Hi Julie! Any homeopathic remedy that I've tried (which has only been a few) has always said that for maximum benefit, you should try giving it orally...but if that's not going to work, then they say you can always mix it into a little food or water. And the 1/10th dosage is what I've always read, too...but not sure if that is confirmed?
Anyway, hope this helps! :) Jen ----- Original Message ----- From: Julie Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Friday, January 9, 2004 9:13 am Subject: Question about dosing with homeopathic remedies > Hi Everyone, > > I know many of you use homeopathy for yourselves and your pets and > I have a question.
