HOW DO YOU TAKE HOMEOPATHIC PRESCRIPTION?

[starburst50]

Got a homeopathic prescription for Thyroidium and Selenium, but no

directions on how to take it. Guess what though. I did it like NDT and

took it on circadian rhythm 4:30 this AM. I did not know if I was to

chew it, swallow it, or sublingual it.....any clues???????

Are you sure it is homeopathic? Generally homeopathy requires that you put the pilule in the cap of the bottle (or however you can take it without touching it with your hands) and put it under your tongue. But you don't need a prescription for homeopathy.

My only concern would be that I would take it separately from ndt so that the ndt was taken on an empty stomach with water only.

Can your practitioner tell you more about how to take it?

you need to take it in a clean mouth - no recent toothpaste, tea/coffee, smoke, alcohol or food. Rinse your mouth thoroughly with water before taking.

There are a bunch of books on Amazon about homeopathy, they're a range of prices and cover everything from Bach Remedies to homeopathy for horses. If you're going to get the best out of homeopathy perhaps have a browse?

Thanks. I am taking it as it it is ndt and doing it on a circadian dosing. It is only day 2 so I will have to let you all know how things progress. I am not on any other thyroid meds yet. Worth a try, as I have self medicated with vit and min supplements for 30 years and now it has gotten out of hand.

Thanks for that. Yes it is definitely homeopathic and I know it is a miracle, but my very understanding doctor

has prescribed it. I am not taking ndt just yet, but am hoping soon. We are trying this first. So I just thought

I might as well take it like I would ndt......only thing is I touched it and did not know it was sublingual....I will be

seeing him on 11 but thought I would check this out as I want to be well started on it before I see him again.

That was really helpful and I will do as you have said. Thanks.

Have a look here. I forgot about avoiding strong flavours. You may want to use fennel toothpaste instead of mint. naturalhealthanswers.co.uk/...

Hi puncturedbicycle....that was an excellent place to find out what I needed to know. Second day took it properly.

Thanks Sandy12. Not sure about that as my GP gave me a prescription on the NHS. Will let you know how it goes. Day 2.....and waiting.

I don't believe in homoeopathy.

However, I do see many people referring to things as being "homoeopathic" when, patently, they are not. That is, someone calling themselves or being known as a homoeopath has prescribed or suggested something that is an ordinary supplement or medicine. I agree about the fast buck in at least some such cases. Though sometimes it might simply be good advice. It might also make someone think that what they are taking couldn't possibly be bad for them!

If someone is going to offer homoeopathy, then my belief or otherwise is not important. It is, though, only right that it is made clear which things conform to that, and which do not.

Had to wait for chemist to get it in. Thyroidium 30 and selenium 30. Little tiny white pills in small glass vials. Take 1 each a day. Dissolves instantly and is sweet to the taste.

Chemist says it is a homeopathic remedy for sure.

All thoughts appreciated.
