It says to put 5 pellets under the tongue as a dosage - Is that what you would recommend as well ? Also , would you mind looking at my other post entitled ' Hair Shedding and feels ' prickly at roots ' ? I am not clear on what ' akshaymohl ' suggested as far as dosage ( has not responded back to my clarification request )- and whether that remedy would be what you might suggest as well - or perhaps another ? Thank you so much -- now123 9 years ago 4 or 5 pellets is one and the same thing . Qty doesn ' t matter in homeopathy . What matters is the remedy , potency and dosing pattern . Please don ' t take any other remedy and report back after 15 days . ♡ kadwa 9 years ago Post Reply To post a reply , you must first LOG ON or Register Important Information given in this forum is given by way of exchange of views only , and those views are not necessarily those of ABC Homeopathy .
