How is a homeopathic remedy made?
A natural substance is ground down and soaked in a water-and-alcohol solution for some time, and is then filtered. The strange thing is, the substance is then discarded and only the water-and-alcohol solution is retained. This solution is called the mother tincture. From the mother tincture we take one drop and add a further 99 drops of fresh water-and-alcohol solution (this dilution process is known as attenuation), and this solution is shaken vigorously.

Getting rid of warts for good
Q: Hi Genie, I wondered if you have a suggested remedy for my son Callum who’s 8. He has an outbreak of veruccas on his feet. A cluster of 4 on one foot and one on the other foot. Poor thing. We are trying a ‘Scholl freeze verucca and wart remover’ treatment which can be used on children over 4 years old. I thought a treatment could help to boost the healing process. Thanks so much. Liz
