From the roots homeo, meaning "like", and pathos, meaning "disease", the word HOMEOPATHY refers to a system of medicine which treats illness with potentized micro-doses of substances that are known to cause similar symptoms in a healthy person which the person with an actual illness seeks to relieve. Arnica montana is perhaps the best known of all homeopathic remedies, used commonly for bruising and the pain of acute injuries. There are hundreds of different remedies which comprise the homeopathic pharmacy, all of which come in a variety of potencies. Here at Rainbow, we stock the widest range of these remedies that you will find in any over the counter setting.
Polychrest remedies - those most known for their wide range of action - are available in 6c and 30c potencies, as are many of the lesser known remedies more likely to be prescribed by a trained homeopathic practitioner. In addition, we do carry higher potencies of many remedies, which we will dispense upon advice from your practitioner. Special orders are possible for many remedies we do not carry, so please ask if you are having trouble locating a source for the remedies you need. Our main provider of homeopathic single remedies is the Boiron company, well known for their flu season preparation, Oscillococcinum.
Alongside the single remedies we do offer a number of combination remedies, including teething tablets, eye drops, allergy and cold combinations, and a variety of other acute symptom formulations. We stock the twelve cell salts in their 6x potencies, and we offer a fabulous selection of topical homeopathics including arnica and calendula creams, and the ever popular Traumeel ointment and gel.
