Webinar Q&A – Cell Salts
Q: Can homeopathic cell salts be taken more frequently than higher potency
remedies?
A: Yes, generally homeopathic cells can be taken more frequently than higher
potency remedies, but as always, dosing plans should be individualized.
“Nurture Your Inner Athlete with Homeopathic Cell Salts”, Tanya Renner,
Homeopathy Today, Summer, 2015
Webinar Q&A – Cell Salts
A: Most remedies should be taken individually as indicated, but some cell salts
also act nicely when combined. Please see your cell salt resources for a more
detailed discussion.
Within the homeopathic cell salt system, some practitioners do not recommend
taking the following remedies together in the same dose:
• Calc sulph 6x & Kali mur 6x
• Nat sulph 6x & Nat mur 6x
• Silica 6x & Calc sulph 6x
Some people also use pressure wrist bands-acupressure and ginger. (Maybe
ginger candy.)
Webinar Q&A - Dosing
Q: Can you take just one pellet instead of the usual 3 pellets? Is this dosing just
as effective?
A: For most people that number of pellets in not as important as the frequency
of dosing. The frequency of dosing is important. See slide on “Frequency.”
