Is it that one has to observe numerous restrictions and precautions while undergoing homeopathic treatment?
A. This is a common myth. One has to follow the diet in relation to patho-physiology of the disease diagnosed. For example, diabetic patients should follow precautions and restrictions with relation to sugar and sweets. Similarly, hypertensive patients should be on low sodium diet. Apart from these restrictions based on patho-physiology of disease condition there are very few food restrictions and precautions that one has to follow while undergoing homeopathic treatment. However, for best result it is recommended that homoeopathic medicines should not be taken with food or water. One should give a gap of 10-15 minutes before and after taking the medicine.
