• Open homeopathic bottles in a room without essential oil or other aromas present and administer the pellets there. If we are going to also use essential oils, we will wait about 30 minutes and then apply essential oils topically. If we take essential oils internally, we prefer to have a space of 2 hours between the essential oil use and taking the homeopathic remedy. Preferably, the homeopathic remedy is taken first.
• You want your palate to be “clean” in the sense that it is free from aromatics. Avoid strong aromas such as mint, camphor, eucalyptus, tea tree, onion, garlic and so on. You may inadvertently antidote a homeopathic remedy, neutralize it or render it useless with particularly strong odors. We typically separate homeopathic use with strong aromatic use about 30 minutes topically and 2 hours orally if possible.
• Dose is usually about 3 pellets (no worries if you get more - this does not increase the effect and is not harmful). Homeopathic pellets are generally taken orally under the tongue or in the cheek until dissolved. 
• Usually one would not take a remedy more than 3-5 times in a 24-hour period. In many cases, we will take a dose, and if the symptoms improve, then we don't take another dose until the symptoms return, thus we allow our body to indicate when and if we need another dose.
• If the remedy does not ease the condition after 3 doses (no closer than 15 minutes apart), we re-evaluate and try a different remedy. 
• Many times the "right" remedy will ease symptoms within 20 minutes. 
• We typically don't try more than 3 remedies without consulting someone trained in homeopathy or our homeopathic book resources.
• Illnesses may go through stages. It may be necessary to change remedies as the symptom picture changes. In this way, we are “chasing symptoms” until the illness is resolved.
• Homeopathy works best when matched with the totality of the symptoms. Please click on the link provided to Homeopathic Materia Medica to differentiate which remedy is needed, using the guiding symptoms.

Testimonies
1. This is an amazing remedy. In our family, when an illness comes, some family members want to be left alone and are quite irritable, while others pace and are constantly moving. Those who want to be left alone do very well with Bryonia, and those that pace respond to Rhus tox. - Lynn

2. When confronted by a cold, flu or any respiratory virus, my mainstays are a common Banerji Protocol and speed. I have averted many viruses with Aconitum napellus 200 mixed with Bryonia alba 30, taken at the first inkling that a virus is taking over my system. Not later or before bed. Not the next day. I’m talking IMMEDIATELY at the first sign that I’m feeling an illness coming on. (And repeating every few hours — depending on the severity of the illness — until very much better or until the presenting symptoms require a different medicine.) And not uncommonly, I and my family get sick less and less often as the years go by, by virtue of such knowledge. That’s why I recommend that anyone susceptible to viruses (and that means everyone) carries Aconite 200 and Bryonia 30 in their pocket or purse. Don’t leave home without it!- Joette Calabrese
