Guest guest Posted December 6, 1999 Report Share Posted December 6, 1999 Good evening everyone! I was prescribed some homeopathic medicine by my practitioner. She said not to use my essential oils **at all** while taking homeopathics. Help! I don't think I can go that long without them. I have read in several of my books not to mix the two, but I was hoping that meant not storing them together or taking them at the exact same time. Can anyone clarify this for me? I am supposed to start on them tomorrow but I don't think I can forgo my oils because the cold and flu season is upon me and my insomnia is coming back, which I need my oils for . Any info would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either find other ways to deal with your cold and flu.... (ask your doctor) or ask your doctor for medication that is not homeopathic. Sometimes we just can't have or cake and eat it too....

You comment " I don't think I can go that long without them " sparked my interest, as most homeopathic remedies do not need to be taken long term, and in fact, most would only be for 2-3 days at a time, or until symptoms improved. If your symptoms hadn't improved within a week then you probably would need to change to a different remedy - of course it would depend on whether you condition was chronic or acute. I would also assume that the homeopathic remedy you have been prescribed would also take into account any cold and flu and insomnia problems you may have, therefore you shouldn't need any other treatment at the same time. Good luck, and I hope you have success with your homeopathic treatment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
