ACUTE DOSAGE INSTRUCTIONS

 

This is four doses of the remedy, 15 mins apart for one hour. Usual dosing can resume after this. An acute dose is needed to get on top of quickly moving, or intense symptoms. It is best to use an acute dose as early as possible of symptoms coming in. Eg. Arnica for an sprain/bruise/fall.

 

Colds, flus, coughs & sore throats etc. all move through different stages and therefore require different remedies. If you have a kit or a number of remedies and you find you get improvement and then improvement halts, you are not doing anything wrong, the condition has moved into a new phase and may require a new remedy. It can be hard to keep up with ever-changing symptoms but keep going with it, prescribe on symptoms as needed.

 

Short consultations outside of standard consultation care can be booked in for brief dosage healthcare management if needed.
