But if you don’t have that much experience with homeopathy, you can hardly find your way around the huge variety of homeopathic medicines. There are more than 2,000 remedies on the market, plus there are different potencies. For self-medication, initially 25 funds in the potency C12 are sufficient. In pharmacies you get homeopathic medicine cabinets, which are often put together for specific areas of application – for example for obstetrics, paediatrics or for small animals.
