Note: If a self-selected remedy – however well-indicated – does not help, a consult with a professional homeopath may be in order. But, if, using common sense, yours is a very serious condition, you need to seek medical expertise.

Degree of seriousness	Potency	Dosage
*Very serious*
Symptoms need immediate attention accompanied by great pain, e.g. earache; head or back injury; second- or third-degree burn; cystitis, labour pains, etc.	6C, 12C or 30C	One dose every 5-30 min. Stop on improvement. Repeat as needed.
*Serious*
Symptoms need help within about 24 hours and are not necessarily accompanied by pain, e.g. bad cough; abscess; food poisoning; vomiting, etc.	6C or 12C	One dose every 1-2 hours. Stop on improvement. Repeat as needed.
*Less serious*
Symptoms can wait a day or two to be treated, e.g. sore throat; flu; teething; chickenpox, etc.	6C or 12C	One dose every 4-8 hours. Stop on improvement. Repeat as needed.
*Not serious*
Symptoms are usually mild and need longer-term treatment, e.g. anaemia; exhaustion, etc.	6X or 6C	One dose 3 times daily for up to 10 days. Stop on improvement. Repeat as needed.

“Alternating remedies. I have occasionally suggested that you alternate remedies where, for example, two are indicated. This can happen after childbirth when you might want to take, say, Arnica for bruising and Calendula to speed the healing of an episiotomy. Instead of taking them both together it is better to alternate them as frequently as needed, every one to two hours if the soreness is severe, less often if it is tolerable, for several days if you’re taking them as a tonic.”
