Nausea and Vomiting - HomeoSource

Choose a remedy: No one has all the symptoms for a given remedy so pick the closest match. If symptoms change, take a remedy that matches your new symptoms.

Dosage: One 12X, 6C, 12C, 30C dose. Then one dose after each episode of vomiting or if diarrhea is present after each stool. The symptoms should lessen over time. Or, see the Dosage Chart

If no improvement in 6-8 hours, find a better fitting remedy.

Notes:

If a self-selected remedy – however well indicated – doesn’t help and your symptoms worsen such as with severe weakness or abdominal pain, see your doctor.
