The ABC Homeopathy Forum
Restrictions during the treatment
Hi! I will like to know if this restrictions are only when i`m taking the medicine (40 min before and after)? or, during all the period on which i still under the influence of the medicine?Restrictions:
1/. Nothing should enter the mouth for 40 minutes prior to, or after taking the remedy.
2/. Do not touch the tablets with your hands, tip them into the cap of the container they came in and then into the water .
3/. Avoid coffee, tea (including green), and other sources of caffeine such as some fizzy drinks and large amounts of chocolate, except where this would cause a drastic change in consumption
4/. Avoid wearing perfume/aftershave, or exposure to anything with a strong smell while under treatment. This includes any and all essential oils, and incense.
5/. Avoid the consumption of excessively spicey foods
6/. The use of medicinal herbs, either as 'teas' or supplements should be AVOIDED during Homoeopathic treatment, as should the use of over the counter medication, unless this has been recommended by an MD.
7/. Nothing of a medicinal nature should be applied to the skin
Thank You!

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
There are no set rules on all of this.
1. You should not touch the pills , tablets, bc the remedy is sprayed on them and
can easily come off.
2. Coffee itself is a remedy and for some people it seems to antidote the remedy.
Some homeopaths prefer that you do not drink coffee on the days of the remedy.
Some prefer you stop coffee till you are cured. Some say it makes no difference.
I have seen a lot of cases that were going fine and the person drank coffee and the
remedy stopped working. They took another dose and the remedy worked again-
and this has gone on with people getting dental work, or having some peppermint,
or using a product with camphor.
But for some people, none of the above has any bad effect on the remedy.
It is not caffeine that is doing this-You can have tea, but should not be taking
strong medicinal herbs tea without telling your homeopath.
Putting medicinal creams on the skin, suppresses skin symptoms that need
to come out . Strong perfumes and smells can have effects also on sensitive
persons.
I think all of this depends on the patients sensitivity level bc I have also seen
remedies work mixed into food and drinks etc where no restrictions were there.

this is very confusing , I take my doses with only 10 min before or after eating
I regularly eat 100% or 85%cacao content chocolate
I drink four cups of green tea in a day I'm using cologne and also regularly take whey protein
I'm avoiding all oils specially lavander but that's about it

There is nothing wrong with whey protein unless you are allergic to dairy-
and same for chocolate and green tea. I would myself also avoid the essential oils.

thanks Simone,
Fitness also has the same stance.
I'm a bit skeptical on sports supplements . I occasionally take the amino acids
l-arginine
BCAA
l-glutamine
N-A-C
and I have a feeling it's working against my treatment
thanks

I think you feel they are working against you bc you don't have a good reason
to take them, other than you think it may help you. I have taken things myself
like that, thinking it would be good bc someone at the gym or health store said
it was good, and my body did not have a good reaction-I stick with good food
since then and medicine only when I am not well.

1. It makes absolutely no difference if anything enters the mouth before or after a homoeopathic medicine.
2. Touching the pillules does not affect the remedy. Sensitive patients (and practitioners) may react to just touching them, but it does not affect the medicines themselves. This is only to guard you from accidentally receiving a dose through touch alone. If you immediately take it into your mouth, there will be no problem since you are already taking the dose.
3. As Simone says, some people are unusually sensitive to coffee, but in and of itself it does not interfere with genuine cure. Those people who may need to alter their coffee intake are those people who get strong symptoms (positive or negative) from taking coffee. Most of my patients drink coffee, and they still get long lasting cure of their conditions.
4. Perfumes and strong smelling substances do not affect a genuine curative remedy. This is an old superstition.
5. Spicy food does not affect a genuine curative remedy. It may not be particularly good for certain individuals based on their specific sensitivities, but our medicines are not affected.
6. Generally speaking taking other medications should be avoided as long as it does not put the patient's health at risk. The biggest problem is when herbs are used to palliate symptoms we are trying to cure with homoeopathy, or to palliate the reaction to the remedy itself.
7. As a general rule, topical applications of anything should be avoided since this suppresses skin conditions and causes them to go deeper into the person.

I have read that in the mass produced pills that the remedy
is sprayed on to the pills then they are left to dry where
the alcohol evaporates and that touching them can disturb
the amount of remedy on the pill.

The sugar takes on the vibration, just like water does. So you cannot remove it by touch. Sugar is used to store remedies precisely because it is more stable than water and does not lose the remedy signature as easily as water does. In fact sugar can hold on to the vibration of the remedy for a hundred years or more.
