We offer a number of formats for different purposes:
| Pillules, Granules & Tablets |
Pillules, granules and tablets are the most common forms of
homeopathic remedies and are taken internally. The only difference
between pillules, granules and tablets is the size, with tablets
being larger than pillules, which are larger than granules.
These remedies are normaly placed under the tongue until they
disolve. |
| Ointments, Creams, & Lotions |
These are applied directly to the affected area, where the
symptom is entirely external, such as spots, bruising, insect
bites, etc. |
| Liquid Dilution |
The remedy as a liquid dilution is the basis of the above
formats. Liquid dilutions are also used as remedies in thier
own right, most often where the patient is allergic to the pillule
base, or for animals which can not be persuaded to take tablets. Liquid dilutions contain alcohol as a preservative. |
| Tincture |
This is the starting point for making the liquid dilution.
The extract the remedy will be made from is in a relatively
concentrated form, and consequently the tincture is not intended
for treatment directly. However, it seems that occasionaly, particularly in India, the lowest available potency is referred to as the mother tincture. Tinctures contain alcohol as a preservative. |
