One Remedy At A Time

Have you ever felt tempted to give your dog several homeopathic remedies at once — especially when their symptoms seem complicated?

I get it. When you're dealing with something like allergies, anxiety, or chronic illness, you want to cover all the bases. But in homeopathy, less is often more — and combining multiple strong remedies can actually cause more harm than good.

Even though this is well known in professional homeopathic circles, many self-prescribing pet parents are unaware. Let me explain why we want to separate remedies carefully and give them the space they need to act.

Why We Don't Combine Multiple Remedies

👉 Vital Force: Too many signals at once can overwhelm your dog’s natural healing energy and slow progress.

👉 Lacks Clarity of Improvement: If the situation improves or worsens, you won’t know which remedy was responsible.

👉 Remedy interference: Multiple remedies can interact in ways that distort the true symptom picture.

👉 Suppression: Giving too much at once may push symptoms deeper or cause them to disappear artificially — not true healing.

👉 Triggering new symptoms: Deep-acting remedies can create unwanted effects (a “proving”) if not well matched and given carefully.

👉 Symptom Precision: Homeopathy is based on selecting best remedy for the individual at that moment based on the totality of symptoms — combining remedies takes away this precision.

How Far Apart Should Remedies Be Given?

Here’s a simple rule of thumb:

• In an acute situation (like injury or sudden illness), you may repeat a remedy every15 minutes to every few hours if needed. Need is assessed by signs improvement or lack thereof — but still stick with one remedy at a time. If you have selected the wrong remedy, then you may change remedies.

• In chronic cases, give a single well-selected remedy and observe for a period of several days to a week or more before adding anything else.
  Some deep remedies can act for weeks — even one dose can create a long-lasting effect.

If another remedy is needed after observing the full response, that’s when you would introduce it — not layered on top of the first.

Best Practice: One Remedy, One Response

Homeopathy works by stimulating your dog’s vital force to correct imbalance and restore health. To do that clearly and cleanly:

• Give one well-chosen remedy at a time.

• Allow space to observe the response before adding anything else or changing the rememdy.

• Work with an experienced homeopathic practitioner for complex cases.
