Homeopathy is an alternative to strong medications that have chemicals. If you do not want to opt for allopathy, homeopathy is the best natural way to treat a health problem. Homeopathy can cure a simple infection or severe disease (sometimes much better than allopathy). However, homeopathy is a gradual remedy to treat health issues and anyone can prescribe to this natural medications. But, there are few precautions that you must keep in mind before taking homeopathic medicines.

• Do not keep the homeopathic medicines out in the open. Keep them in a cold place and always close the lid after taking out the pills or liquid.
• Never put homeopathic medicines on your palm. Directly open the bottle and pop in the medicine (or use a dropper to take the liquid). Using hands can take off the spirit added to the medicine which is the most important ingredient of a homeopathic medicine.
• Always follow half an hour rule. If you want to take homeopathic medicines, keep this precaution in mind. You should not eat 30 minutes before and after taking the medicine.
• Leave the addictions. This is one important precaution that you need to keep in mind. If you are following homeopathy, leave bad addictions like smoking, drinking, chewing tobacco or taking drugs.

• Do not mix homeopathy with other medications. Allopathy and Ayurvedic medications should not mix up with homeopathy. If you are a heart patient or suffering from blood pressure, diabetes or epilepsy then consult your doctor before leaving any medication. Your doctor might advise you to take allopathic medicines with homeopathic ones. However, once you start accepting to the homeopathic treatment, your doctor can reduce the allopathic medication.
