Welcome to part two of this easy-to-use homeopathic first-aid reference guide. Here you will find another 20 homeopathic first-aid remedies that are simple and effective to use in treating a number of minor illnesses and less-serious accidents.
Although I always recommend consulting a qualified practitioner before prescribing homeopathic medicines, this quick and easy reference guide allows you to safely treat your loved ones at home, without having to consult a homeopath.
I like to encourage people just like you to give first-aid prescriptions a go: we all had to begin somewhere, many a great homeopath began as a home-prescriber. So, I encourage you to look through this guide and give these remedies a try when the need arises.
If you need a little extra guidance, search my blog as you will find lots more information on remedies and symptoms to help you with your prescription, as well as information written in easy-to-understand language for the home-prescriber about: how to choose a remedy, how to select a potency, dosing guidelines, best practices for storing homeopathic remedies and much more.
