Learn the most valuable homeopathic remedies to add to your home kit, including Banerji Protocols! Of course, these are not the only ones, but these are good remedies to have in hand for acute conditions and to add to your kit.

Many people ask about homeopathic kits and nowadays, my advice is to build your own! You can make your homeopathic kit by adding the remedies to a homeopathic pouch for storing remedies or any homeopathic storage box you can find online.

HOW TO BUILD YOUR OWN HOMEOPATHY KIT ( THE SMART WAY)

When you’re starting out with home prescribing, it’s tempting to buy a ready-made kit or combination remedies. It feels convenient, and in the moment, it might even seem cost-effective.

But if you want flexibility, depth, and the ability to respond to a wider range of health issues, building your kit remedy by remedy is the better choice.

Why should you buy individual remedies?

Even if you’re following Banerji Protocols, I always recommend purchasing remedies separately instead of pre-mixed combinations.

Here’s why:

• You can make the combinations yourself at home whenever you need them
• You can use each remedy individually for a range of other conditions
• You maximize versatility—one remedy can serve multiple purposes

Take this example:
For example the combination Aconite 200 + Bryonia 30 is great for coughs, colds, and chest infections.
But if that’s all you have, it’s limited.

If you own Aconite 200 separately, you can also use it for:

• High fevers
• Panic attacks
• Palpitations
• Sudden shock
• Anxiety
• Early stages of illness from cold wind exposure

That one remedy suddenly becomes useful across many situations.

If you own Bryonia 30c separetly, you can use for:

• Coughs
• Joint pain
• Pleurisy
• Rheumatism
• Sprains and Strains
• Headaches
• Knee pain

PELLET SIZE MATTERS

Don’t overthink the size of the pellets.

In my practice, one dose = one pellet, regardless of how big or small it is.
The potency and frequency matters far more than the number or size of the pellets.

WHAT SHOULD YOU INCLUDE

Start with what your family actually needs. Build as you go and include multiple potencies, not just 30c, some conditions respond better to 200c or 1M, especially in acute cases.

There’s no need to buy everything at once. But over time, you’ll have a kit that’s not only powerful, it’s personalised to your household!

A few key takeaways:

• Buy remedies individually for maximum use
• Don’t worry about pellet size—one pellet is one dose
• Keep an eye on which remedies keep showing up in your learning and your experience
• Tailor your kit to your actual household needs
• Invest in different potencies for greater flexibility

With just a handful of carefully selected remedies, you’ll be able to manage a wide range of common health issues—from fevers to injuries to emotional shocks and you won’t find yourself stuck at 2am without what you need.

Many years ago, when I started using homeopathy, I wanted to have a set of remedies that I could rely on when my family was ill. I started building my own homeopathic first aid kit around my family’s remedies for acute problems. I bought a homeopathy kit with a few remedies in 30c potency. 

The problem with this type of kit is that I found them very limiting.

By experience, I have been in situations when you are running into a difficult acute, and to make matters worse, it is nighttime! You only have a few remedies until the morning, and the remedy you are thinking of is not in the kit! Everyone panics.

Things started to change when I started to work with the Banerji Protocols and build my own strategies. Suddenly, I realised that understanding this methodology helped me to cover many more acute issues with a smaller range of remedies, but I needed different potencies and combinations to make this work.

​If you look through my blogs, you will see that certain remedies pop over and over. I also use fixed potencies and combinations as I work with the Banerji Protocols. 

These remedies serve many uses because they cover the symptoms of the most common health problems. They are what you would call broad-spectrum remedies, and these remedies are the ones to have! They are scattered around my blogs, and you will see them repeatedly.

Different potencies work better for certain health issues; your kit should include different potencies.

Here, there are some remedies that I would not want to be without.

These are remedies and combinations for everyday use. Buy them as you need them and in this way, your homeopathic kit will be individualised to your own family needs.

I am sure it will be very helpful in your household!

Belladonna has an affinity to the blood vessels and vascular system, especially the capillaries, one of the initial systems involved.

When inflammation happens, the cells release substances that dilate the blood vessels, allowing more blood to reach the damaged tissue. This is why the area becomes red and hot, and did you know that the main keynote of Belladonna is heat, redness, burning and throbbing?
