Here you’ll find some of the posts about how to use your remedies and things like how to know if your remedy is working, whether drops or pilules are better and more.
You can also find lots more answers to your questions on the FAQs page.
I often get calls from people asking about the dose for remedies. In some cases this is about the size of the dose – how many drops or pilules – and in others, frequency of dose – how often – so I’m going to cover both of these questions here. Homeopathy is about the quality…
Jumping in quickly with some well chosen remedies can often stop a cold or flu in its tracks, and reduce the severity and duration of symptoms. If you’re not sure what to take, TS Acutes, a tissue salt combination we’ve been recommending since the days of The Children’s Ear Clinic back in Perth, can be…
Why are we talking about “antidoting” in relation to homeopathy? What does this mean for you as a patient or a user of remedies?! What does it mean at all?? So let’s start out with a dictionary definition of the word “antidote”. A medicine or other remedy for counteracting the effects of poison, disease, etc.…
Potency is a little understood but important aspect of homeopathy and in recent weeks has come under scrutiny in the media, with a certain lack of understanding displayed by the journalist in question. Some of you will have seen the item in the media about “children dying after taking homeopathic remedies”. The product in question…
If you’ve had a constitutional (I prefer to call this individualised) remedy dispensed for yourself or your child, this remedy may well be your best choice for support during an acute illness.

While taking remedies orally is generally the accepted and best way of using homeopathics, I thought I’d share some ideas for other ways you might consider using your remedies. This actually came about more than 25 years ago when I was just starting out with using homeopathy. I didn’t have children but I had a…
Many users of homeopathy forget about or aren’t even aware of the Tissue Salts. The basic twelve salts are remedies I use frequently in daily practice, and you’ll understand why as you read this article, but the time I find them most useful is when I get the following phone call or text: Caller: I’ve…
We are demanding evidence of science in all areas of life. Some of the research carried out is high quality and finally reveals what we may have suspected for years on a range of topics. However, in some cases, when quality research is provided, the scientists with the biggest voices don’t like it unless it suits their desired outcomes or assists their backers’ financial…
I sometimes get the feeling that people may be a little reluctant or even scared to go and see a GP or visit their local emergency department.
