From Hpathy
'Whilst it must be emphasised that the practice of homeopathy entails a detailed knowledge of Materia Medica, nevertheless First Aid and Domestic Emergencies can often be treated safely and effectively at home. This is partly because of the affinities of various remedies for particular tissues and because experience has shown that injuries and common ailments, such as burns, bruises, cuts and stings, respond well to well proved remedies.
Ailments such as coughs, colds, sore throats and indigestion may also be safely treated. Provided the doses are not repeated too frequently or over too long a period they will not do harm. However whatever the problem it must be strongly emphasised that if any of these conditions do not readily yield to treatment or appear to be serious professional help must be sought.'
