LEARN: Preparing Dosage Bottles and Using Remedies

 
 

RemedY BASICS II:

PREPARING A DOSAGE BOTTLE & MORE

 

Dear Ones,

Welcome. Below is a brief and easy to follow how to guide on preparing a personal dosage bottle of vibrational remedy and basic instructions on how to take your remedy and when to reevaluate your remedy choice. I hope you find this useful in your remedy journey.

PREPARING & USING YOUR REMEDIES

Once you have identified the remedy or remedies you wish to use or blend into a formula you can either take them directly as indicated on the stock bottle (as they are sold in retail settings) or extend the life of your supply by creating a dosage or treatment bottle for yourself (what you will receive from a practitioner). There are may resources for making dosage or treatment bottles, both online and in print . Most are based upon the work of Dr. Edward Bach, a Welsh physician who promoted the healing power of flower remedies in the early 1900s and wished to make them as accessible as possible. There are dosage variations one can explore, preservation method options, suggestions for how to select remedies for formulas, instructions for further potentizing remedies and more. I can discuss some of these further in future and/or you can refer to the detailed information I offer in some of the other free guides I’ve created on this site.

CREATING A DOSAGE/TREATMENT BOTTLE - BACH METHOD

  • 2 drops of each individual stock remedy in a clean 1 fl.oz./30 ml., amber or dark glass dropper bottle (maximum of 7 individual remedies, usually fewer).

  • A minimum of 5 milliliters of brandy (or other high-proof drinking alcohol, 40% alcohol by volume or higher) as preservative. I primarily use local, Demeter® Certified Biodynamic® brandy for this purpose (for non alcohol-sensitive individuals).

  • The remainder of the 30ml volume filled with living spring water or purified water.

TAKING YOUR REMEDY - BACH METHOD

  • 4 drops from your treatment bottle (or 2 drops of pure stock remedy) under the tongue (pause before swallowing).

  • 4 times a day (typically morning, noon, afternoon, night).

  • 4 weeks duration (approximately).

  • Repeat the above steps for a total of 3 cycles, minimum.

ALTERNATIVE METHODS OF TAKING REMEDIES

  • 4 drops in a glass of water (best at transitional times like waking, lunch, after work, bed).

  • Add a full day’s dose to a bottle or glass of water and sip it throughout the day.

  • Apply to the skin (over the heart, back of the neck/base of skull, over throat, over organs, top of head, palms and bottoms of feet...)

  • Diffuse in the environment (create an alcohol based spray or add to cold diffuser).

  • Options for Alcohol sensitive individuals

    • Add to hot water and/or allow the glass to sit, facilitating evaporation

    • Use glycerine based preparations (available through some producers and practitioners)

    • Note that a dose of a standard, alcohol-preserved preparation contains similar amounts of alcohol as many common foods such as very ripe bananas, orange juice, and some cheeses. 

REEVALUATE AND/OR REPEAT

A 3-4 week remedy cycle is typically repeated a minimum of three times in order to effect more lasting change (especially for long-held patterns), when following the Bach method of treatment. Due to the “onion-peeling” effect of remedies, you may in future find yourself revisiting a remedy you thought “completed.” This is normal. Some individuals find it useful to reevaluate their remedy selection after each cycle and make minor adjustments as necessary. Others feel ready to discontinue the remedy before completing three full cycles. I maintain that each individual is unique and you know yourself best. I encourage clients to trust their intuition and do what feels right for themselves. 

May your exploration of vibrational remedies be fruitful.

I Bid You Peace,
Natalia
