Are there restrictions on diet that must be practiced when taking homeopathic medicines?
There has been a great deal of discussion and controversy among homeopaths regarding this issue. Over the years various substances have been suggested which might either “antidote” or work against homeopathic treatment. Among the long list of these ingredients are: coffee, mint, camphor, chocolate, strong perfumes, certain spices, vegetables, and conventional drugs. At this time, there is absolutely no evidence to suggest that any of these substances would cause a uniform antidoting effect upon individuals consuming homeopathic medicines. There may be very good reasons why certain individuals should refrain from use of these products. In many cases individuals may be sensitive to these products or the agents might pose certain health risks due to their underlying medical condition, but not due to any homeopathic reason.
