses of Mossie Mix in 24 hours (1 pilule per dose 3 times).
2. If you don’t have the timeframe in step 1 above, take the 3 doses 1-3 days before you travel
3. If you did step 1, 3 days before you depart/enter your high risk destination take 1 dose again
4. After your initial 3 doses you can then take one dose every 2 or 3 weeks to top up your cover
5. Finally, if you are returning home or leaving the high risk area take once a week for 2 weeks

If you live overseas or in a high risk area

On receipt of your remedy take 3 doses of Mossie Mix 200c in 24 hours (1 pilule per dose 3 times). This primes the system to recognise any of the mosquito borne diseases and act.

Then you will take the remedy once a fortnight (every two weeks) during the season or as required.

Bugg Off

If you have someone who is very susceptible to bites, Bugg Off can be taken daily for a month or two to build the system, plus B vitamins can be helpful.

Suitable for use in babies and small children. If in doubt consult your homeopath or healthcare provider.
Always read the label. Use only as directed. If symptoms persist see your healthcare provider. The information in this or any other Elements of Health flyer does not replace appropriate medical advice and care. Homeopathy is a traditional medicine. It may be used alongside conventional medicine. The remedies are effective when used in accordance with the homeopathic indications. If in doubt as to their appropriateness to a particular situation, consult your health care provider

Homeopathic remedies can be given to any age group, including newborns and can be used during pregnancy. Always check with your homeopath that this is appropriate for your own situation and keep your GP/specialist informed. Always seek medical advice for fever in a child under six months old.

Remedies do not generally interact with other forms of medication and can be used alongside paracetamol and other drugs, but if you are in any doubt consult your homeopath or your medical professional.

If you cannot choose between 2 remedies, alternate them rather than give together (see below). This is for those of you who prefer single remedies to combinations.

If you are anxious about giving pilules whole, crush between two clean teaspoons and tap a little into baby’s mouth.

If you find pilules difficult to administer, put 1 pilule in 1/4 glass of water. Stir vigorously and give 1 teaspoon as the dose.

For animals and birds, remedies can be made up as above and if unable to give by mouth, drop on the beak, top of the head or other area where the remedy can contact the skin.

Remedies made up in liquid generally will not last as long as pilules and can be more easily contaminated if the mouth touches the dropper.

Remedies can be subtle in their differences so sometimes it may be a close choice between two remedies. You can either give them separately – try one for a few doses, then the next – or you can alternate them – give them 10 or 15 minutes apart.

Minimum dose

We try to give the least number of doses required to stimulate the body to bring about improvement in symptoms. This might be one dose only – which can often be enough for improvement to take place –  or 3 times a day for 3 days, or once a day for a week. Dose is individualised to the person and the situation.

Size of Dose

This is actually fairly irrelevant because homeopathy is about the quality of what you give, rather than quantity, but as a guide:

• 0-6 months – 1 drop
• 6-12 months – 2 drops
• Over 12 months – 4 drops
• 1 pilule for babies and toddlers  (pilules can be crushed for babies)
• 1 or 2 pilules older children and adult

Frequency of Dose (How often)

We want to give just enough to stimulate the body to do the job, so if your remedy works brilliantly with the first dose, you don’t need to repeat unless the symptoms appear to be coming back again.

This is the first principle of homeopathy, however, continue reading below if you are new to using homeopathics.

This is my step by step guide if you’re not sure what to do

Please note; products should have their individual instructions on the label. So also read these as some products don’t need to be taken very frequently, eg Probiotic Kefir only needs to be taken once a day over a period of time.

The information below is a general guide for using remedies during acute illness such as fever, headache, etc.

You can step into these instructions at the point that is appropriate to the situation you are treating.

For example if your situation is not particularly bad, start at step 4, which is good when you suspect something is brewing, but you’re not really sure. This is going to apply to things which are not very acute, ie not painful or intense, and you know you are not going to need to hurry them along because they are going to take days or even weeks.

If your remedy is not working you might need a different remedy or you might need to contact your homeopath or other healthcare provider.

1. For very acute situations (ie very unwell and symptoms are strong, mum is anxious!) you could give a dose every 10 minutes for up to five doses, then reduce as per the steps below if things are improving. Always check in with your GP or ED if this is the picture and your remedies are not working quickly. You can give paracetamol or ibuprofen if you need to.
2. For acute symptoms dose hourly for the first day, 2 hourly the second day if improving and 4 hourly on day 3.
3. Then continue once or twice a day if you still need to give a remedy after this.
4. For less acute symptoms, ie come on slowly and will probably go slowly, give 3 or 4 times a day for 3 days.

You can put the drops or 1 pilule in a child’s drink bottle for school.

If symptoms persist always see your homeopath.

This quick reference refers to our Immunisation Support Pack available in the store. For best results through the immunisation process we suggest you request information on our ImmSafe Program which is a more robust and specific form of support for these times.

What’s in your Immunisation Support Pack?

1.  SVC Combination (previously named Safe Vacc Combination)

This remedy is derived from those remedies traditionally used in this situation to support and educate the immune system.

This is a combination of remedies I had been using in my clinic for more than a decade until it became clear this was not as robust as it needed to be, given the number of needles children are now having.

Give twice a day starting on the day before the needle and continue for one week after.

2.  Immune Boost

Our Immune Boost remedy combines those homeopathics traditionally known for their powerful immune boosting effect. As a homeopathic remedy it is particularly easy for children to take as the dose is small and the taste not unpleasant. Can be used during acute illness but do not use continually.

Start one week before and give once a day for up to one month or as required following immunisation.

3.  Probiotic Kefir 6x

Prepared as a vegan homeopathic remedy from Probiotic Kefir, a well known and much used natural probiotic, this remedy promotes and stimulates balance and recolonisation with good gut flora, rather than just supplementing. It may enhance the action of other probiotic products.

Start one week before and give once a day for up to one month or as required following immunisation.

Vegan: Probiotic Kefir is a vegan remedy due to the way it is prepared in the dispensary.

Best results for poor gut function and other health issues will always be achieved by consulting with your homeopath for individualised remedies to support the whole person and address any underlying issues and susceptibilities.

Note: You may combine two of the remedies if easier, but best not to combine all three. This allows the immune system to work best with the remedies without being overwhelmed.

Homeopathy is low risk when prescribed according to homeopathic principles, making it generally appropriate for use with babies of all ages, while breastfeeding and during pregnancy. However, it is always best to consult a homeopath about your own situation if you are unsure and always maintain contact with your doctor or specialist.

If you are new to homeopathy we recommend a short complementary consult if you want to order homeopathics from our online store during pregnancy, to make sure what you are ordering is appropriate for your situation.

Always read the label, use only as directed and if symptoms persist stop the homeopathic remedy and contact your healthcare professional.

Homeopathy is often termed “placebo” because of the misunderstanding about what it actually is and how it works (See ‘Why is homeopathy called energy medicine?’ in the FAQs).

There have been enough studies done to show that homeopathy is not placebo, but a low risk, gentle but powerful system of medicine. It has changed peoples’ lives where other forms of medicine have failed to bring benefit, and it works on babies, animals and plants, who are not susceptible to the concept of placebo.

A study undertaken by the NHMRC in Australia in 2014 went out of its way to disprove homeopathy and sadly is still being quoted by sceptics and those who don’t want homeopathy to continue as a modality. The study has been shown to have been a corrupt and flawed process which went out of its way to hide solid homeopathic research by manipulating the data and the criteria. The homeopathic associations in Australia and homeopathic bodies worldwide have come together and are awaiting the outcome of an independent review.

A good place to look for solid science is the website of the Homeopathy Research Institute in the UK.

Customers often ask if our remedies are gluten free or if there is a risk of contamination.

Our pilules are organic sucrose and made by a specialist manufacturer in Germany.

Our alcohol and brandy (the components of the drops) are made by a specialist distillery in SA and they have told us both are gluten free.

Many people these days have issues with gluten and we haven’t been made aware of any problems in nearly 20 years of having a store.

In our clinic we have had a lot of coeliac patients and many who are gluten intolerant over the years, and again no issues with dispensing remedies in either format.

Any questions drop us a line via the contact page.

Homeopathy is about quality and not quantity; energy and not substance.

Tiny doses to stimulate the body’s own healing ability.

Nothing nasty in a remedy at the potencies we dispense through our store, hence TGA define homeopathics as low risk.

This effectively means that one pilule or one bottle is going to be the same in terms of action, although on a rare occasion this quantity of the sucrose pilules may cause an upset tummy or perhaps a hyper child!

We select the remedy to fit the person and their symptoms, so a randomly selected remedy, while perhaps having an unexpectedly positive outcome (ie things get better), won’t make anything worse or produce symptoms that a child has not had before.

From my perspective, a remedy which is incorrectly selected (or grabbed from a pack or benchtop) bounces off as it doesn’t fit/match the picture of the individual. Bit like a square peg in a round hole.

I get this worried message all too often and while this is no kind of medical emergency, it is a reminder to keep your remedies out of reach of children.

Hand-making remedies since 1992, Melanie Creedy trained in the precision art of making homeopathic remedies with John Morgan of Helios Homeopathic Pharmacy in the UK, one of the world’s best known and top pharmacies. This skill and high level of understanding has been passed on to each and every dispensary assistant over nearly three decades, so you know we know what we’re doing!

All our base remedies (aka medicating potencies) are purchased from the best homeopathic pharmacies in Australia, New Zealand and the UK, and prepared according to European Homeopathic standards so you know they’ll be effective.

In our purpose built dispensary we are required to comply with TGA Good Manufacturing Practice regulations.

Our pilules

Our pilules are best quality 100% organic sucrose, which is the traditional carrier for homeopathics. We’ve tried a few brands over the years and most recently purchased German-made pilules from HSC in the UK.

• Pilules are available in 10g organic sucrose and contain approximately 100 doses

Our liquid remedies

Our liquid remedies are made up in Tasmanian spring water (quality assured) with 15% grape alcohol (food grade, gluten free) and 5% brandy (gluten free) as a preservative. This is necessary, particularly for orders going to warmer parts of Australia and again is the traditional liquid carrier for homeopathic remedies.

We’ve chosen not to dispense in anything apart from the traditional carriers (alcohol and sucrose), knowing that this ensures your homeopathics work according to the homeopathic materia medica information.

Our liquid remedies are available in 30ml and 50ml bottles.

• 30ml drops is approximately 120 doses at 4 drops per dose

• 50ml drops is approximately 200 doses at 4 drops per dose

You have the option of adding a spray fitting if you’d prefer this to a dropper. Sprays are available in the store.

Glass or plastic

While our glass bottles may add a little to the weight of your kit, we have chosen not to use plastic containers as we believe plastic is incompatible with maintaining the quality and longevity of your homeopathics. With the current discussion around microplastics in our entire system, we stand firm by our decision to only ever dispense in glass.

Quality

We believe the quality of our remedies is of the paramount importance and our clients assure us they can tell the difference from other suppliers’ products.

We don’t have room to list all remedies and potencies we hold in our remedy bank so if there is something you want but don’t see, please email us to check if available.

We have an extensive remedy bank and can supply a wide range of common remedies but do bear in mind we are a clinic and dispensary rather than a homeopathic pharmacy. TGA has also laid down regulations around what we are allowed to dispense to the general public.

What’s the highest potency do we dispense?

We do not dispense potencies higher than 200c in the store, but will dispense above a 200c if you are a homeopathic practitioner or we have a written request from your registered homeopath or naturopath. Prices may differ from those in the store.

Some of our kits are made up individually when you order them. This does mean that occasionally there may be a slight delay if you have placed a large order.

If you place an order for a Pick Your Own Pack and list the remedies you require without specifying a potency, we will automatically send you the remedy in a 30c.

This is a natural way to rehydrate if you don’t want to do Hydralite or similar products.

Coconut water can also be useful.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
• 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 2 cups water (filtered or purified or raw coconut water)
• 2 tbsp organic raw honey or organic maple syrup
• 1/8 tsp Himalayan Pink salt I like Himalayan better – it has 84 trace minerals

Instructions

• Put all ingredients in a blender and blend well. Don’t have a blender? You can add all ingredients to a large pitcher and stir well until the honey and salt has dissipated into the water. 
• Store in Mason jars or reusable glass cap bottles.

This is a question I’m asked pretty frequently and my answer is generally as follows.

We live in a web of EMF/EMR and other types of frequencies. Our remedies are subjected to all the time and there is no avoiding this.

Check through luggage will generally be scanned at the larger airports.

Carry your remedies in your hand luggage by all means.

No, you don’t need to wrap your remedies in foil and if you do they will be picked out by the airport scanning as suspicious.

If you choose to take them out of your hand luggage and ask for them not to go through the machine, they will usually be tested for explosives – yes really!

To knock out the action of a remedy, the frequency they are exposed to would need to be identical to the resonant frequency of the individual remedy/ies so unlikely to match or to be an issue.

I have a kit which is 20+ years old and the remedies still work fine after multiple trips and frequent scanning. I also have a mini kit in my handbag with my mobile phone – same, same.

Homeopathy is a medicine for the future, like all vibrational medicines, and should stand up to the trials of our modern life.

I was trained in the UK where, at that time, using a combination remedy was considered a crime by homeopaths! When I set up in practice in 1998 I realised that it took a lot to explain homeopathy and some people just didn’t have the time or the desire to find out how to do single remedy prescribing.

How challenging is it to have a sick child in the middle of the night and have to read through a materia medica (homeopathic guide) to pick a remedy, when you can just give Panadol?!!

I wanted to offer a simple way to access homeopathy for busy families and so I looked at combination remedies offered by companies around the world, and in particular in Germany where they are very popular, and I started to try out some of my own formulations with clients.

Combination remedies are such an easy way for people to start out and from using a combination remedy people get the understanding of how well homeopathy can work. They might progress to single remedy prescribing or they might not, but they may also progress to having a consultation and changing their health and their lives.

The purists undoubtedly say the remedies in the combination negate each other, they won’t work or they may even cause suppression, but in my experience over 20 years, this is not the case at all.

What I believe happens is that the body works with the resonance of the indicated remedy, so it’s usually only one remedy in that combination that works for the individual. The body chooses. This is all just energy. If you put 3 remedies in a bottle they don’t become mixed up, they are still 3 single remedies!!

Combination remedies can be a great way to start out using remedies and they can be a very convenient way of taking a minimum of remedies travelling and for non-homeopathy users to easily pick what to give from your kit.

There’s no shame in using combination remedies and they often produce quick and reliable results, as feedback from customers keeps affirming.

There are many myths about homeopathy and one is that they are affected by EMFs, such as airport x-rays and other scanners.

I always point out that we live in a web of EMFs with wireless and bluetooth in our homes, workplaces and shopping centres and of course on our phones, which we carry with us at all times! Airports and planes are full of these frequencies too, so no different to the rest of our world.

After 35 years of using homeopathics personally, travelling extensively with them and generally handling them badly, I’m convinced that remedies are much more robust than we imagine.

Homeopathics are a form of vibrational medicine and each remedy or combination has its own unique resonant frequency. Some may resonate at the particular frequency of an EMF from something man-made such as a scanner, microwave or smart TV. They are also often x-rayed or scanned in the postal system. Possibly there may be some random frequencies that can knock out the action of a remedy but really unless it is a frequency that is quite specific to matching or negatively affecting your particular remedy, I think it unlikely to be a problem and have not seen it in practice.

Some people ask if they should get their remedies hand scanned at the airport, rather than leaving them in their hand luggage and passing through x-ray. If you hand over your kit so it’s not x-rayed it will likely be swabbed for explosives; at least that’s what they always did before covid.

I tend to advise not handing them over (and this may also depend on what country you are in) and just leaving your kit in your hand luggage to go through the scanner. It won’t matter greatly, and may save some aggravation.

And yes you could wrap it in aluminum foil which some people suggest, although I don’t feel it’s an issue.

If you are travelling anywhere in Europe or the USA it really shouldn’t be an issue as they are familiar with homeopathics. If you are travelling somewhere that you perceive may be an issue we have a letter we can provide to go with any remedies you have purchased from us, advising what they are and how they should be handled.

Homeopathy is not the same as naturopathy, nor is it aromatheraphy, reflexology, supplements or herbs.

Homeopathy is a complete system of medicine which stimulates the body to work harder to overcome the symptoms naturally, basically it enhances the body’s own healing mechanism (immune system) to work harder to overcome the current symptoms.

Homeopathic medicines stimulate the system to return balance and with that balance, health. This can happen on the physical level in the case of a cold or sore throat (acute illnesses) or headaches (chronic illness if recurrent), or on the mental/emotional level in the case of stress or mild anxiety, or where a physical problem actually stems from an emotional issue.

Here’s the longer answer to this question.

Homeopathic remedies can be made from almost anything on the planet.

Generally for home prescribing we use remedies made from the animal kingdom (eg bees), plant kingdom (eg Belladonna, Aconite or Monkshead, Pulsatilla, Arnica) and the mineral kingdom (eg Arsenicum, Mercurius, Silica).

Of course there are many other remedies made from substances from all the other kingdoms as well as from many of the toxins that we are exposed to in our world, but that is usually a question for your homeopath.

We supply the animal based remedies in a vegan format for those who prefer not to ingest any animal material. These are made on our vibrational potentiser machine and carry the resonant frequency of the material, rather than a physical substance. Any animal remedy will show vegan options in the store.

All combination remedies, eg Cold & Flu, Bad Head, Colic are non-vegan due to the way we produce them.

The actual remedy ends up in a liquid form, a bit like a herbal medicine, but it’s gone through a special process which makes it low risk and non-toxic.

This liquid or Medicating Potency, as we call it, is then added to the carrier – in our case sucrose, an alcohol mix or a cream base.

We use traditional carriers for all of our products and have sourced the best base ingredients we can find to give you the best results.

Homeopathic Pilules

The carrier for our homeopathic pilules is organic sucrose manufactured by a company in Germany, who specialises in this product.

These are sucrose, not lactose, and of course are gluten free.

Liquid Remedies & Essences

Our liquid homeopathic remedies (both combination and singles), as well as our oral essences are made up in 15% grape alcohol (gluten free), 5% brandy as a flavouring and Tasmanian spring water. This is a traditional carrier for homeopathics and the mix is similar to other brands of flower essences and similar.

We’ve chosen not to use other carriers, eg glycerine, because we don’t believe it maintains the original energy and authenticity of the homeopathics in particular.

You can check out dosages for babies and read about the use of alcohol in homeopathics elsewhere in the FAQs.

Creams

Our creams are made up in a vege base cream manufactured by Pharmaceutical Plant Company in Victoria.

The base is a fragrance free, light, non greasy, all purpose cream specifically formulated to care for all skin types, even those with sensitive skin.

This gentle formula supports repair of irritated, dry, flaky and rough skin.

Vege Base Cream is made from pure plant derived ingredients.

• No animal products or testing
• No artificial ingredients
• No perfumes
• No propylene glycol

Gentle enough to be used as a moisturiser for baby on nappy rashes. Useful after shaving and for after sun care. Perfect for cleansing and make-up removal. Ideal for gardeners.

Ingredients: Water, Vegetable Glycerine (Plant derived), Cetylstearyl Alcohol (Plant derived), Caprylic/Capric triglyceride (Plant derived), Coconut Oil, Cetomacrogol (Wax), Phenoxyethanol, Nipastat

Potency indicates how many times the remedy has been diluted and succussed (banged) when it has been made by the pharmacy.

For home prescribing use 6x, 6c or 30c – the same frequency of dose as directed for any of these potencies. These potencies are also the most available and should be effective in the majority of cases.

Higher potencies (ie 200c, 1M, 10M) will need less doses and are only sometimes required in acute prescribing. Usually these potencies will be prescribed by your homeopath and are not generally dispensed by a homeopath or pharmacy for home prescribing, although we do have some 200c potencies in our store.

If you are unsure what to buy, go for the 30c as this is what we call “a good mid-range potency” and should help whether you are managing a cold or an emotional upset.

We use traditional carriers for all of our products and have sourced the best base ingredients we can find that give you the best results.

Homeopathic Pilules

The carrier for our homeopathic pilules is organic sucrose manufactured by a company in Germany, who specialises in this product.

Room Sprays

Our room sprays are made up in lemon myrtle floral water from New Directions.

These are not suitable for oral use.

Do not spray in the eyes or on skin/other materials without patch testing first.

Only change the remedy if the symptoms change and the remedy doesn’t seem to be working anymore.

If you’ve given five doses 10 minutes apart or five doses over a few hours and nothing has happened at all, consider changing your remedy or call your homeopath. Be aware, however, that change can be subtle!

To support and help resolve symptoms of the big ‘W’ Cough which is currently doing the rounds.

Due to TGA regulations if you wish to purchase please email us via the contact page for link and password.

Note the instructions: give 1 or 2 pilules twice a day for up to 7 days. 

Stop if symptoms improve dramatically after any dose.

If symptoms persist contact your healthcare practitioner.

The remedy can and should work reasonably quickly which is why we suggest you stop/reduce as symptoms improve, a sign the immune system is doing its own thing.

We recommend using alongside our homeopathic Immune Boost combination which will help bolster up the whole system. You can give once a day for 2 or 3 weeks.

Homeopathic remedies work best when they are individualised, ie the remedy matches the whole person and not just their symptoms. We look at and help the whole person – mental, emotional and physical. We get better results looking at our patient this way than just treating their physical symptoms alone. Sometimes there are remedies that will treat everyone like Arnica for bumps and bruises and often Chamomilla will work for teething babies, but when they don’t, you know you need a different, more unique remedy.

We’ve always said homeopathy is about physics and not chemistry, and we now know it’s quantum physics we’re looking at.

This puts the action of homeopathy in a whole different ball park to conventional medicine, which is why medical professionals often can’t get to grips with it.

If you try to look at homeopathy like a pharmaeutical medicine or a naturopathic supplement then you are never going to understand the power of it.

Our remedies are made by a process of succussion and dilution. Dilution is the part where many sceptics roll their eyes and declare that homeopathy can’t possibly work because now there’s nothing in it but water! But the succussion (or banging) is the process which releases the energy inherent in the substance – it becomes dynamized or dynamic, it now has a measurable resonant frequency.

When I first started using homeopathy in the mid 1980s, we really didn’t have a concrete idea of how a remedy worked, but modern technology is beginning to identify homeopathic remedies as containing nano particles of the original substance. If you take your remedy to a pharmacist for testing in a laboratory they won’t pick up any physical substance because the remedy has been diluted so many times and the particles are so small. What we need to do – and there are now a couple of ways to do this – is to test the substance for energetic frequency or for nano particles.

Quantum physics has shown that we are working with an energy or resonant frequency – not necessarily a physical substance – and there is still discussion even amongst homeopaths about the mechanics of action. Even though we know the particles are there, they’re pretty minute, so its action within and on the body must be different than the larger doses we use in conventional medicine and supplements.

I find the explanation of our remedies as each having a unique resonant frequency fits with what I see in clinic. The human body is energetic, with a distinct electrical system; homeopathy is energy medicine and can be measured as such on the appropriate equipment. The remedy acts as a stimulus to the immune system to encourage it to bring balance.

By matching the frequency of the remedy to the frequency of the pathogen or negative energy we need to address, we can help negate the symptoms or state.
