Antidoting

When opening a homeopathic remedy bottle, be aware of strong odors that may affect the value of the contents. A room that has been freshly painted with strong smelling paint or one that’s just been scrubbed with Spic and Span can cause antidoting. Antidoting a remedy means that it is rendered useless. The worst offenders of antidoting are the following essential oils: mint, camphor, eucalyptus, tiger balm, and tea tree oil. These substances will antidote not only a bottle of a remedy, but also the action of the remedy after taken. Take care not to use them after ingestion of a remedy.

      I suppose anything is possible if it’s in great amounts but its not on the list of antidoting substances. I eat raw garlic in large quantities rather frequently and it only repels people, not my remedies!

  1. I accidentally ingested some breath mints twice after I went on a remedy. I also drank some Goji juice products made for weight loss – “Taislim.” How do I know whether or not my remedy has been compromised? Also, if a remedy is antidoted to some degree, will this affect be neutralized and the remedy eventually be restored to its former strength without retaking another remedy?
    Thanks!

      Hi Gary, You will know that the remedy has been antidoted when you witness the action as absent or minimized. Mint doesn’t antidote everyone, so you might still see improvement. If you are taking the remedy once per week, you’ll see improvement re-established once its repeated. It usually requires repetition to be reinstated. good luck.

  2. I just realized that many of my cleaning products has mint in them ….I am hoping that damage isn’t done to the remedies that i am taking per your guidance. of course i stopped using them and am not supposed to dose my remedy until next week….an earlier comment mentioned that it would get better after next dose….any advice?

  3. As far as drinking herbal teas, is it the wole mint family that’s off limits; cat nip, lemon balm, lavendar, anise hyssop, etc? Or is it just peppermint and spearmint?
