Guest guest Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 That sounds more like an ALLERGY (unless hives was what was being treated for homeopathically). I don't think you can get a REACTION between peppermint and the homeopathic, rather it would just (possibly) render the homeopathics ineffective. If there was an allergic reacton, one would have to consider WHAT exactly in the candy he was reacting to, OR whether it was anything in the candy at ALL. It could just be coincidental to something else. (Beware the dread " post hoc ergo propter hoc " fallacy.) It WOULD be interesting to know the basis for the " prohibition " against peppermint when on homeopathics. Anyone want to look into it for homework? I'll ask my health specialist next time I'm talking to him. In the meantime, anyone want to do a websearch on " peppermint AND homeopathy " ? It's interesting that on the " Master Cleanse " [which I've just completed seven days on], one of the few things you can have in addition to the main compoents of the cleanse IS peppermint tea -- and it's real nice, very smoothing.

I do not know the reason for the rule of no peppermint with homeopathic remedies but I do know that after giving my child a homeopathic remedy, he was given peppermint candy by a neighbor and immediately broke out in hives and rash. I gave him some benedryl and it cleared up but he was quite uncomfortable till then. Peace, thyme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
