Advice for between tests – FAQ’s
I’m having acute symptoms that I’ve experienced previously; can I take the remedy that worked for this before?
Yes you can, as long as it’s a remedy from your homeopathy first aid kit, or your last report says you can use it if needed.

Please stop taking that remedy for 3 days and then try it again. If it increases symptoms again then stop it until your next retest and continue with the rest of the treatment plan.

Ongoing access to Sonia by email or other messaging is not included in our service.
