Nerve Pain/Neuralgia - HomeoSource

Dosage:

6C or 30C or 200C depending on severity of pain (unless otherwise noted below).
See the Dosage Chart for frequency based on severity of pain.
- When symptoms improve, stop taking the remedy.
- Repeat if symptoms return
- If pain persists after a few days, seek medical care.

Notes:

The more severe the injury, the higher the dose you can use.
The more severe the pain, the more often you can repeat it.
Use common sense – see a health care provider for serious injuries. A doctor will provide a diagnosis and/or a professional homeopath can evaluate your symptoms in the context of your whole person.
