I usually take about 6 remedies (in a treatment bottle) a day. But depending on the day, my emotional state varies. So I usually change the remedies accordingly. I have an anxiety disorder with a bad case of chronic ibs, with an underlying feeling of shame, and not being as good as others. I include Mimulus, Rose Rock (for the fear) and Olive (for I many times feel mentally and physically very drained) and then the remaining 3 I change up, for there are times I feel more anger, or uncertainty and then other times jealousy. My question is: what do you think about this method of choosing remedies according to my daily emotional state? Also, if I feel anger, envy, greed it usually is always accompanied by a deep sense of shame, do you think I should treat the shame part then, as it is deeply inbedded under all of these different emotions?
Kind regards,
Esther

Hello Sharmila. Yes. You can mix up to 6 remedies together in the same Treatment Bottle.
I hope this helps. Rose.

Thanks you soo much Rose, so can we add multiple ( not more that six )flower drops from stock in one treatment bottle?

Hello Sharmila. thank you for getting in touch.
A Treatment Bottle is usually 30ml (1oz if you live in America) – with a dropper.
You fill the Treatment Bottle to the shoulder with mineral or filtered water. Then add 2 drops of every chosen remedy – up to 6 remedies.
A Treatment Bottle should last about 4 weeks only. After 4 weeks, you’ll see some changes, so you’ll need to change the remedies and make a new Treatment Bottle.
If there are no changes, then you definitely need to re-think the remedies, and make up a new Treatment Bottle.
Therefore you do not need to add any additional preservative.
However, if you’re living in a very hot country, you may need to add some brandy.
I would suggest you add 1/2 teaspoon of brandy, during the summer, to preserve the water.
I hope this is helpful. Warm wishes Rose

Hello Angie. You always take 2 drops from th Stock Bottle (the bottle you buy), wnere its for 6 or 1 remedy.
And you always take 4 drops from the Treatment Bottle at least 4 times a day.
However, the more intense the feelings, the more freuquent the remedy is needed. So if your feels are intese, you might need the remedies every 15 minutes or so, until your emotions begin to settle, and then you reduce the dosage.
I hope this is helpful.
Thank you for your writing Warm wishes Rose

Hello Pauline. Thank you for your question.
As there are different ways of taking the remedies, the best way to take them can be confusing.
If you’re taking 2 drops of the remedy straight from the Stock Bottle (the bottle you buy from the manufacture) whether you it on or under your tongue, it really doesn’t matter.
Putting 2 drops into a small glass of water, and sipping it frequently, is a very effective way of taking the remedy. But if you’re doing this, you don’t need to take the remedies straight from the Stock Bottle too.
Have you read the blog about Taking the Remedies?

Hello LeeAnn. Thank you for your post. The best way to take the remedies is confusing.
Let’s start with – the rule of thumb: take 2 drops from the Stock Bottle (this is the bottle you buy over the counter, or on line). If you make up a treatment bottle, you take 2 drops of each chosen remedy from the Stock Bottle, and then take 4 drops from the treatment bottle at least 4 times a day.
It’s not a matter of giving 16 drops a day. Because the remedies are ‘energy’ – the 2 drops into a Treatment Bottle and the 4 drops in a Treatment Bottle ‘potenize’ all the water, turning all the water into ‘remedy’.
Although the instructions are take 4 drops from the Treatment Bottle 4 times a day.
Again, the rule of thumb is that the more intense the emotions, the greater frquency of remedies.
So if you’re in a panic, or in shock with grief, you make need to take a dose of the remedies every 5 or 10 minutes.
I find the most efficient way of taking the remedies is to make up a Treatment Bottle, and then put 4 drops into a 250ml drink – and sip frequently until you feel better.
So, now lets look at your son’s water bottle. Use the same ratio of 4 drops to approx 250ml water. So, if the water bottle is about 500mls, I would use 10 drops (or so) to potentize that much water.
I know the doseage is tricky – so I hope I’ve been helpful. If its not helpful, and you have other questions, please get back to me.
I do hope the Remedies are helping your darling son. Rose.
