What is the difference between getting homeopathic treatment and buying the medicines at a pharmacy or health food store?
You may find either single or combination homeopathic medicines, as they are becoming increasingly available even in neighborhood pharmacies. These medicines are commonly in 30C potencies or lower, not as strong as your homeopath would typically use. Such products may be helpful in self-treatment for acute illnesses, but we discourage self-treatment for chronic conditions such as AS, depression, irritable bowel syndrome, eczema, or allergies. You would not go to a pharmacy to buy bandages so that you could perform minor surgery on your child. In the same way, treatment of chronic conditions should be left to professionals.
