MISC: Administering Remedies

of course some of you are already using remedies and some have asked

me about how to give them, so I'll post this now

put your dry pillule, tablet, in water to administer - see below

Best not to take them dry. The VF does better if you put them in

water and then raise the potency a little each time. The VF doesn't

do as well with the same potency over and over and that is the way

you would do it if you used them dry

MAY NEED TO REPEAT MORE FREQUENTLY IN ACUTES IF USING 30c

PRINT this out and keep handy with your remedies.

Administering Remedies

Generally I suggest you use 200C if you have completed the course

with me and understand what is a true minor acute

200c for minor acute and first aid - do NOT use for recurring things

that seem acute but are part of a chronic state or for anything else chronic

Otherwise, 30C, if treating a family member very elderly and in a

very weakened state (then use lower potencies) or if treating a

family member with a lot of pathology (ie cancer - then use lower

potencies). Or if you don't have 200C -30C may be fine for minor

acutes and first aid, but may have to repeat more frequently.

Do not treat for chronic or recurring things on your own or with 30C.

DO NOT go by what is on the bottle (heaven only knows why fda or

whatever makes them say that stuff)

A. You can give just a dry pillule, but it appears to work better to

give in water (aqueous solution) and be able to succuss it between

doses - but in a pinch, give as dry.

(for an infant crush if possible or just put in a little water in a

cup and let melt and then give.)

B. BEST to give as an aqueous solution - one pillule in water

1. Put ONE pillule or tablet in 6 oz of water (use purified,

filtered water if possible) in a water bottle used only for this

2. Let dissolve or sit for at least 5 minutes (the remedy coats the

pillule which is sucrose or the tablet which is lactose)

3. Shake just a little

4. Take one teaspoon out of water bottle and give to the

person. Have person hold in their mouth for a few seconds if possible.

Wait. Use a plastic spoon (if you use a metal spoon boil it in water

for 5 minutes before it is washed and used for other things)

5. You basically give 1 dose of 1 remedy and wait........

a. If improvement, don't give anymore

b. If improvement and then same symptoms come back - give another

dose of same

1. to give another dose, take the water bottle you have and succuss

it - this is strong downward thrusts from about 2 feet up - like a

judge hitting a gavel

do this 10 times on a book or something (you are succussing to

slight raise the potency of what you have started with - it seems

that the VF does better with a little higher potency each time, than

the same potency

2. give another teaspoon out of this

3. if using a cup and not a water bottle - better to use water

bottle though - stir briskly 10 times and give one teaspon

c. If improvement and new symptoms that are really a problem and body can't

deal with itself - research and find what the new remedy should be

(will sometimes use one remedy and shift things and then need a

different to finish up)

d. If no improvement on one dose of 30c in water, repeat it in

20-30 minutes; if no improvement on one dose if 200c in water, repeat

it in 1 hour

can do this 2 or 3 times with 200C or 30C

if no improvement after that probably wrong remedy

Improvement you may see first is in mental/emotional symptoms, or

sleep, or general well being, or thirst or appetite - then the

physical symptoms

may improve later If you are using 6X or something, may have to

repeat oftener than a 30 C asthe energy 'gets used up' in a way.

6. If you get near the end of the bottle, keep at least one teaspoon

in there and add 6 ozs more of water to keep it going, as you have

been raising the potency each time and don't want to start

over. Mostly you will never get to this point as you will only be

repeating 3 or 4 times. Don't need to refrigerate unless keeping

overnight and usually this will not be the case.

7. Throw all away at the end.

lol I'm often in your boat with my own 4yo ;-)

Epsom Salt soaking baths are a favorite of mine for things like this. I have to

tell you I'm envious of you being able to remove *any* of the splinter! My son

wouldn't let me near him lol. I've had to enlist my husband to hold him down

for a few minor splinters that were starting to get infected despite our

home-care. lol

Also, I've used black salve for things like this on myself (no not my butt lol).

> How would you treat a deeply embedded thorn? My 4 yr old has a thorn - in all

places - his bum. It is 1/4 of a inch long approx, after having removed what I

could. I have treated him with Hepar Sulphuris, and I think it has raised the

thorn a very little bit- Do I increase the potency of the remedy and

re-administer? Or wait longer? How long should it take for the splinter to

work it's way to the surface - It has been 2 days since he got it.

thorn through the skin still. And it is little red.
