Dear Rajan,

I've noticed that the materia medicas don't list antidotes for the nosodes! Very troubling, since my daughter, on separate occasions, proved
Medorrhinum and Tuberculinum and there was nothing I could do! And the homeopaths assumed no responsibility! I would have at least given me my money back!

Well, what you can do is prescribe on the presenting symptoms if you see a remedy image.
For instance, if the Hippoz. had caused bleeding, you might give one of the snake remedies; it all depends on what it caused--what symptoms you're trying to get rid of.

If you have a lower potency of Hippoz., you could give a dose of that.

I have heard that Peppermint Essential Oil rubbed into the chest will antidote a remedy; I know someone who successfully did it.

I have actually antidoted remedies by repeating the exact same dose of the remedy--I've done this 3 times. Once I had given my daughter with a cold a dose of Rhus tox 30C because I assumed the etiology was exposure to cold, damp air; but when I noticed her getting worse after the remedy, I said, "Uh-oh...here goes nothing!" and I gave her another dose of Rhus tox 30C and it worked! It cancelled itself out!

This is why they always tell you, "Once a remedy has started to work, don't repeat it!" Cuz you'll spoil everything. This is why I always say, "Put it in water, succuss before each use."
That way, you're never taking the EXACT SAME potency twice.

Let me know if you have more questions.
