For acute, everyday conditions the ideal way to take a remedy is in water.

Dissolve two pillules in 4oz (118ml) of water in a glass. Purified or spring water is best but if this is not possible use tapwater. If you are away from home make up the remedy the same way but store it in a small plastic mineral water bottle. If it is not practical in your situation to make a liquid remedy, pillules will suffice until you can.

Always keep in mind that homeopathic remedies are energy medicines, not physical. Many of us have grown up taking physical medicines which act on the physical plane in our bodies. Even those that are prescribed for emotional issues (eg: depression) still function by acting upon the physical chemistry of the body.
