Gross things in the remedy container

[Carol Orr]

A few years ago I told about a bottle of water with belladonna in it that I
put in refrigerator. I forgot about it and a couple of months later there was
something growing in the bottle..floating..about an inch and a half long. So 3
weeks ago my homeopath told me to take hyos for a cough and I put it in a
glass with a couple of inches of water and never took it but left it there on
the counter and went to dispose of it and it had some pink and turquois-ish
colored things floating in it. I have some "holy" water from Ireland that has
been in a plastic container in my refrigerator for a couple of years...there
is nothing floating in it. I've left bottles of water in my fridge for weeks
on end and nothing is ever floating in them. I looked up hyos and bell and
they are both from the nightshade family. I don't know if that means anything.
I'm going to experiment with some other remedies...leave them in a glass for a
few weeks and see if it happens to other remedies. I'm going to try stram if
I can find some and then some other remedy not from the nighshade family.
Anyone else want to try this as well? Worse case scenario is that is something
in my city water.

I have mold growing in some remedy bottles that I use for the garden. I have sterilized them before
mixing the remedy in them. I leave leftovers in a large box and pull them out the next season. Some of
them are clearly contaminated. I assume the bottle was not as clean as I thought. I have also wondered
if the bottle cap had some impact even tho I sterilize them, too.

I have had no luck keeping anything in a bottle unless it has a fair bit of alcohol in it. In addition, I have bottles I was given as many as a dozen or more years ago, from three different practitioners, and they are also fine. Remedies without alcohol go about two weeks maximum, then get full of clouds and threads.

See to your water supply and be sure you have new bottle you cap immediately upon receipt.

I do not use alcohol in my bottles, bit I do have one of those reverse osmosis UV sterilized water contraptions installed in my office for use when making remedies. I rarely have bottles go bad.

I did have a problem when I didn't cap those bottles immediately when the shipment came in. Guess the dust got in them.

I have noticed a remedy bottle can go bad overnight if the water was not sterile.

I have a ton of remedy bottles sitting in a space where I keep them for use AS NEEDED. I have no idea how to tell if a remedy has gone bad, and I can’t see anything through the amber glass.

You guys must know something I don’t know!

I use Amber glass bottles. Hold them up to the light. If anything is floating in there the remedy (imp) has gone bad. Dump it out.

If they have been preserved with alcohol (e.g. anything you would have purchased pre-made), you should be fine.
Is that what they are?
