How often and for how long should I take homeopathic medication?

The duration and frequency of application of homeopathic remedies for fleas depends on the extent of the infestation. As a rule, flea infestation is self-limiting, which means that the symptoms and the infestation will disappear by itself within a few days. For fleas, this period is usually a maximum of five days. The application of homeopathics should be carried out several times a day during the infestation. The eight times daily intake of the globules should not be exceeded.

Treatment of the disease only with homeopathy or only as supportive therapy?

An infestation by fleas is usually not a dangerous disease. On the contrary, the fleas usually disappear by themselves within a few days, even without extensive treatment. In order to reduce the itching and the pressure of suffering, the infestation should of course still be shortened by various measures.

Homeopathic remedies can be used for this. Regardless of this, however, there should always be sufficient cleaning and washing of the premises and laundry. Therefore, homeopathy should always be combined with home remedies.

When do I have to go to the doctor?

In the case of a simple infestation by fleas, a doctor does not usually need to be consulted. Often, if a flea infestation is suspected, other parasites, such as lice, are ultimately involved. Nowadays, fleas hardly infest people at all and are found mainly in pets. However, if a human infestation by fleas does occur, it can usually be treated independently by homeopathy and home remedies. However, if the symptoms do not recede within a few days and, for example, rashes of the skin or severe pain occurs, a doctor should be consulted immediately.

Can the fleas also come from my dog/cat?

Nowadays the infestation of fleas takes place mainly in dogs and cats. This is also the main reason why infestation of humans can still occur from time to time. However, there are often different types of fleas that infest humans or animals. Dogs and cats are typical hosts of fleas, since they can come much more easily into contact with unhygienic or dirty areas.If you suspect that your dog or cat is infested with fleas, a flea comb on a white background can be used for clarification. If the combed-out crumbs turn red when moistened, this is probably the excrement of fleas.
