Homeopathy is a natural approach to medicine that works without contraindications (interference with other medications you may be taking) or side effects to stimulate the body's curative responses so the body heals itself.
Your body has the ability to heal itself. When you are ill, your body produces symptoms, which is how we know that the body has recognized that something is wrong and is actively working to heal itself. This "natural regulator" is your body's auto-regulatory mechanism and it works to keep your body in balance - or in a state of homeostasis.
Here's an example of how this works. Think of your "natural regulator" as your internal temperature gauge. If you go outside and it is very hot, your body will recognize it is too hot and begin to perspire. Your homeostatic mechanism is producing a symptom - perspiration - in an effort to cool down the body. If you go outside and it is very cold, the symptom is shivering. Your homeostatic mechanism is trying to warm the body up by shivering to produce heat.
Think about the last time you were shivering. You could not control it, and you did not stop until you were warm. It is the same way with homeopathic medicines. If you are ill and your body is showing symptoms, the symptoms will not disappear until the source of the symptoms has disappeared.
Homeopathic medicines stimulate your body's homeostatic mechanism so your body heals itself by dealing with the sources of your symptoms.
Homeopathy is different from conventional medicine because conventional medicine simply defines health as the lack of symptoms (if you dry up a runny nose, is your cold gone and are you healthy?). Homeopathy defines health as the lack of disease (if you get rid of the source of the runny nose in the process of dealing with the source, the runny nose will disappear on its own).

Homeopathic medicines should be placed under the tongue of adults and children or in the cheek of an infant where they will dissolve. It is preferable that there be nothing in the mouth to eat or drink 15 minutes before or after taking homeopathic medicines.
Look under your tongue. It is an environment full of capillaries (blood vessels) surrounded by very soft tissue. If you want something to be absorbed directly into the human body, what better place to do it than somewhere that is rich in blood vessels that carry blood throughout your system rapidly!
Homeopathic products are very clean-meaning they have no binders, fillers or coatings. The soft molded lactose tablets are made to dissolve almost instantly when placed in the mouth. Because the remedies dissolve in the mouth, they are absorbed by the mucous membranes in the mouth and carried directly into your system. For this reason, the remedies work faster than conventional medicines because conventional medicines are usually coated and don't get absorbed into the system until the coating is dissolved by the stomach acid, and that generally takes about twenty minutes.
Homeopathic medicated pellets take longer to dissolve, but they don't taste bad so it is worth the wait. Dilutions are liquid and should be dropped directly under the tongue.
Because the remedies are very clean and fragile, avoid handling them. It is preferable to drop the tablets or pellets into the cap of the bottle, and pour them from the cap into your mouth. If more than four pour into the cap, take four-don't put the pills back into the bottle.
You cannot overdose on homeopathic medicines. If you take fifteen tablets or five tablets (or 100 tablets for that matter) AT ONE TIME it is one dose. You will stimulate your curative response one time. So, it is not a tragedy if more than six tablets fall into the cap, just take them rather than risk putting a contaminated pill back into the bottle to contaminate the others in the bottle.
Finally, things like mint, caffeine and other remedies may antidote homeopathic medicines. In order to help prevent antidotes, take your remedies one at a time, with a "clean mouth". It is best not to eat or drink 15 minutes before or after taking the remedies. |

People who are lactose intolerant have not yet developed the enzymes to digest lactose. Hylands products contain about 64 milligrams of lactose per tablet (the sugar from cow's milk - no protein is used). While everyone is different, most lactose intolerant individuals would need to ingest 5000 mg of lactose before they experience symptoms of intolerance. With this large margin of safety, there is rarely a problem with Hylands products when being used as directed on the label. If your physician has determined that you are specifically "Allergic to Lactose", you should avoid these tablets. If you are very concerned, seek the advice of a licensed health care professional before using this product. |

Hylands homeopathic tablets do not expire. Hylands doesn't put expiration dates on their products, as they have been exempted from expiration dating guidelines by the FDA (CFR 211.137). The numbers that are imprinted on the edge of the labels are lot numbers - so Hylands knows exactly when the product was produced. They can track any product they produce using that number. |

George Hyland was the first of many pharmacists to lead the company bearing his name. His passion for safe & natural medicines that bring swift, effective relief is still the driving force at Hyland’s today.
In 1903, the year Hyland’s was founded as a Los Angeles pharmacy, homeopathy was standard medical practice in the United States. During the first half of the century, despite the medicine’s effectiveness, cultural and political factors pushed it from the mainstream.
Throughout the decades Hyland’s never lost sight of the need for natural medicines that were strong in relieving symptoms but gentle in the way they worked. Nor did the company lose touch with the many insightful doctors and pharmacists who dispensed the medicine, or with the consumers who continued to use it and benefit from it.
As countless conventional medicines developed by others proved to produce negligible, complicated or even harmful results, the need for natural medicines that work without side effects is increasing and homeopathic medicines are moving back into the mainstream.
The active ingredients in Hyland’s homeopathic medicines work by stimulating the most effective healing force known - the body's own natural defenses - and are therefore not heavy or overpowering. The medicines are virtually free of side effects and can be taken by nearly anyone at any time, from infants to the elderly, including anyone taking prescription medications.
In addition to its century-long commitment to make safe & natural homeopathic medicines readily available, Hyland’s has been a leader in innovations that answer the changing health needs of our modern world. Hyland’s Teething Tablets, Calms Forté™, Sniffles ‘n Sneezes 4Kids, Restful Legs and many others are popular “combination” medicines that focus the power of homeopathy on a particular set of symptoms. Hyland's pharmacists developed each one by carefully selecting a few specific homeopathic ingredients from among thousands, and combining them in effective medicines. Hyland’s array of combination medicines provides relief from the symptoms of most common ailments.
Hyland's broad base of customers includes many who discovered the company’s medicines after lengthy and often painful searches for answers to their health problems. Their words flow into the company daily and tell a common story of frustration relief and gratitude.
"Tired of medicines with side effects as along as my arm…"
"…I was thinking, I can’t live like this…"
"…so frustrated taking my daughter to the doctor…"
"…we had a serious need for natural medicine that was safe and that worked.
No one listened except Hyland’s."
"…it worked instantly."
"…thanks for the peace of mind."
As prescription drugs become more prevalent and complex, and the costs of health care continue to skyrocket, the need for medicines that are natural, affordable, effective and available without a prescription is greater than ever. These factors have positioned Hyland's at the forefront of a common-sense health movement and ushered in what is fast becoming the most exciting time in its long and successful history. |

From the downtown Los Angeles homeopathic pharmacy started by eight physicians in 1903, to the shelves of nearly every pharmacy and grocery store in North America today, the people of Hyland’s and its parent company, Standard Homeopathic Company, have worked to make safe and natural medicines accessible to everyone.
In 1900 homeopathy was a standard medical practice in the United States and a household name. Since shipping medicines from one region to another could take weeks, or even months, homeopathic pharmacies were a fixture in most large cities. These pharmacies, which included Borneman in Philadelphia, Boericke & Tafel and Luyties in St. Louis, Kiehl’s in New York and Ehrhard & Karl in Chicago, stocked the medicines and often formulated them in on-site labs.
The Los Angeles doctors founded Standard Homeopathic Pharmacy because they were frustrated waiting for medicines to arrive from the East. They hired George Hyland as their first pharmacist at that downtown Los Angeles location, on 7th Street between Broadway and Spring Street, and in 1910 he bought the business and initiated a tradition of pharmacists as owners and/or top managers of the company. That tradition continues today.
A Family in Business
Also in 1910, a report backed by the American Medical Association helped create a change in the way doctors are trained that would prove to be a challenge for proponents of complementary medicine for nearly a century. The so-called Flexner report established requirements for medical colleges including more facilities and more extensive curricula, pushing nearly half of all medical schools out of business. Since many of the homeopathic physicians were trained at the smaller, less well-funded schools, Flexner led to a huge reduction in their numbers.
It took time for the strain to reach the big-city homeopathic pharmacies and in 1928, with his business growing, George Hyland hired University of Southern California (USC) School of Pharmacy graduate Cecil Craig and put him in charge of his manufacturing lab. “Mr. Craig,” as he was later known, became the company patriarch and helped develop many of the medicines that are among the 3,500 products the company sells today.
As prescription medicine began to dominate the field in the middle of the 20th century and marketing natural medicines became more challenging, homeopathic pharmacies across the country turned to other products. Under Cecil Craig, Standard had great success developing the first aspirin for children. Craig’s eldest daughter, Marion, had trouble swallowing pills and perhaps to satisfy her, he formulated pink aspirin tablets that dissolved almost instantly in the mouth. It was a compelling feature that helped make the aspirin extremely popular and become the precursor for Hyland’s Teething Tablets, the company’s current bestseller.
Though they did not all have lifelong careers with Standard Homeopathic, Mr. Craig’s three sons and two daughters each worked in the business and came away with an appreciation for their father’s dedication to homeopathy. His younger daughter, Patricia (Pat) Craig Phillips, a registered nurse who ran the dilution laboratory in the 1980’s and 90’s, remembers her father ultimately discontinuing the popular children’s aspirin partly because it was not homeopathic. “He was really committed to homeopathy at a time when it was not so easy to promote,” Pat Phillips says. “We owe him a debt of gratitude for keeping it going.”
In 1955 Cecil’s son, Jack Craig, joined Standard as a salesman. He grew into operations positions and took over the business following the death of his father in 1980. Hard working, informal in dress and manner, and well liked by his employees. “He was always ‘Jack,’ never ‘Mr. Craig,’” Pat Phillips says. “Jack set the company on a course for growth.”
“Jack had high goals,” says his brother, Dick Craig, a second generation USC School of Pharmacy graduate. Dick Craig had a successful career as the owner of a Los Angeles retail pharmacy before becoming a homeopathic drug information pharmacist at Standard in the 1990’s. “Jack did an incredible job and exceeded our father’s expectations,” he says.
“Who We Are” Groups
Meanwhile, in Philadelphia, the John A. Borneman family followed a parallel track through the 20th century. Dr. Borneman, a teacher at the Hahnemann College of Homeopathy, started his pharmacy in Philadelphia shortly after Standard opened in Los Angeles. His grandson, John A. (Jack) Borneman III, responded to the mid-century challenges to homeopathy by writing, with the help of others in the business, the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia. This detailed presentation of thousands of natural medicines was a key in updating federal regulations and creating more favorable market conditions for homeopathic medicines.
“We organized people from the industry and we went to Washington to explain our medicines and our business,” to officials at regulatory bodies like the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Federal Trade Commission, Jack Borneman says. “We called ourselves the ‘Who We Are’ group, because in the 1950’s and after, most people couldn’t say the word, homeopathy, let alone understand it.”
The 1970’s were a time of collegiality among American homeopathic companies as much larger European companies, flush with success and takeover ambitions, began looking to buy U.S. firms. Jack Borneman, Jack Craig and Glen Hill, a top executive with Luyties, a St. Louis-based homeopathic company, together with their wives, developed personal friendships they enjoyed at trade shows and meetings at widespread locales. The children of the owners of these companies grew up in the business and with an awareness of each other as, “professional cousins.” |

Homeopathic medicines are safe, all-natural options for the entire family in the alleviation of symptoms of common ailments, from teething to colds to leg cramps and more. However, not all consumers are aware of the benefits associated with homeopathic medicine. You can learn more here:
The basic principles of homeopathy
Homeopathy ("hoh-mee-OP-uh-thee"), also known as homeopathic ("hoh-meeuh-PATH-ik") medicine, is a whole medical system that originated in Europe and has been practiced in the United States since the early 19th century. Homeopathy is based on three principles:
1. Like Cures Like
Homeopathy demonstrates that a substance that produces a certain set of symptoms in a healthy person can cure a sick person experiencing those same symptoms. For instance, onions make your eyes water when you cut them. If you have a cold or allergies and your symptoms include a runny nose, the likely remedy to treat your runny nose would be Allium Cepa, which is made from onions.
2. Minimum Dose
Unlike conventional medicines, a homeopathic medicine is believed to be more effective when its active ingredient is diluted and succussed (shaken vigorously). Data indicates that the homeopathic medicine gains increased effectiveness with each additional dilution-succussion step. Furthermore the safety profile of the medicine increases with increased dilution.
3. Individualized Medicines
Ideally homeopathic treatment is tailored to each person. In this case, practitioners select medicines according to a total picture of the patient, including not only physical symptoms but also lifestyle, emotional and mental states, and other factors. Hylands supports this classical individualized approach by making available more than 1,500 single homeopathic remedies in a variety of potencies.
At the same time, in order to make homeopathy accessible to more people, Hylands simplifies the process of selecting a homeopathic medicine by combining several active ingredients to treat the most common symptoms of an acute ailment. For instance, our formula for Sniffles n Sneezes 4 Kids cold medicine relieves sneezing, runny nose, runny eyes, sore throat, headache, and cough—symptoms that children most often experience when they come down with a cold.
What is homeopathy?
According to the Homoeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States, homeopathy is the art and the science of healing the sick by using substances capable of causing the same symptoms, syndromes and conditions when administered to healthy people.
How does homeopathy work?
Homeopathic medicines are thought to act according to the “Principle of Similars” and the “Principle of Minimum Dose.” These principles state that if a drug causes certain symptoms in a healthy person, that same drug may be given in very small doses to relieve those same symptoms in a person exhibiting them from a different cause. More simply put, with homeopathy, “like cures like,” the natural ingredients used in homeopathy help the body rid itself of not just the symptoms (as with conventional medicines) but the cause of the symptoms, in a completely natural way.
When was homeopathy first introduced?
Homeopathy has been attributed to German physician and medical translator Samuel C.F. Hahneman (1755-1843), who first observed and codified the system more than 200 years ago.
Are homeopathic medicines safe?
Yes. Homeopathic medicines are safe and non-habit forming.
How do we know homeopathic medicines work?
Clinical data from trials, case observations and case reports have been accumulated for over 200 years. These data form the basis ofthe homeopathic literature.
Who uses homeopathic medicines?
Homeopathic medicines are suitable for anyone needing symptom relief. Users are all ages and backgrounds. Homeopathic medicines are a safe, effective, and natural option for the entire family.
Can homeopathic medicines be used in conjunction with conventional medicines?
Yes. Homeopathic medicines have not been shown to interact with other medicines. For this reason, homeopathic medicines are a great first line of defense in the face of many illnesses.
Are homeopathic medicines regulated?
Yes. Homeopathic medicines are classified as drugs and regulated by the Food and Drug Administration. They are also manufactured to the standards set by the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia Convention of the United States.
How can homeopathic medicines be used to provide safe relief for children?
Because homeopathic medicines contain such small amounts of natural active ingredients, they are a safe option for children in alleviating many common childhood ailments. For example, the current movement to encourage the recall of over-the-counter cough and cold medicines is driven by the fact that misuse in dosages of those medicines can result in greater illness or even death in small children. Homeopathic medicines do not carry the same risk because they do not use the same active ingredients that are under evaluation by the Food & Drug Administration. Unlike withdrawn over-the-counter infant cough and cold medicines, homeopathic medicines offer children a wide margin of safety.
What childhood medical issues can homeopathy help?
Homeopathic medicines are available to treat many common childhood conditions. Hyland’s offers homeopathic medicines to treat the common symptoms of colds and flus (coughing, sneezing, runny nose, sore throat, etc), teething, colic, diaper rash, earaches, bedwetting, and bruising.
