(WHEN WHAT YOU NEED ISN’T SOLD AT THE STORE OR YOU CAN’T GET TO THE STORE)
What’s the value of knowing this? It’s immense! If you’re sea sick, you can make a remedy out of sea water; if you’re sick from vacationing in Mexico, you can make a remedy out of the pathogen-infested local water (no offense to our lovely Mexican readers)! If the polluted air or pollens in the air are causing your problem, you can put a saucer of water outside for a few hours or days and let it collect whatever is in the air, and then make a remedy out of that. The list of possibilities is endless; in fact, when you’re desperate, and you’ve seemingly tried everything, there’s your own body to make remedies from: your discharges, your urine, your blood–you’re never really without remedies, are you? So now, if you’re ready, here are the directions:
Get a small bottle of spring water (but in an emergency any water will do), the exact amount of water or the size of the bottle is not relevant. I always say a small bottle because small is cheapest. So, an 8 ounce or 12 ounce bottle, let’s say. Pour half the water out (but save the water, don’t pour it down the drain).
Now you have half a bottle of water. Pour in a small amount of what you’re trying to make a remedy of–let’s say for the sake of argument that you want to make “Homeopathic Pepsi Cola”; therefore, your water bottle should now consist of a solution of 90% water and 10% Pepsi–there’s no need to be fussy about your percentages–just guess at what 10% might be.
“Succuss” this solution (pound the bottle into your opposite palm) 40 times and after having done that, get a piece of paper and write down “Pepsi 1X”–meaning that you now have Pepsi in the 1X potency, this means you’ve done a one-in-ten dilution with 40 succussions and you’ve done it just once.
Now pour out 90% of this solution–again, no need to be fussy– and refill half way with spring or distilled water, succuss 40 times, and write down “2X” (meaning you’ve now dumped out, refilled, and succussed 40 times, twice).
Now pour out 90% again and refill half way with water again and succuss 40 times again and write down “3X” this time. Keep doing this til you’ve reached either a 6X or a 12X or a 30X–depending on what potency you want. A 6X would have to be taken more often as it’s a lower potency–in a chronic case, two to four times a day; whereas, a 12X would be taken once or twice a day and a 30X as needed–one dose may be enough, depending on what’s wrong.
Now label your bottle (Pepsi 6X) and store in the refrigerator. A sip is a dose. Before each dose, succuss 10 times. When the bottle gets low (when 90% is gone), fill it back up half way with water, succuss 40 times and now you’ll have a 7X; then, resume as before.
If you’re trying to make your remedy from something more solid, like for example, if you want to antidote the side effects of a medicine you’re on, like Penicillin, for example. Empty a penicillin capsule into a small amount of water and let it sit until the water is thoroughly saturated with the substance. Stir the substance a few times. Now empty it into your water bottle to get the 90% water, 10% substance ratio that we talked about before. Now proceed with “potenization”, the process described above, for making a remedy out of Pepsi.
A brief note on dosing: Let’s say you’ve made a 6X. In an acute, you may have to take a swallow every 15 minutes, taking less and less often as you get better. Always succuss the bottle before dosing. If you should get worse, stop the remedy; an improvement may follow. If it does, repeat only as needed.
If you’re making this remedy for a chronic case, figure on three times a day, but be prepared to take more or less often, depending on how quickly or slowly you improve.
HOW TO PLUS YOUR BOTTLE
When your remedy bottle is no longer working, you’ll need to raise the potency. The way to do it is this:
1. Pour out 90% of your bottle.
2. Refill with bottled water half way.
3. Succuss (pound the bottle into your opposite palm) 40 times.
4. Again, for the second time, pour out 90% of the bottle.
5. Refill with water half way.
6. Succuss 40 times.
7. Repeat one more time. You will now have raised the potency by 3 degrees. It should now start working again.
What if you have to make a remedy out of a solid pill?
You need to some how grind or mash this pill, or two pills, up into a powder. It can be done. I’ve done it using a chopping knife. I could have used my coffee grinder if I had thought of it. A mortar and pestle would be another way.
Editor’s Note: Readers are advised not to start making remedies from everything listed in Paragraph 1. The procedure given in this article should be used only under special conditions when an indicated remedy is not available and that also after consulting with your homeopath.

I found your site through a google search on making your own homeopathic remedies. I have made them many times in the past, but couldn’t remember how many times I should succuss in-between pouring out the water. So, thank you.
However, there is one thing that I was quite shocked at, and that is that you said to put it in the refrigerator. I was always taught that homeopathic remedies should NEVER be placed near or on a refrigerator, lamps, clock radios, televisions, computers etc as these electrical items can immediately zap the remedy useless. Same thing as keeping them away from strong odors, not smoking, don’t eat mint, raw onions or garlic, etc can also render the remedies useless.
Personally, I would rather not take the chance of putting it in the refrigerator. There’s really no need.
Kimberly, you certainly don’t have to put the remedy in the refrigerator if you don’t want to. I always say to do that because it keeps the remedy out of the light; but, if my own example means anything, I have remedies in my refrigerator right now and they absolutely work. I have Ferrum Phos 200C in the refrigerator, which I take always at the first sign of a cold, and it has not failed me yet. In fact, I have had my remedies go through that x-ray counter at the airport and they still worked.
Anyway, the number of succussions between dilutions is 40.
I feel fortunate after reading this great article, because I was just looking after meaning of a word ‘succuss’. A nice help to everyone interested is extended through this article. One thing I would like to submit is that medicine after preparation may spoil in due course of time if not kept in refrigerator. There are countries where people can not afford refrigerator or if they can, they do not get whole day power supply. I propose if approved by Elaine Lewis to put some drops of pure ethyl alcohol. This is the stuff that is used by medicine companies in preparing medicines.

I agree! Putting some alcohol, brandy, etc. in the remedy bottle will keep mold from growing in it.
Wow, having seen how easy it all is, I almost feel stupid for spending so much money on shop-bought homeopathic remidies when the ingredients are so cheap!
Thanks Elaine!
Well, you can certainly make you’re own Nat-mur; but others, like Phosphorus, Mercury, etc., you really will have to buy at the store.
I think that some remedy sources have become “tainted” in these modern times. For instance, you cannot take common table salt and make a Nat-mur remedy because most table salt is iodised (it contains Iodine as well). Also with plants that have been treated with pesticides/herbicides, have been hybridized, gmo’d, etc… Even nosodes, as our bodies have accumulated toxins over the decades. You have to go to the source of the original proving. There might just become a time (not far off) that all remedies will have to be re-proven with the newer (new global climate) remedy sources. What do you think?
I think that is so true! You could definitely not make Dandelion, for example, without going to a super-pure environment; and the same could be said for any plant; and yes, the nosodes are very specific, Psorinum having come from a single dock worker who is surely dead; in fact, he’s probably died at least twice by now!
Definition of Isopathy:
“Isopathy refers to the decision to ignore the symptom picture and give the substance which caused the problem in the first place. It is common in isopathy to give a product of a disease (nosode) for the disease itself, thus administering the same thing in an attenuated form. Many people use it as a shortcut to repertorizing.”
Isopathy is a good method, but we should not name it “homeopathy”, because it is not a cure by a similar, but it cures by the same substance that caused the disease.
A note to what once has written Paracelsus: For every disease a remedy (plant) grows in the vicinity of the patient. Well, then isopathy is the most modern application of what Paracelsus has advised to do.
Isopathy is a branch of homeopathy. It’s perfect for when there are no symptoms to repertorize! Everything is common–sneezing, runny nose, runny eyes…nothing peculiar; or, there are no symptoms but you know you’ve been exposed! Or, no symptoms, you just don’t feel well, and you know you drank the water! Or, all your symptoms match the side-effects of your antidepressant! What are you going to take? Does that mean you’re too lazy to repertorize? You’ve found the culprit, the etiology, the “ailments from”! Etiology over-rules symptomatology. Sometimes the isopathic remedy is the only one that will cure, especially when well-selected remedies have been tried and failed. But, of course, when you see a remedy picture in a case, go for the remedy, not the isopathic.
This is an excellent article. This method works in 90% of cases as a routine treatment method.
Thank you for your comments, Raja. Again I would just give the proviso that when you see a complete remedy picture in the patient, give the remedy, not the saliva potentized, or nasal discharge, or water the person drank, etc.; especially, if there are mentals that are peculiar to a remedy, like Arsenicum’s clinginess and restlessness.
Ah! God’s greatest gift is not let to spread, thanks to modern medical science.
But your article helps spread the work of God.

Dear Elaine,
as the aerosol spraying intensifyes, is it a good idea to use the rainwater in which the chemicals and iological agents (Morgellons / Mycoplasma etc) are found, or should we stay to the bodily fluid idea?
Many thanks,
(on behalf of many suffering people)
Tone
-sorry, BIOLOGICAL I mean. Thanks!
Dear Tone,
use the water if you see a clear cause-and-effect situation going on. In other words, someone says, “I’m not feeling well and I have a feeling it’s the water!”
This happened to me when I was in the Virgin Islands. I wasn’t feeling well and it actually took days for me to realize it was the water. If I had known this trick back then, I could have made a remedy out of it and gotten well faster.
But if no one is sick, and you just “think” the water is bad for you because of what you’ve read, you have nothing to treat.
Dear Elain,
when there is reason to believe, or it has been proven that the rain water contains aluminium and barium, maybe even mercury, would you still suggest to mix a remedy from this, or should one then rather stick to bodily fluids?
Tone, there has to be a problem in order to treat it. We are all exposed to horrible chemicals on a daily basis. Every time we eat, drink, breathe the air, even take a shower, something is getting in–whether through our pores, through inhalation or ingestion. However, a lot of us who are eating well and not taking drugs are going to be fine despite this onslaught! But let’s say we do get “sick”, who’s to say what the cause was? Was it pollutants in the water as you suspected? Or was it the the fumes given off from use of non-stick cookware or perhaps the aluminum in your anti-perspirant or exposure to computer or cell phone radiation? How are you to know? You can only know when there’s a clear cause-and-effect situation. “I drank the water and now I’m sick!” That’s when you know. That’s when you can make a remedy out of something.
Dear Elaine,
Im wondering; if plants struggle to grow and prosper due to pH imbalance and toxic soil, can I take the soil and the plant, make a remedy from and for it, and then water with that?
I have now made a saliva remedy for myself and I am mostly impressed with the result!
<3 Many many thanks for sharing this advice,
Tone
How do you know why your plants aren’t growing? Are we talking about indoor plants or your garden? I have no problem with the garden as long as I feed the soil before planting and mix top soil in with the dirt and I have to tell you, where I live now was originally a land-fill and not the best soil in the world! Also, some plants cannot tolerate direct sun, like impatiens, for example.
If you’re talking about indoor plants, there are so many variables…over-watering? Under-watering? Not enough sun? Too much sun? Not enough humidity? Then again, there are some plants that are really easy to take care of, like pothos and palms and aloe…and still others that are so sensitive, like ferns, they just don’t seem to last as soon as you take them out of the nursery, they start failing!
So, I’m not sure how you know why your plants aren’t growing. You haven’t told me how you’re preparing the soil for planting. Do you go to the garden center and buy the products they have available for enriching the soil? You almost always have to do that because of how poor the soil is in most locations. Enriching the soil, composting, etc. would be preferrable to making a remedy out of the soil.
Thank you for the information. This is a helpful article.
Sorry not to be more clear, all plants are outdoors in my garden, and I do not do anything to them. They had a stand still throughout most of the spring, which is highly unusual. Could a mix of the soil (which then also contains the rain water) make a good remedy?
You are a Godsend! I just ran out of my husbands “Regional Allergy” homeopathic remedy that I give him every year at this time when his allergies act up and being on SS now, am not able to afford to buy it. (it seems that since so many people are turning to homeopathic remedies that they are getting sky high)
I am following your directions with the bowl of water and will make the remedy myself. Thank you so much for this. You are a true healer by sharing your knowledge with all. God bless!
Nice to hear; let us know if making a remedy out of the “outdoors” works!
Hi Elaine,
I want to be sure about my thinking and wonder if I may run my thought by you. In Sept 2010, I was prescribed Gentamicin as a nasal wash with Nystatin and saline water. I developed tinnitus in both ears shortly after the ten day course. I feel very strongly that the gentamicin is the cause of my tinnitus. Of course, the prescribing doctor says it was too minute of a dose (80mg) to cause any damage. If you read anything on gentamicin (which I sorely wish I had done prior to using), it states that hearing can be affected.
Here’s my question: Do I need to get another prescription of the same exact ingredients or can I use gentamicin only (since that is the suspected culprit)? I can’t help but feel desperate to have this be a cure for this “lifetime” mistake I’ve made (with the assistance of my former doctor).
Any help or thoughts would be appreciated.
Dawn, sorry I didn’t see this post until now! You wrote it months ago, hopefully you came to a decision and made a remedy either out of the whole kit and kaboodle or just gentamicin; either one would have worked, I suspect.
Thank you so much for this informative article..I feel myself lucky enough to get a chance to read this wonderful article and I am definitely going to try out this .
Dear dr,
once i had a food in resurant. i got infaction and felt great pain. i took several homeopathic medicine but it did not subside. i had a chance to go to USA and one CHARIOPRACTITIONER prescribed several herbs in capsules but they didnot work for six months. i returned to INDIA and got cultured my stools and that showed a very rare bacteria and then allopathic doctor gave me 10 injectios but all invain. He said that there was no further treatment for this bacteria causing stomach pain and ulcers in my mouth. little sugar will aggravate the pain and my stomach will swell in pain and putrid gas.i took all the medicines given in various repertory saying aggravation from sweet/sugar but non worked. Now i thought to prepare bowel nosode from my own stool. it worked wonder. i raised its potency after 2 months when i required to repeat it. now i am fully cured but i have preserved it and changes its 90% distilled water say every week and success it 10 times. May be i require it sometime in future?
i think your article and my instance will give some usefull tips to drs to try this method
thanks
Dr Shekhar
Dear Dr.,
Yes, what you did is right along the lines of what I’ve been writing about! However, I’d be willing to bet that most people would be afraid to make a remedy out of a stool sample; but, you only need such a tiny amount! Yes, this method of making a remedy, either from your own discharges or the thing itself that hurt you; either way, it is often the only thing that will cure!
Wow this is the most interesting stuff I have read yet!The funny thing is I believe in the law of attraction strongly and it explains the reasons why such things are possible. Homeopathy is amazing. Is it possible for the blogger to contact me thru my email…as I have some questions I would like to ask in a more private setting. thanx
Floz, I don’t see your email here; but, my contact information should be at the bottom of the article.
Sir,
I have failed to understand why to succuss 40 times. When ever we want the potency in X form with 1/10 ratio you always succuss ten times this is what makes it succeeding X. And in C potency with 1/100 ration even the you succuss for 10 times. Can you explain 40 times logic behind.
Thanks
I must have read it somewhere; but, clearly, this is a random number because I have also read that you should succuss 100 times when changing the potency, and I have also read 20 times; AND, I have also heard that there is a machine that does it just once: a good hard shake and then the vial is dumped out, refilled, and shaken again! God only knows which one of these is “right”. The important thing, I suppose, is that you must succuss (any number of times) and then dump out and refill and succuss again. Certainly, the more one succusses, the more powerful the medicine becomes. If you want a gentler medicine, succuss fewer times. This is the only guidline I can give you.
Thanks for this advice, I have found however taking more than one dose increases the amount taken, and therefore lowers the potency. I find a single dose works better than more. However I find a single dose is too much for me sometimes, if I dilute my dose to infinity and don’t drink my water, it has the best result.
I have also stated a campaign to permanently cure everyone in my city. I have started creating remedies and pouring them down the sink. The mixing with such a large water supply dilutes the remedy exponentially. Making an ultra potent dose that everyone can enjoy for free just by drinking tap water. Please do not help me with this as any extra remedy added to the supply will only serve to concentrate it and decrease the potency.
if this works, I plan to start adding my formulas to the ocean, in order to medicate the a entire world with hyper dilute, super potent remedy.
Hmmm…The “remedy” will not survive the sunlight and chlorine that most municipals use to treat the water. Aside from that, how are you individualizing your prescription? Or have you found the universal remedy?
Hello there, I am very intrigued by this article. Elaine if you have any time at all I would love to speak to you more privately about some things regarding your article. Some help if possible. You could email me at my email address. It is in regards to a special need and use of this for that. thank you for the wonderful article.
Shanti, I don’t see your email address. My contact information is always at the bottom of my articles.
Hi Elaine, I have a question of a personal nature, would you be able to reply to me via my email address.
How is it that no one is contacting ME? No one’s email is posted but mine. My email address is at the bottom of my articles.
Thank you for this guidance, it is very helpful indeed!
I never imagined in million years that this article would get such an overwhelming response. Thanks again for sending me your comments.
