| RECOMMENDATIONS *** Go to your local red cross and take a first aid course *** ASSEMBLING YOUR KIT About potencies of the Medicines One problem with homeopathic medicine is that there are many points of view and many professionals have different experiences with different aspects of homeopathic Prescribing. I am a layperson. I Personally believe that Homeopathy is a science which should be practiced mostly by those trained in it with many years of experience. The scope of this book and contents are very very limited. To lessen any possibility of problems caused by incorrect use of homeopathic medicine, I keep some rules of thumb. I believe they are a good idea. It is always the best course of action to be prudent in all our ways. To this end, I personally use mostly remedies of the 6x or 6c potency.These can be safely administered as often as every 15 minutes for a few doses,and then stopped. (This would be a maximum dose used in case of an emergency situation ..before a doctor could be reached, anyway..by virtue of the conditions at hand). In cases where the emergency might not be so dire, 6x could also be safely administered for 3 doses in one day and then stopped. Conditions of the patient could be monitored and medicine could be given until improvement of patient is noticed and then the administration of medicine could be stopped. In the case of a fracture, this three times daily dose could continue for a couple of days. To refresh: Homeopathic medicine is given with the principle: Take as little of the medicine as possible and yet enough to lessen pain and stimulate the persons healing powers. The disagreement amongst experts, and something to be considered, is whether a somewhat higher potency can be used in these first aid situations as it may be only possible to administer one dose before the doctor is at the scene..In this case 30X or 30 C would be more suitable. The above thoughts should be kept in mind when compiling ones personal first aid kit. Recommendations of potencies recommended will be shown below. YOUR BASIC KIT 1. Small vials of each of the following in 30x or 6x potency.
The remedies in the recommended kit above are all in little vials of pills. These are to be administered two pills under the tongue for a dose, without water. * The starred remedies are in liquid form. These are to be diluted with water prior to use. 10 drops to 8 oz water. ** The remedies with two stars are prepared formulas available from homeopathic supppliers. You will also need the following in your first aid kit: Some small jars or 4 oz bottles, to make dilute tinctures for wound washing; clean cloth for bandages, white cotton; normal first aid kit supplies including assorted small bandages, scissors, bandaids, medical tape for bandages, rubber tubing incase tourniquet is required. To gain a basic understanding of the above remedies and their potential for assisting the body in its healing processes, an alphabetical list of the suggested remedies follows, with indications for their uses. It would be good to become familiar with these few different remedies, their names and applications. |
