I am vegan, and I am also interested in natural and homeopathic remedies for minor ailments. However, I have two concerns:

1) I understand some homeopathic remedies are animal extracts or animal-based.
2) I have yet to see homeopathic pills that don't have lactose (milk) in them.

So which remedies are animal ingredients and which are plants, and are there companies that make homeopathic tablets without animal ingredients?

Thanks!

depending on the ailment....i imagine there lots of companies out there...as i am still doing research myself...but, i did become a consultant with a company called arbonne. all of their products are vegan certified....and they have supplements for heart health, a really great formula for preventing and shortening the duration of colds called get well soon and an awesome herbal muscle massage cream that is well...awesome! there are also vitamins, etc.....and skin care, etc....because it is hard to find that without animal ingredients and those that haven't been tested on animals as well. check it out....it is really amazing and happy research...i am doing the same thing............

why worry about pill content when there is no vegan concern with liquid herbal extracts and your body

will more readily absorb the active herbal compound...herbal extracts in the form of liquid drops is

the most common homeopathic way to deliver herbal remedies. you can find these extracts at any

natural food store such as: "wild oats" market and at "whole foods".
my personal favorite brand is "herb pharm"...with a golden yellow label on a small brown glass eye

dropper bottle. .this brand is very pure and very consitency/potency very reliable.
plus, they make their drops with or without alcohol for people who cannot take alcohol. (alcohol is

used as a preservative)
they offer many herb droplets from A-Z: astragalus, black walnut, echenacea, golden seal... all the

way to Z and everything in between.
you will see a few rows of these bottles lined up on the shelf in the "supplements" section of these

stores and you can choose the best herb for your health issue.
remember to learn about each herb before using it... and do not take the herb more than the

directions and FIRST learn as much as you can about the individual herbs before taking them as some

can be toxic if taken too much or taken with another herb that is not compatible.
generally i use the common sense self made rule of taking only one herb at a time...therefore you

will not create a problem for yourself.
plus...NEVER EVER take and herb and then rush off to the doctor and get a pharmacuetical prescription

and take it at the same time as the herb. many people die from mixing up herbs with prescription

drugs. (taking prozac, antibiotics or birth control at the same time as herbs is NOT recommended

...unless you know what you are doing)

so...how do you know which herb and how much to use?

to learn more about herbs, their uses, their toxicity and their wonderful healing power...look at

these stores mentioned above to find a big 2" thick catalog type book called "Nutritional Healing"

(or something like this...sorry i am not at my home right now where i have the book handy)
buy this book that you will keep and use your entire life.
enjoy reading it and learning how to heal yourself (and others)naturally with herbs for the rest of

your life.

i and my partner do not have health insurance and have never gone to a doctor in nearly 20 years...if

we have an ailment we heal ourselves entirely with herbs...

wishing you a happy journey into the healing power of nature... everything you need is provided for

you by your loving mother earth.

good luck and enjoy everything that life has to offer!
