• Avoid exposing remedies to bright sunlight, temperatures above 120°F, moisture and all strong odors.
• Store the remedies in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, but do NOT store in the refrigerator.
• Do not take your remedy while outside or near a window in direct sunlight.
• Do not touch the pellets or pick them up with your fingers.

Factors That Can Antidote The Action Of A Remedy:

The following can antidote your remedy. This means that these things can eliminate all the improvement you experience by taking your medicine.

• Do not eat, drink, smoke, or use toothpaste or gum for twenty minutes before and after taking the remedy.
• Do not use any products containing camphor, such as Vick’s, Noxzema, Tiger Balm, Karmex, Blistex, Campho-Phenique, Ben-Gay or anything which smells like any of these products. Also avoid cough drops which contain menthol or eucalyptus.
• Coffee. Many people believe that they cannot use homeopathic medicine because they drink coffee. This may be true for people who are very sensitive to coffee. If you are a coffee drinker, try to reduce the amount of coffee that you are drinking for a few
• days when you first take your remedy. Most people do NOT antidote their remedies by drinking coffee.
• Anything to which you are particularly sensitive. Avoid any food, chemical or substance which you know can cause a strong reaction in you. Moderate use of alcohol or tobacco generally does not interfere with your remedy, as long as you have no special sensitivity to them.
• Avoid electric blankets. They can be used to warm a bed, but do not sleep with them turned on. Water bed warmers and heating pads are okay.
• Tanning beds. Using a tanning bed will antidote a remedy. Sun tanning with the sun will not antidote a remedy, but it isn’t particularly good for your skin. We recommend finding a self tanning product or a spray tanning company if you need a sun tan.

Taking The Remedy

• You should have nothing to eat, drink or smoke for twenty minutes before and after taking the remedy.
• Do not touch the remedy with your fingers. Pour the contents of the bottle into your mouth or into a spoon and then into your mouth if the package contains multiple doses. If the dose is in a glass bottle, pour the dose into the cap and then into your mouth.
• If the pellets were from a Boiron Blue Tube, two pellets is sufficient to constitute a dose.  If the remedy is from a homeopath, follow his or her directions. 
• Dissolve the pellets under your tongue. Allow the pellets to dissolve completely.
• An excellent time to take the remedy is first thing in the morning. Be sure to wait twenty minutes before eating, drinking, smoking or brushing your teeth.
