How many drops for a small bottle of globules?

I’m trying to do my own homeopathy mixtures.
I’ve bought 5 reference books! They’re otw shipped to me from the US.
And I’ve ordered 15 top remedies (based on my readings) that I think would be beneficial for my kids. They are also otw shipped to me.

I’m planning to use globules bcs my kids are used to it and it’s easier because they love it so much.

So now, for the bottles, what size should I choose?
There’s 1oz, 1/2oz and 1/4 oz.

The remedies I ordered come in 30ml dilution (liquid).

For the selected bottle size, I know that I should fill it up with the globules.

But how many drops should I put in each bottle?

80% medicating solution should be used to prepare globules.

A small disposable sprayer can be made use of. On an average 3 to 5 drops would suffice.

I see.. 80%.
I’m planning of buying1/2 oz bottles and 500g globules.

So I will put 3 drops of remedy with 30c potency in each 1/2 oz of globules.
Shake them well and give them to my child half an hour later.

Is that correct maheeru?

Appreciate your guidance! :)

80% is called medicating potency and 20% is oral liquid potency.

The advantage with 80% is it'll not dissolve the globules or make them stick together but will be expensive than 20%. If you use 20% instead then you need to use a clean blotting paper to dry the globules by upending the bottle carefully onto the paper after leaving a gap of 15 minutes(till all the globules are soaked with the medicine) after pouring out the medicine into the bottle. Then after the excess moisture is drained carefully put the globules back into the bottle and recork it. If you are not able to do this then be prepared to have soggy or melted or stuck together mess of globules sometime in the future and you will have to do the process again :)

After pouring the medicine into the bottle, leave 5 minutes then roll the bottle on all sides so that the medicine moistens the globules evenly. Except these minor variation what you have mentioned is right.

That is such a clear and detailed explanation, maheeru.
Thank you!

My remedies have just arrived. They are liquid dilutions. 30c. And I have 1/2 oz bottles with size 40 globules.

Can you please help me with my child’s cough?

She was diagnosed with pneumonia and i gave her antibiotics for 5 days.
It has gotten better alot but there’s still some heavy mucus in her chest that I want to clear up.
Her coughs are often sudden. And though the mucus sounds very strong, it doesn’t seem to want to get out.
No vomitting or gagging. Just some yellowy thick mucus would come out from the nose after she coughs.
I am thinking Antimonium tart suits her best.
What do you think?

4) Details about emotional state, personality, temperament, fears/anxieties.
5) Details like cravings/aversions, climate/temperature preference, thirst/hunger/sleep/sex/discharge issues and about physical appearance.
6) Any other miscellaneous details including past history of diseases, medicines taken and diseases running into family.

1) What are the complaints and any known cause for such complaints.

-She was coughing a little bit which Was not that serious. But a few days later, she had high fever for 4 days which was when the cough got worse.
Fever stopped after 4 days n cough got really bad. Fast breathing. Lost 2kgs.
Doctor diagnosed pneumonia.
Was on antibiotics for 5 days. Now cough almost gone but chest still sounds phlegmy.

-She easily gets a cold or cough when she’s exposed to cold wind or temperature (aircond), and when someone close has it, she is easily infected.
In this case, her father had the cough and fever a few days before she was infected.

2) List out locations and sensations associated with complaints if any
-Phlegm at chest. Yellowy thick mucus sometimes comes out at nose when she coughs.

3) Write down worsening and bettering factors and any associated symptoms about these complaints.
-cold wind and temperatures always cause her to have a cold and then develops into a cough.
-i think she is also sensitive to wheat (gluten) which I have minimized in her diet.
-due to her constant cough, sugary food has also been very restricted.

4) Details about emotional state, personality, temperament, fears/anxieties.
-when she’s sick, very lethargic and clingy. No appetite.
-now when she’s well, very cheerful, loves playing and sharing with her big sister, does not easily get angry, has always been a calm baby. Good appetite.

5) Details like cravings/aversions, climate/temperature preference, thirst/hunger/sleep/sex/discharge issues and about physical appearance.
-prefers cold but cant stand it.
-always thirsty at night. Only drinks plain water.
-good appetite not a picky eater.
-has always been a tough sleeper. Always gets up in the middle of the night and ask for water or simply to be comforted.
-quite small for her age but bmi normal. Very fair skin.

6) Any other miscellaneous details including past history of diseases, medicines taken and diseases running into family.
-was born thru c-sect, exclusively breastfed for 2 years and 1 month.
-she is easily bloated when eating gassy food such as garlic or spices.
-she is easily constipated when not drinking enough water or not eating enough fruits and veggies.
-almost always with the cough; just severity changes. But this was her first time getting pneumonia and was on antibiotics.
-has never taken allopathy before. Has always depended on homeopath since birth but not sure what are the remedies bcs she doesn’t tell the names.
-her father’s family has the breathing difficulties problems but doesnnot have asthma.


Hope this is sufficient. Really appreciate your help maheeru :)

Give her phos. 30c one pill/drop as a dose twice per day for three to four days. Also if possible get 200c of this medicine.

If there is aggravation stop medicine and report.
 
maheeru 6 years ago
I only have phos 30c. Will purchase a bigger potency next time.
I will do as you say and report soon.
Thank you!

Dear Mr Maheeru,

Would you mind clarifying again about the 20% oral liquid potency?

I have put 3 drops of 30c liquid dilution in a 1/2 oz bottle of globules.
I roll the bottle so that the liquid touches all globules.
After 15mins, I slowly pour out the excessive moisture out from the bottle.
After 30mins, I give my child 3 globules as one dosage.

Is this correct?
Sorry to bother you again About this..
Been searching everywhere for clarification but none has really made me satisfied.
Will do more readings when my books arrive.
But until then would very much appreciate your guidance :)

Right you pour or spray 3 drops onto globules. Then the bottle rolled on all angles and sides to even out the moisture.

This is not mandatory if you find this difficult(you can prepare pills again if they are spoiled): You take out the excess moisture by using a fresh/clean blotting paper(once the process is over, this paper needs to be disposed off---not to be used for another medicine). On this paper keep the vial close to it and make the bottle upside down so that globules move onto the blotting paper. It's IMPORTANT that the globules are not touched with bare hands. You do not need to do anything special to take out the moisture. If you let the globules stay on the blotting paper for half a minute to one minute, the paper will do the job.

Then carefully tip all the globules into the vial without again touching them.

After this process you can let the vial settle for 15 minutes. So in total 30 to 32 minutes would have elapsed from the first set up. From here on, you are free to give out the dose :)

There may be slight variations in this procedure if you come across one such on your books, do not throw out the medicine :)

Thank you so much for your detailed and clear explanation, mr maheeru!
Was worried that if I didn’t prepare it right, it would be less effective.
Again, thank you!
Will report back to you in a few days with my child’s condition.

Hi mr maheeru,
After giving phos 30c 3 days like you instructed my child’s cough has significantly reduced. Thank you.
However the thick mucus in her throat is still there And it can be heard ocassionally when she coughs after drinking water.
What should I give to eliminate it completely?

I will also post this question as a new post as this has gotten too long.
I really appreciate every response you’ve given. :)

Welcome. I had requested you to procure 200c of phos. Have you got it? If not please try to get it soon and let me know.

How many days have passed since the last dose of phos. 30c?

How is she doing overall? I mean appetite, mood, energy, sleep like general factors?

New thread is fine, but sometimes communication gets lost due to multiple factors while changing threads.

maheeru 6 years ago
I haven’t. I’m sorry for asking but do you think 200c wouldn’t be too strong for my 2yo?
It has been 4 days since her last dose of phos 30c. I had to go out of town for some family emergency and couldn’t get any connection at that time.

Overall her appetite has been really good. She has gained her 2kgs back. Now that you’re asking I’ve realized she has been in an excellent mood lately and behaving really well.
She naps well in the day. But at night she still has her usual wakings for water or comfort.

Her current condition:
Coughs 1-3 times a day after drinking water. (Reduced drastically)
Mucus sounds thick.
Can’t seem to identify the colour as she doesn’t vomit it out.
No mucus from nose.

No, 200c would not be strong. Only potencies beyond 1M have to be thought through before giving. Also usage of 30c makes the system easier to receive 200c.

I did not advise 200c earlier as you seemed to have only 30c. But this type of condition generally requires 200c.
 
maheeru 6 years ago
Thank you for explaining, mr maheeru.
I will order it now and report after I’ve given it.
May I know what woud be the dosage?
 
namn 6 years ago
One dose a week. Maximum of seven doses.
 
maheeru 6 years ago
DO you think I need to order any other remedies in 200c?
I could do it together with this order.

Someone prescribed kali sulph 30c. Do you think I need that too?
I don’t have that as well. I only have kali bich 30c.

Unable to predict what might be needed in 200c in advance.

Some of the common remedies may be bought in 200c though.
 
maheeru 6 years ago
Namn

Since the bulk of work has already been done by 30c, just use 5 doses in place of 7. I actually mentioned 7 as the upper cap.
 
maheeru 6 years ago
Thank you for your follow-up, mr Maheeru.
I have just received the phos 200c this morning and I’ve given her first dose.
12 hours have passed and she’s still coughing especially when she’s sleeping.
Will continue giving her another 4 doses before I update.
 
namn 6 years ago
Her cough has gotten significantly worse these past few days. Even before giving the phos 200c.
While waiting for the phos 200c, I didn’t give her anything. That means there was a 9 day gap from the last day of phos 30c to starting phos 200c.
During this period also, we were at my inlaws and her grandpa gave her lots of cookies which could be a contributing factor to her worsening cough and increasing mucus.

Should I just continue giving the once a week dose?

Seeing her coughing badly is a traumatic experience for me, especially after her pneumonia episode last month.
 
namn 6 years ago
Cut the gap between two doses. Instead of a week, now give a gap of three days. After three days another dose may be repeated.

What is the main ingredient of this cookie? How has her reaction been to this over time? Is this a new thing? When did this start?
 
maheeru 6 years ago
She coughed throughout the night and it got worse at 4am onwards. Finally at 5.30am, she threw up and thick light yellow phlegm came out.
I guess she felt better after that because only then she could fall asleep.

About the cookie, nothing special. An ordinary cookie with peanut butter filling. Because of her recurrent coughs, I’ve always limited her intake of junk food or sugary food and food containing gluten like bread, cake and cookies that enhance phlegm production.
So because of her extra intake the last few days, that could be a contributing factor of her increasing mucus again.
Besides the cookies, she also ate a lot of bananas. I’m not sure if that has any relation but through my readings bananas do increase histamine production which could also contribute to coughing. So I’ve stopped the bananas.

She woke up this morning coughing with very loud phlegm at her throat. She has also started sneezing since yesterday evening. But no discharge. Today there is clear discharge. No fever.

Despite her worsening cough, her mood is surprisingly well as she’s still smiling and playing well with her big sister. She’s not clingy or crying all the time.
Her appetite is also great at the moment.

According to the new prescribed dosage, I should be giving her the second dose tomorrow as the first one was given 25th march. Is that correct?

(This was written this morning)

Update at night: (some symptoms have changed from morning)
1) cough reduced 20% but still coughing frequently especially when lying down and sleeping.
2) sneezing increased 50% with extremely runny nose. Clear watery discharge.
3) red, droopy eyes.
4) looks weak, and gets cranky easily.
5)no fever

Thank you.
