Homeopathy is a well-established system of natural medicine, practised worldwide for over 200 years. It is built on the principle of like cures like , a substance capable of producing certain symptoms in a healthy person can, when prepared homeopathically, help the body resolve those same symptoms. It works by activating the vital force, the body's innate intelligence to heal and restore balance.

Remedies are sourced from plants, minerals, and other natural substances. Through a process of serial dilution and succussion (vigorous shaking), they become potentised - carrying an energetic signature rather than a chemical one. At higher potencies, no measurable trace of the original substance remains; at lower potencies, only minute amounts may be present.

When a remedy closely matches the symptom picture you are experiencing, physically, emotionally, mentally, it meets the body where it is and activates the vital force to begin restoring balance.

This is why symptom matching matters more than a diagnosis. Homeopathy treats you and your unique experience, not the label.

Most remedies at Rewilded Remedies are stocked as Fibonacci Homochords, a unique formulation containing multiple potencies in a single bottle, following the Fibonacci sequence: 3C, 5C, 8C, 13C, 21C, 34C, 55C, 89C, 144C, and 233C. Some blends and select single remedies are prepared in other potencies depending on their intended use.

Traditionally, selecting the correct potency is an art in itself, the wrong potency on the right remedy can mean it simply doesn't land. Homochords remove that guesswork by covering a broad spectrum of energetic levels, so you only need to focus on matching the remedy to the symptom picture. They tend to work more gently, with fewer aggravations, and are particularly well suited for first aid and home prescribing.

Each bottle contains a homeopathic remedy, a potentised preparation of a natural substance (plant, mineral, or compound) preserved in Australian organic brandy and distilled water.

Organic brandy is used to preserve the remedies naturally, without synthetic additives or chemicals. The brandy content in each bottle is high to ensure a long shelf life, however each dose is only a couple of drops, so the actual amount of alcohol consumed per dose is minimal. For those who prefer to reduce alcohol intake further, water dosing is a great option, just a couple of drops into a bottle of water dilutes it significantly while remaining fully effective.

Homeopathic remedies do not typically contraindicate pharmaceutical medications and are generally considered safe to use alongside them. If you have concerns about a specific situation, speak with a qualified homeopath or your prescribing doctor.

Keep your remedies out in a cool, dark place out of direct sunlight, and away from strong odours and electromagnetic fields (phones, microwaves, speakers). Stored properly, liquid remedies will maintain their potency for a long time.

Each bottle has a best before date of two years from opening. When stored properly in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight, strong odours, and electrical sources, they will remain potent for many years.

Each 15ml bottle contains approximately 250 drops. Since a dose is just two drops, that gives you well over 100 doses per bottle. If you are water dosing, a single bottle can stretch even further.

Start by observing the symptoms as clearly as you can, not just the physical complaint, but how it feels, what makes it better or worse, and any emotional state accompanying it. Then match that picture to the remedy description that fits most closely.

In homeopathy, the closer the match between your symptoms and the remedy's profile, the more effective it will be.

The key principle to remember: with homeopathy, it's the frequency of dosing that matters, not the quantity. A single dose is sufficient, you adjust how often you repeat it based on the intensity of what you're addressing.

If there is no shift after several doses, pause and reassess. The symptom picture may have changed, or a different remedy may be a better fit.

It's also worth knowing that in people with underlying chronic illness, acute remedies can sometimes be limited in their effectiveness, the deeper condition can obstruct the body's ability to fully respond.

Healing isn't always linear, and sometimes the body reveals a new layer once the process has begun. For chronic, recurring, or complex conditions, working one-on-one with a homeopath will give you the deeper support you need.

This is one of the most common questions in households that use homeopathy. Because remedies work energetically rather than chemically, the quantity consumed doesn't increase the effect. Whether your child takes two drops or drinks the entire bottle in one go, the body registers it as a single dose. There is no risk of overdose or toxicity from the remedy itself. However, because our remedies are preserved in organic brandy, we do recommend storing them out of reach of children.

Not always. Homeopathy works by supporting the body's own healing process, not by suppressing symptoms. Symptoms like fever, vomiting, or discharge are often the body's intelligent way of resolving what it needs to, and a well-chosen remedy supports that process rather than shutting it down. So after a dose, you might notice a shift in energy, mood, or comfort before the physical symptom itself resolves. A child with a fever may become calmer, more settled, and more themselves even while the fever continues to do its work. Someone who is nauseous may have one big vomit after a dose and then feel completely better. These are signs the remedy is working with the body, not against it.The key signs to watch for are improvements in the person's overall state, their demeanour, their energy, their emotional ease, even if the surface symptom is still present or temporarily intensifies as the body completes its process.

The remedies in the shop are suited to acute and first aid situations, things that arise suddenly and tend to resolve within a short timeframe. For anything chronic, recurring, deeply rooted, or layered with emotional complexity, chronic prescribing with a practitioner is the appropriate path. That process looks at the whole person, your history, your patterns and your constitution, not just the surface symptoms.
