The ABC Homeopathy Forum
Carob Powder
Since I have been taking homeopathic rememdies, I have avoided the known antidotes: chocolate, tea (anything with caffeine), mint, etc.What about carob powder? Can I use that in place of hot chocolate? It's unexpectedly cold and snowy here, and I thought it might be a nice treat to have something approximating hot chocolate. :)
Thanks for any advice.

You may have. I have never thought that many things are as problematic to homeopathy as others. Over 30 years I have tested all by giving remedies.
Camphor/menthol/vicks/pepermint seems to be the most suspect.
Remember to use homeopathy "between" eating and coffee, etc. I suggest no coffee/cafeine be taken at all as it rids the body of water faster than you can replace. A slightly dehydrated body will not be a happy body. Some sickness is not sickness, but dehydration.

Thank you very much, Sabra. By the way, my ND recommended barley drinks (Caffix, etc.) as a substitute for coffee, but I was never a coffee drinker to begin with.
As a general rule, I have been told to take homeopathic remedies at least five minutes away from food or taste. Also, I have totally avoided caffeine as a precaution, and I try to not to brush my teeth within 30 minutes of taking a remedy. I'm not sure if that's going overboard or not.
In any event, I appreciate your response!!
