Frequently asked questions about homeopathy
What is homeopathy?
Homeopathy is a gentle medicine approach developed in the 18th century, based on the use of highly diluted substances of plant, mineral, or animal origin. It is traditionally used as a complementary medicine to support well-being and help manage common everyday concerns, and its claims are based on traditional homeopathic references.
How do you take homeopathic granules?
Homeopathic granules are dissolved under the tongue, away from meals, without chewing or swallowing them directly. The usual dosage is 3 to 5 granules, 3 times a day for adults, with doses gradually reduced as symptoms improve.
What is the difference between a homeopathic complex and a single strain?
A homeopathic complex combines several strains in a single formula, targeting a specific set of symptoms such as a cold, headaches, or sleep disturbances. A single strain, such as Arnica Montana, is a single-ingredient remedy used for more specific indications, often following the guidance of a practitioner.
Is homeopathy safe for children?
Most homeopathic products in our selection are formulated for adults and children from age 2, with dosages adapted by age. Some products are not recommended for infants aged 0 to 2, and it is always advisable to consult a healthcare practitioner before giving a homeopathic product to a child.
What is Arnica Montana used for in homeopathy?
Arnica Montana is one of the best-known homeopathic remedies. It is traditionally used to help relieve muscle pain, physical fatigue, bruising, and contusions. Its claims are based on traditional homeopathic references rather than modern scientific evidence.
Can homeopathic products be taken alongside other medications?

It is nonetheless advisable to consult a healthcare professional if you are following a medical treatment, are pregnant, or breastfeeding, to ensure the products chosen are appropriate for your situation.
