This is general information about a homeopathic remedy, not a prescription or dosing advice. In homeopathy the correct remedy and potency are chosen for the whole individual symptom picture by a qualified homeopath — the same remedy is not right for everyone. Do not self-medicate, and consult a qualified homeopathic doctor (and your physician for serious or persistent conditions) before taking any remedy.

- Sore throats that alternate from side to side
- Complaints that shift from one side to the other

Characteristic symptom picture
Homeopaths look for these guiding features when considering Lac Caninum.

Potency
Lac Caninum is available in several potencies such as 6C, 30C and 200C, and in lower or biochemic and mother-tincture forms in some cases. The right potency and repetition depend entirely on the individual case and are decided by a qualified homeopath - this page gives no dosing instructions.
The Lac Caninum picture and modalities
Lac Caninum is the remedy of alternation. Its most famous keynote is a sore throat that switches from side to side day by day, and more generally complaints that shift from one side to the other. The mental picture is striking - a deep feeling of worthlessness and unimportance, sometimes with a fear of falling. The person is very sensitive to touch and jarring. A homeopath reads this side-alternating, low-self-worth pattern within the whole picture.
Before you consider Lac Caninum
This is background information, not advice to self-treat. A sore throat with high fever, difficulty swallowing or breathing, or one that does not settle needs medical assessment, and persistent low self-worth deserves proper support. In homeopathy the right remedy and potency are chosen for the whole individual by a qualified practitioner. Homeopathy should complement, not replace, conventional care.
