A to Z Reference of Homeopathic Remedies

The remedies below are those most commonly used to treat certain conditions and symptoms. However each person is unique so it’s best to consult a qualified homeopath for the recommended dosage or if symptoms vary from those described.

In most self-help cases 6C should be selected. 6C is useful when conditions are mainly physical, such as coughs or colds, or when the condition progresses at a slow pace. 30C is selected when the condition is very active (acute) and/or when there is an emotional element to the condition, such as occasional sleeplessness. 30C remedies should be taken as a short course only, unless prescribed by a practitioner.

If a condition is persistent or potentially serious, please contact your doctor or a qualified homeopath.
