Homeopathic Remedies A to Z

Below is a list of some of the most common homeopathic remedies.

Although there are considered to be over 1000 remedies only approximately 50 are available over the counter. 

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 at all persistent or could be serious, please consult your doctor or a qualified homeopathic practitioner.

As with all medicines, always read the label.
