Homeopathic remedies are made up of extremely small amounts of natural substances derived from plant, mineral or animal material. They are nontoxic and when properly administered by a homeopathic practitioner can be safely used by everyone including infants, children, pregnant and nursing mothers and the elderly. Domestic pets and animal livestock can also be treated homeopathically. There are no known or suspected contraindications or drug interactions between homeopathic remedies and conventional medicines.
