How To Take Them
Place 1 pellet of 30c potency under the tongue. It’s best to avoid eating, drinking or smoking for 20 minutes before or after taking a dose. You can repeat it every 15 minutes for severe symptoms and then taper it to every few hours as your symptoms abate. Continue the remedy at least once a day for a few days after your symptoms are gone to prevent relapse.
CAUTION: When traveling by plane, be sure to have the remedies hand checked. X-rays render them useless. Safe and healthy travels!
