Homeopathic Treatment
When using tablets, dissolve them under your tongue. When using liquid, place the drops directly on your tongue. (Because of their alcohol base, liquid homeopathic preparations should not be given to children. Tablets, which have a sweet milk sugar base and can be dissolved in the mouth, are excellent for children.) Do not eat or drink for fifteen minutes prior to or after taking medication. (See Part One, Homeopathy, for additional information.)
