Unlike conventional medications, homeopathic remedies do not have side effects in the usual meaning of the term. Remedies are vibrational in nature, and effect their healing through assisting the organism in manifesting its own potential for cure. There is no material substance in a homeopathic remedy that could cause any toxicity.
However, except in first aid situations, homeopathic remedies should be selected and administered with care and knowledge. Occasionally a remedy can produce a short-term intensification of symptoms. Also, long-term administration of a remedy which is not resonant with the patient can cause what are called “proving symptoms”, in which vibrational characteristics of the remedy become superimposed on the patient. These are almost always temporary and resolve after stopping the remedy. However, these possibilities point to the importance of consulting with an experienced and qualified homeopath before selecting a remedy to stimulate healing from a serious or chronic illness.
