Homeopathy has a lot to offer in treating breast cancer, both in curing and easing the pains in incurable cases. First are laid down the most commonly used remedies to treat breast cancer. Then are laid down some special indications that help in identifying the correct remedy.
Note that all the remedies are to be taken in the 6C or 30C potencies. The 6C can be taken two or three times a day. The 30C is to be taken every two or three days. There are no hard and fast rules on this but REMEMBER: Stop taking the remedy once improvement in the condition (more importantly, the patient feels better in the mind). Start taking the remedyagain once the improvement stops.
Carcinosinum should be taken only in the 30C or 200C potencies (not lower). That too once a week every night. Though noted homoeopath Boericke says it can be taken in the 30C every night.
