Basics on Homeopathy By Melissa Lopez
Since I've been talking a lot about homeopathic remedies, I decided it mightbe a good idea to post some basics about taking homeopathics. If you areafraid of the word, check outwww.boiron.comto learn more about the uses,history, etc. of homeopathics. Homeopathy dates back to 1700's, but thissite, by a popular maker of the remedies, contains lots of currentinformation on the subject.

The best reference I've found for homeopathicremedies (as well as other conventional and alternative remedies) are in theSmart Medicine for Healthier Living or Smart Medicine for Healthier Childbooks available atAmazon.com.5- Don't be afraid to use them! Sometimes, you may need to take a remedyevery 15-20 minutes for the first hour, then it can be taken perhaps everyhour or few hours after that. If it is not working after taking a remedy 4
