Homeopathic medicine is safe for anyone to use. It can make traditional medicines unnecessary. However, if you are on other medications from a conventional doctor or undergo a major surgical procedure such as cheap liposuction you should definitely let your doctor know about your homoeopathic medicine and not stop taking the medicines prescribed to you without your doctors approval.
Homeopathic medicine is based on the idea of a single medicine being used to treat all of the symptoms. Some medicines are available with more than one ingredient in the pill. The thought is that doing so allows more people to take the same pill and experience relief. While this may work for you, you may experience problems from taking the other medicines with the correct medicine. Using a single medicine is not only more effective, but it also helps eliminate potential problems with the other ingredients.

While general standards exist concerning the dosage of medicines, not every homeopath agrees on one dosage and one strength for any one medicine. In truth, the dosage and potency greatly depends on the patient, the diagnosis, and the medicine being used. Many homeopaths will prescribe higher doses for chronic symptoms and lower doses for acute symptoms, but the actual dose and strength prescribed will vary from person to person.
Homeopathic medicine often comes in a pill form that is placed under the tongue. These are best taken with a clean pallet, so stick to bland flavors during the treatment. Avoid strong flavored foods like mints or coffee that can clog the pallet.
Your homeopath will tell you for how long you should take the medicine. Only take it for that length of time or until all the symptoms are gone. If the same exact symptoms return, ask your homeopath whether you should come in for a re-evaluation or begin the treatments with the same medicine again.
