Pills, pellets, granules, liquids, ointments or tinctures

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.
