Storage re: Temperature

Greetings,
Can anyone tell me what range of temperatures homeopathic remedies can be exposed to while retaining their potency?
I live in Saskatchewan, Canada. Last winter my ex-husband put all my things into storage while it was 40 degrees below F.
Next week the exterminator is coming to heat treat my apartment for insects and they say the temperature will be above 120 degrees F.
Will my remedies retain their potency at these temperature extremes?
Thank you.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
In pillule form, the remedies are highly resistant to the environment. I have seen them survive a century unscathed, being stored, carried around, dispensed. However, when stored as water doses (often the way the homoeopath may make it for you to be administered) they are quite vulnerable to heat. Even laying in the sun for a half hour can change the vibration of the water enough to cast doubt on the medicine.

What about alcohol based remedies, such as those available from Dolisos? Are they stable at high or low temperatures?

The alcohol helps to preserve them but they are not as resistant as the pillules. It is the water that is vulnerable to heat, and the water carries the signature of the remedy. When carried by sugar, heat does not affect them as much (I do not know why).

So would a premixed bottle that was exposed to temperatures of around 40 degrees Fareinheight (enough to produce condensation on the bottle) still be ok to use?

There would be doubt in my mind. However, we can only measure the effectiveness of our medicines by the way they affect a living creature, so nobody could be sure.
