shelf life of Homeopathic medicines

Hi every one:

Do the Homeoptahic medicines have shelf life. I usually buy them in liquid form when I am in India and have pellets and make them as needed in US. Some of the medicines are years old. SOme one in India told me that the pellets have a shelf life of few months and liquids a year or so. Do they lose potency after some time? How about the biochemic salts, do they have shelf life too?

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
There is no other way than by using them to see if they work.How else can you measure shelf life?

If you keep them in dry, dark place, closed tightly so there are no odors coming to them I think they would last indefinitely!

It probably makes no difference if they place is well-lit - I have no idea (and frankly I do not think anybody does).

Odors and humidity spoil them, not because of grerms etc - it is energy medicine and energy doesn't care much about germs- but because energy is scattered using these carriers. Besies, the carriers we normally use (waer with alcohol or milk sugar for pellets) get spoiled after a while.

there is no way to correct my numerous typos, hope you can still read it. Sorry!

What I meant by shelf life was that like allopathic medicines they have an expiry date. DO homeopathic medicines also expire? You answered it that if stored properly they go indefinitely. I keep them in a separate cabinet, no odor etc. They are in their original bottles. How about tissue salts, do they expire?

Allopathic drugs are material = often created through the chain of chemical reactions under special conditions (e.g. under nitrogen to shield them from oxygen) - this influences how srtable the active ingredient is. Some are unstable (like for example hormones or enzymes) some are very stable like for ex. aspirin. The way they come up with exp. date: after, say 5 years of storage they check for content of active ingredient, if it is 100 % they write expiration in 5 years. (although it may still be 100% in 10 years).

Tissue salts are very simple and very stable compounds.
I see no reason why they also can't be kept indefinitely in dry place.

(as far as I know though nobody analyses them after storage. No outside company analyses them at all, but if you trust the vendor, if e.g. silica is there, it is going to stay there for ever).

' I keep them in a separate cabinet, no odor etc. They are in their original bottles.'

I think it is perfect.
