Understanding Homeopathy Supplements

• To obtain a greater understanding of homeopathy and how it can be incorporated into your diet, it is important to meet with a licensed homeopathic practitioner. She can give you a health assessment and advise you on homeopathic choices that will help you lose weight (if that is your goal).
  
  If you decide to try some homeopathic supplements on your own, it is wise to only try one supplement at a time. You should give the supplement a few days to work before switching to another one and you should also know which supplements should and should not be combined together (which is why it is wise to get a professional's advice). You should also be cautious if you are taking any prescription drugs. Some homeopathic supplements may interfere with your prescription medication.
  
  

Types of Supplements

• If you have decided to seek homeopathic diet solutions on your own, there are certain supplements that may be considered:
  
  Sulphuricum acidum is a supplement for overeating. It is recommended for those people who can't stop eating - even when they feel full.
  
  Antimonium crudum aids in relaxation, which can help you feel less cranky and more patient while on your diet. Many dieters become irritable when initially cutting back on calories.
  
  Fucus, also known as sea kelp, and thyroidinum will help give your metabolism a boost, which is key in losing weight.
  
  Calcarea carbonica is another supplement that will give your metabolism and energy level a boost contrary to the fact that you are consuming fewer calories than normal, which can leave you feeling drained - both emotionally and physically.
  
  Nux vom and avena are good supplements to help your body flush out toxins. Toxins can prevent your body from releasing excess fat. It also helps your body release excess fat and water so that you don't feel bloated.
  
  If you're a sweets addict who can't keep her hands off the dark chocolate, try lycopodium clavatum, argentum nitricum, or sulphur (one at a time) to see which one works best to fend off your more intense cravings.
  
  

Supplement Combinations

• If all the supplements are confusing and you are worried about what to combine, etc., there are combinations of homeopathic remedies that can be purchased at different health food stores for your specific needs. Remember, a homeopath will also do this for you and take into account any other supplements or prescriptions you are taking.
  
  

Dieting and Homeopathy

• Dieting is not exactly an area of homeopathy, but the idea is that a remedy can help an individual make better food choices. When an individual is healthy, the homeopathic philosophy says, the body naturally is able to take out the nutrients it needs from foods in order to function at its finest. Good health involves eating healthily and sensibly always - not just when you are "dieting."
