Homeopathic medicines work subtly. If you are dealing with a sudden issue, you may feel results sooner than if you are dealing with a longstanding issue. Homeopathic medicines have no known side effects. If you experience any negative sensations while using HELP, discontinue use and contact a health practitioner.

Homeopathic medicines have no known drug interactions. If you are taking other drugs or medications, you should consult your health practitioner when considering taking homeopathic medicines.

Help Homeopathy and its principals are not medical professionals and do not offer medical advice, diagnose or treat. If you do take HELP, always read and follow the label directions. All claims are based on traditional homeopathic practice, not accepted medical evidence. Not FDA evaluated.

The process of making homeopathic medicines like help is called potentization. It involves finely crushing a plant, animal, mineral or chemical substance and dissolving it in a solvent such as grain alcohol to create a mother tincture. (If the substance is something that doesn’t dissolve naturally, it’s mixed with lactose instead. That’s called tituration.)

The mother tincture (or the tituration) is then put through a precise and controlled series of steps: dilution and succussion (succussion is the technical term for vigorous and finely calibrated shaking). 

Repeated dilution in an alcohol-water mix, according to a precise mathematical ratio, dilutes the mother tincture exponentially. 

After each dilution step, the mother tincture or tituration undergoes a succussion. This time-honored process of mathematical dilution followed by precision succussion is what gives homeopathic medicines their therapeutic power. This process was once done by hand. Now it is done by machine in FDA compliant facilities that operate within U.S. Food and Drug Administration regulations as well as the standards of the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States (HPUS).

For consistency and safety, homeopathic active ingredients are officially referred to by their Latin name and listed that way in the Homoeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States (HPUS). The HPUS is a book which details quality and preparation standards for homeopathic medicines. Every homeopathic medicine listed in the HPUS has an official monograph (an approved document detailing the medicine’s standards and specifications). An HPUS listing means the medicine meets the HPUS standard. It also means that the medicine was studied and approved by experts in homeopathy.

The number indicates the medicine’s potency. Homeopathic ingredients exist on a scale of potency. The higher the number, the more times the ingredient has been diluted and succussed, and the stronger it is. This may seem counterintuitive, but that’s what homeopathic potentization does. It unlocks the beneficial power of the substance and helps minimize any negative effects the substance might have when it exists in its original, non-homeopathic form. Once you understand this, it won’t surprise you to learn that there are beneficial homeopathic medicines made from substances like poison ivy.

The letter C indicates the ratio used to arrive at the potency. C stands for centesimal, i.e. a 1:100 ratio. It’s created by diluting 1 part of the mother tincture in 99 parts of alcohol, then succussing (vigorously shaking) the resulting solution. One part of that resulting solution is then diluted in 99 drops of alcohol, and succussed.  This process is repeated over and over until the potency number is reached.  A 200C means the 1 drop in 99 drops of alcohol mixture process was done 200 times. 

The K indicates the method by which this process was performed.  K stands for Korsakovian method, in which all of the dilutions are performed in one container.

Homeopathy is a system of medicine developed by German Physician Dr Samuel Hahnemann in 1796. It is based on The Law of Similars—a substance which produces symptoms in a well person can cure similar symptoms in an ill person if that substance is exponentially diluted and precisely shaken. Dr Hahnemann proved this ‘like cures like’ principle with plant, animal and mineral substances. These provings became the homeopathic medicines he used to safely and successfully treat patients throughout Europe.

Homeopathic medicines have been used continually worldwide since that time. They are currently used by over one billion people globally. Due to their extremely dilute nature, they are gentle, non toxic, and have no known side effects or drug interactions. They were widely used in the United States until the mid twentieth century, and are gaining prominence again as people become more involved in their own wellness. 

Homeopathic medicines are classified by the FDA as Over The Counter (OTC) drugs. They are available without a prescription and labeled and made according to strict guidelines. The production of homeopathic medicines is governed by the HPUS, the Homeopathic Pharmacopeia of the United States. The manufacture of homeopathic medicines is strictly regulated by the FDA. However finished homeopathic products are not FDA approved. As such, they are mandated carry the following disclaimer: Claims based on traditional homeopathic practice, not accepted medical evidence. Not evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
