FAQ: Can you recommend a remedy for...

Prescribing homeopathic remedies must take a large number of factors into account, and we can not therefore give advice by email. In order of preference, we recommend:

1. See a professional homeopath. We publish a short list in our directory, and your national homeopathic association will be able to give you more.

2. If you are not able to see a professional homeopath, our online homeopathic remedy finder suggests remedies for the symptoms you enter. Remember though, it works primarily by symptoms, not conditions. i.e. for a cold, enter "headache + runny nose + sneezing + cough" rather than "cold".

3. Finally, you can send a message to our forums appealing to homeopaths for help. Give the most specific description of your condition that you can

If you choose not to see a homeopath, please remember that the information you receive should not be taken as a substitute for seeing a medical professional. If symptoms persist, consult your doctor.
