Forms and dosage of Apis medication
Apis can be a component that is part of a complex drug, or it can be an independent agent. It's easy to make a healing agent yourself. For this, honey bees are rubbed with a pestle in porcelain utensils in a dough-like mass. The resulting substance is insisted on pure medical alcohol, then in the infusion is added milk sugar.

For home medicine chests it is better to use Apis, as well as other homeopathic medicines, low dilutions. Specialists in the field of homeopathy recommend using Apis 3, 6, 9, 12 and 30-th dilution. For acute edema and skin diseases, you should use the means in the third decimal dilution, with inflammation of the bladder, kidney and ovarian diseases - in the sixth, in order to treat eye diseases - in the thirtieth dilution.
There is an opinion that the period of action of homeopathic medicines is equal to the number of dilutions. Proceeding from this assumption, it is easy to calculate that Apis 6 will have the effect of six hours, Apis 200, occasionally used in homeopathy, - two hundred hours or nine days. In acute conditions at the initial stage, more frequent methods are needed. To prepare the solution for acute manifestations of the disease, 10-15 grains of a homeopathic preparation are bred in 100 ml of boiled water.
