Use a mint-free toothpaste (such as Homéodent BOIRON).

Homeopathy and Pregnancy

Homeopathic remedies have no chemical toxicity, no contraindications, no interactions with other medications, and no adverse effects related to the amount ingested. Pregnant women can use them without any known risk to themselves or their unborn child, but it is best to seek advice.

Frequency of Homeopathic Use

For acute conditions, it is recommended to take homeopathic remedies every hour until symptoms improve. Once symptoms improve, doses should be spaced out to 3 or 4 times a day, then gradually discontinued.
For chronic conditions, remedies in low dilutions (>9CH) are taken 1 to 2 times a day, while constitutional remedies are taken once a week or even once a month. This decision is up to the homeopath.

What to Do If There Is No Improvement Within 24 Hours

Certain conditions cannot be treated with homeopathy through self-medication alone. Their severity requires medical advice, which can be provided by a homeopathic physician. This physician will determine whether your condition can be treated with homeopathy alone or whether your treatment should be supplemented with allopathic medicine.
