Homeopathic remedies are MADE from the elements found in nature --mineral, animal, and plant extracts are the base of these natural remedies which are then DILUTED through altering the degree of concentration to avoid creating side effects that can be disagreeable.

When making a homeopathic remedy which is of plant or animal nature the extract--which is a soluble substances--is dissolved in a mixture of alcohol and water (approximately ninety percent pure alcohol and ten percent distilled water (the ratio can vary). Then this mixture is SHAKEN and then is press strained once it has cured. This yields a remedy referred to as a "MOTHER TINCTURE." The mother tincture is diluted to produce different remedy potencies. By SHAKING the tincture the MOLECULES break down to be less than one percent of the original substance. Thus making a ENERGETIC MEDICINE instead of a chemical medicine.
