Depending on your individual health situation you may also have in your box any prepared remedies in Q-potencies to alleviate symptoms of your recurrent and chronic conditions. For example you may be on a broad constitutional remedy like Lycopodium that covers your hereditary gout, but you may find that occasional bouts of pain are relieved by Colchicum 30C. We keep tinctures of Calendula officinalis and Echinacea angustifolia in there as well, along with a bottle of pre-mixed, diluted (1:20) Calendula tincture in a 2 oz. amber glass bottle with a sprayer on it to use for abrasions, irritations, diaper rash, etc. We clean the bottle and mix it fresh every 2-3 weeks to prevent contamination or spoilage.
