Its many times experienced that eating raw onion or applying strong smelling medicated oil or ointments interfere with homoeopathic medicines or even antidote them completely. So better avoid eating or applying externally any such thing

These substances do not alter a remedial action of homoeopathic medicines. Keep 15-20 minute gap between food/drink and medicines.

What doubts you have were disproved while practicing. Have a gap of half an hour before and after homoeo medicines to eat or drink. You can take our medicines on empty stomach safely.
As our medicines are potentised crude coffe or garlic or strong scents don't interfere in its action.
