I live in Oman, and there is no place here to buy Homeopathic remedies. Does anyone know of a good, reliable site to visit that I can order remedies online? And I want a reputable company please. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!! Thanksssssss, Lisa

www.helios.co.uk is the site for Helios Homoeopathics - very high quality remedies indeed. They're very helpful as a company too. Ainsworths is another source I know and their site is www.ainsworths.com

Both of these companies are highly reputable and well respected companies and I'm sure other homoeopaths on the BB will corroborate this if you need reassurance!

Hope that's useful

Dear Janine- Thanks, but when I tried both sites...I ran into problems...so frustrating. Helios doesn't seem to have the potencies that I need...so got nowhere there..
Tried Ainsworth, and everytime I clicked on submit order - it kept giving an error message saying that it could not process my order..(perhaps Ainsworth doesn't mail overseas?? Nothing on the site indicated one way or the other!!).

Any other online shops to recommend?? That will mail to me overseas?? Greatly appreciated!! Lisa

I suggest you phone Helios as they have every conceivable remedy and potency on the market you could ever want. It is where I get all my remedies from. They potenise anything you send them and make any potency you want from their 3C. Maybe there is a limited choice online. Did you E mail them? What was it you wanted?

Luyties is my favorite company. Been around since the 1800's. Kent actually worked in the shop. Their pellets dissolve quickly, which is nice with small children or pets. I'm not sure if you can order online, but their site is: www.1800HOMEOPATHY.com

I just checked and their site does process orders. However, I noticed their kits are not listed. They carry a Household Kit of 40 remedies in either the 6x, 12x, or 30x potencies. They also carry a cell salt kit. You may want to have them send a catalog.

P.S. As to their quality, I do know that they go to the country where the plant, etc. originated to put in their remedies, thinking, for example, that perhaps a plant native to the Phillipines may not have the same energy if grown in the U.S.

Oh my goodness...thanks so much you guys!

I emailed everyone (Lyuties, Helios and others!! and no one responded except one company that I found in Glasgow - who HAND makes their remedies!! (Which I am pleased to find out!!). The company is called Freemans - apparently a reputable outfit according to some of my friends.

Ricky - I am ordering TUB CM, Sulph x12 and x30, Sepia CM and M, and Nux Vom x12. I have been consulting with GM AND my local Homeopath and they are both in agreement about which remedies Alex and I should be taking. WE ARE NOT TAKING THESE ALL AT ONCE - so please don't worry!!
You might ask why I didn't get the remedies through him....he is having the same predicament as me - in getting his remedies shipped here....so we are both trying to find the best way to get the remedies (and that is why I have ordered them - and HOPE that customs will allow them through!!!! !!).

SO, thanks everyone - I really appreciate your input...I will keep everything in mind - I have printed this out - for possible future reference.

(Oh - Ricky - I stopped taking the Sepia...and have had a break from it - when the remedies arrive - I will take sulph and then TUB - then we will see how my symptoms change!! Then go from there) LISA

I am surprised with Helios and will ask when I next phone them about shipping abroad. I have to say I don't E mail them but phone my orders in as it is more reliable!! I get them the next day which is great.

Ricky - I was surprised too - as I was familiar with Helios - but never got a response to this day...after 2 email queries. Perhaps they are busy doing work on the site...anyhow - we're all sorted now...thx Lisa
