Homeopathy

Our homeopathy range brings together remedies from Boiron and Hyland's: single remedies in multi-tube pellet packs, combination tablets, single-dose liquid vials, ointments, gels and children's syrups. Remedies are listed by their traditional names and potencies, and many packs carry imported labelling, so read each label for directions and age guidance before use.

How to read a homeopathic label

Homeopathic products are named after their starting material, usually in Latin, followed by a potency:

  • C potencies, such as 30C, mean the starting material has been diluted 1 in 100 at each step, 30 times over.
  • X potencies, used by Hyland's, mean 1 in 10 dilution steps, so 30X is 30 steps of 1 in 10.
  • CK, as in Boiron Arnica Montana 200CK, refers to the Korsakovian method of preparation.

Single remedies, such as Boiron Arnica Montana 30C, Hypericum perforatum, Bryonia, Rhus tox and Silicea, are usually sold as tubes of small pellets. Combination products carry brand names instead and list several ingredients on the pack.

Formats in this range

  • Pellet tubes: packs of three tubes are common, often around 80 pellets per tube.
  • Single-dose liquids: pre-measured vials such as the Boiron Camilia range for babies and children.
  • Tablets: Boiron and Hyland's combination tablets in 50 to 60 count packs.
  • Topicals: Boiron Arnicare Gel, Arnicare Cream, Boiron Calendula Ointment and Hyland's ointments and salves.
  • Syrups: Boiron Chestal honey syrups for adults and children.

Buying homeopathy sensibly

In the UK, homeopathic remedies are regulated as medicines. We describe what is on each pack and make no claims about how well a remedy works. Use products only as the label directs, keep to the age ranges printed on children's packs, and never use a remedy in place of prescribed treatment. If symptoms persist or you are pregnant, see a pharmacist or GP. For children's products from other brands, browse Kids' Health.

Homeopathy: your questions answered

What does 30C mean on a homeopathic remedy?

It describes how the remedy was prepared: the starting material was diluted 1 in 100, thirty times in succession. X potencies use 1 in 10 steps instead, and CK refers to Boiron's Korsakovian method.

How are homeopathic pellets taken?

Follow the label on each pack. Pellets are usually placed under the tongue to dissolve rather than swallowed with water, and the label gives the number of pellets and how often to take them.

Are there homeopathic remedies for children?

Some packs are labelled for children, such as Boiron Chestal Kids and the Camilia single doses, and each states a minimum age. Use only products labelled for your child's age, and ask a pharmacist before using any remedy for a baby.

Can I use homeopathic remedies alongside my usual medicines?

Do not stop or replace any prescribed medicine with a homeopathic remedy. If you take regular medication or are pregnant, check with your pharmacist or GP before use.

Where do the remedy names come from?

They are the traditional names of the starting materials, usually in Latin. Arnica montana is mountain arnica, Hypericum perforatum is St John's wort and Calendula is the marigold.
