Homeopathic remedies can be derived from minerals, plants, synthetic materials, and certain animals, resulting in a vast array of remedies. Developed by Samuel Hahnemann at the beginning of the nineteenth century and once popular in America, the practice of homeopathy had declined until recently. Today, homeopathic remedies can be found in a variety of convenient locations.
Instructions
1. Determine which remedy to buy. List all of the symptoms you are experiencing. Homeopathic remedies help the body heal itself, rather than suppress the symptoms like traditional Western medicine. Your list will help you find a remedy based on your symptom picture.
2. Visit a health food store or natural food grocery. You can locate numerous homeopathic remedies within the aisles. Ask a staff member about certain products. Many stores train their staff to answer basic questions. Whole Foods is a widely acclaimed grocery store that carries and hosts lectures by homeopathic practitioners.
3. Ge online to homeopathic websites (see Resources). Numerous websites match your symptoms with recommended remedies. Prices tend to be lower than those you find in speciality stores. If a bottle comes to you tampered, send back immediately, and keep all records of transactions.
4. Shop at health and nutrition retailers like GNC or Vitamin Shoppe. They both have many locations, or their stores can be accessed online.
5. Consult a homeopathic doctor to gain insight about your problems and suggested remedies. The National Center for Homeopathy is a great resource for finding one that is near you. Check out their qualifications before making an appointment. You can contact the North American Society of Homeopaths to find out if your doctor has been certified. If you are consulting a homeopathic practitioner, you will usually buy remedies from him or her.
