Most of us know what it is like to awake in the morning, not feeling up to par, both mentally and physically, after a night of indulgence.  Here are a few suggestions that might alleviate such discomfort.

First, a word about potencies for home use:  It is recommended that you use the lower potencies: 6X/6c, 12x/12c, 30X/30C. The 30X/30C strengths generally react quickly and more deeply but need more precise prescriptions than the lower potencies.  If you are unsure about your prescription, I suggest that you stick with the 6x/6C, 12X/12C doses.

Basic dosage is 3 pellets, placed under your tongue, let dissolve. This should be taken 3-4 times daily until symptoms ease up.  In severe cases, the remedy may be taken hourly or on the half hour until there is relief. Then 3-4 doses daily until symptoms are alleviated.

Remember, do not touch the pellets with your hands, as they will become contaminated. Use the cap from the bottle to dispense the remedy. Wait for at least 15 minutes before or after you eat to take any homeopathic medicine.

Unable to tolerate fatty foods, as well as alcohol,
milk and coffee.
