Properties of the homeopathic kit to complement chemotherapy treatment
Nux vomica 5CH: homeopathic medicine prepared from the vomiting nut, fruit of the Strychnos Nux Vomica tree in Southeast Asia. Nux vomica is the remedy for intoxication, excess, hypersensitivity, anger and violence. It is likely to be involved in most of our treatments, as each of us has one or more such episodes at least once in our lives.
Kalium bichromicum 9CH : homeopathic medicine made from potassium dichromate, orange-red crystals.
Mercurius corrosivus 7CH : mercuric chloride HgCl2 is a white, toxic crystalline powder, soluble in water, ether and alcohol.
Precautions for use of homeopathic kit
Due to the presence of lactose, this medicine should not be used in cases of galactosemia, glucose-galactose malabsorption syndrome or lactose deficiency.
For lactose-intolerant patients, granules and doses can be made with sucrose.
Do not take astringent substances (coffee, tobacco, camphor, mint and chamomile) within half an hour of taking granules or globules. Use mint-free toothpaste.
Children: For children under 6, dissolve the granules in 100 ml of water.
As granules take a long time to dissolve, it is necessary to prepare your mixture in advance.
Pregnant women: Homeopathic medicines have no chemical toxicity, no contraindications, no interaction with other drugs, and no adverse effects linked to the quantity of product ingested. Pregnant women can take homeopathic medicines without any known risk to themselves or their unborn child.
Keep homeopathic medicines away from light, heat, humidity and all sources of fumes and perfumes.
What to do if there is no improvement within 24 hours:
Certain pathologies cannot be treated with homeopathy by simple self-medication. Their severity requires medical advice from a homeopathic or allopathic doctor. This doctor will judge whether your condition can be treated with homeopathy alone, or whether your treatment needs to be supplemented with allopathy.
If your symptoms persist, consult your doctor or homeopath.
