Homeopathic Remedies

Description

Homoeopathics are oral drops made from diluted and potentised natural materials. They work powerfully to heal the total individual physically and mentally. Homeopathic first aid is generally very straightforward and very effective.

Only a few drops (4) are necessary, and need not be swallowed, but only must contact the mucous membranes (gums, tongue, lips).

It is also very easy to administer internally and most animals eagerly accept homeopathic medication once they have experienced it a few times.

Excellent first aid, homoeopathics also can stimulate long-term healing.
