Thank you for your reply.

I have been taking homeopathy for years now. Most times I take 30c at night right before bed time, and in my water during the day. The remedies I often take (And not all at one time.) are Nux V, Acon, Arg-n, Arn, Iodine, Carb V, Staph, Ign, Nat M. And I also take other remedies depending on the day.

Thank you.

I've changed/added my answers above.

Thank you very much. Will I be able to find this remedy at Whole Foods? If not, where could I purchase it?

Thank you again for your help. You have no idea how much I appreciate it.

One more question. do I wait for the pallets to dissolve before drinking them in the water?

Thank you very much.

Yes, Whole Foods didn't have this remedy, so I will order from this site. I will post my experience as soon as I get the remedy and take them. Thank you.
