Advice on homeopathy i purchsed online

Hi i was wanting to copy a formula that i used to get premade from Natures Sunshine and it was simply called ALLERGY. This company stopped making it so i have had to try to get people to make it up for me a few times but practices change and homeopaths move on. I decided to buy the individual ingredients online and make it myself since i worked for a herbalist/iridologist/homeopath years ago and used to mix whatever he told me to. I ordered the ingredients on this website byronat in australia but then i realised there are different potencies. I got distracted and didn't ask anyone before ordering. I thought i ordered the CM potency of each herb and it turns out maybe i didn't. Not that i fully understand the CM thing. Is it 100,000 strength? Anyway homeopathics is not my field i am more of an amateur herbalist of 30 years. So the bottles i finally did receieve say the name of the herb and the number 30....does that mean 30mils of 30 as the strength? It is night time here so i can't ring the people i ordered from and i have a couple of full days no where near a phone so i thought a forum might be a good place to find out. Anyone got any advice for me? Thanks

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
There are a couple of mistakes you are making here.

Firstly, and most importantly, homoeopathy should only ever be used with single medicines. The whole industry that has grown up around combinations is a perversion of our homoeopathic philosophy, and you run many risks using several medicines at once.

Secondly, you would NEVER use CM potencies. Such high potencies are rarely used, and only is extremely rare situations.

30c is the potency of the medicine, which tells you how many times it has been diluted and succussed - 30 times basically. 30c is a much more appropriate potency to use for first aid situations.

Since our medicines can have fairly signficant side effects, the more remedies you use together the more likely you are to get them, and the more complicated such reactions will become.

OK i understand but the formula works. It is the only thing in 49 years of my life that has worked for my hayfever so the ingredients are right. I think now that i didn't order CM potencies. Don't ask me how mut it seems unlikely after a discussion last night with a couple of people. I am unfamiliar with what succussed means. On the original bottle of Natures sunshines product most of the ingredients have listed 6x next to them. I have attached an image of the bottle and can list the ingredients if you wish. Anyway will ring byronat the company today to find out more information if i can :0)

If you have to keep taking the formula, then from a homoeopathic viewpoint it is not curing you it is palliating you. That is also the risk of taking combinations - since it is unlikely any of the remedies are chosen according to our principles, the best you can get is palliation of the symptoms (which eventually can become suppression).

Homoeopathic cure doesn't require constant management. Needing to redose frequently is usually considered a sign of the wrong remedy.

When I have cured hayfever in patients, all they needed was a few doses of the correct medicine, and their condition rarely relapsed. On occasion when they came in contact with a particularly strong trigger they may experience their symptoms again, but the same remedy would put them right and this became less and less likely to happen.

You have to remember, that it is not our medicines that set us apart from orthodox medicine, it is the whole approach and philosophy underpinning homoeopathy.

Succussion is the hitting of the bottle, which creates the 'charge' in each potency. Without succussion our remedies would not have the power they do to cure deeply.

I only have had to take this forumala during hayfever season and it has drastically reduced the episodes and severity. Each season i am a different person and it is true i may need to step it up further. Since i do not live near a decent practitioner i have to do something for myself. So i feel the relapses are rarer.
I don't take conventional medicines at all. Have had no synthetic drugs in me for 30 years. Not even a headache pill. I have chronic illnesses and i think that complicates things a lot with me. I am not targetting that with homeopathy as well its complicated to get into. Right now i have to concentrate on what works for this and i know that sounds like an oposing position to really what so-called alternative medicines are about but it does my head in to go further. I am already takings a lot of things(herbal ofcourse) for so many things.
OK i just rang the company i ordered the ingredients from and the homeopath is not there today but i did get some information. Will ring back on thursday and get advised further. The lady said i ordered 30c and what my formula has is 6x. So i will see what the practitioner says on thursday as to how to proceed. Thanks but lots to do so hope you don't mind if i don't finish this post/answer right now :0)
