How to Preserve & take Homeopathic Medicines

Handle the medicine with care

• While taking a homeopathic pill or tablet, handle them with care. Take the medicine directly, don’t use your palms. And, if the pills fall on the ground, discard them.
• The best way to take homeopathic pills is to dissolve them under the tongue. Avoid eating, drinking or brushing your teeth for 20 minutes, before and after taking the homeopathic medicine. Avoid using a ‘fresh lift’ and mint flavored mouthwash or toothpaste.
• For children, who may find this difficult to follow, spit or crush the pills on a dry, clean spoon and administer. This procedure, can be followed while giving homeopathic pills to your pets as well.
