First Aid Remedies for Fungal Infections

If you are under constitutional homeopathic treatment and you have a history of fungal infections then you might experience a return of old symptoms. They will not last for long and you will find that if you can leave them without further treatment then they will be much improved from here on in.

Constitutional treatment will help to prevent recurrence of the infections. For homeopathic first aid treatment can help you in the short term but will not prevent recurrence. The following remedies should be considered and chosen according to how and where you experience the infection.

When choosing a first aid remedy choose a low potency of 12c or 30c and take 3 doses on day one, two doses or day 2 and one dose on day 3.

Then watch and wait to see if the body can complete the healing process.
