Homeopathic Drainage Remedies: What They Are and How the NET Remedies Line Works
"Drainage" turns up in clinic materials and product listings with little explanation attached. Here is what it means in homeopathy, how these numbered remedies are organized, and how to take one.
What "Drainage" Means in Homeopathy
In homeopathic drainage remedies, "drainage" is a traditional framework, not a product category. As traditionally taught, the point is gentle support: helping the body's elimination routes, not forcing anything.
The routes, traditionally called the emunctories:
- Lymphatic system (the primary one)
- Liver
- Kidneys
- Bowels and skin, as supplementary channels
Drainage is not the same thing as a detox. A detox usually promises to pull toxins out. Drainage, as traditionally taught, makes no such measurement: the products are not proven to remove toxins in any clinical sense.
The tradition is also called biotherapeutic drainage. Lines like this sit under specialty support, not in the vitamin aisle.
The NET Remedies Numbering, Decoded
Here is the key.
#1 through #5 are the five elements, borrowed from the acupuncture meridian system:
- #1 Earth: spleen and stomach
- #2 Metal: lung and large intestine, the bowel route
- #3 Water: kidney and bladder, the renal route
- #4 Wood: liver and gall bladder, the hepatic route
- #5 Fire: heart and small intestine
#6 and up are keyed to a body system or a specific situation, not an element: #6 Para Solve, #7 Flora Plus, #8 Allergy, #9 ER 911, #10 Scars Adhesions, #11 Visceral Polarity, #12 Flu Immune, #20 Pain Relief, #24 Day Night Vitals, #25 Yin/Yang Balance.
The numbering is not contiguous. It runs 1 through 12, then 20, 24, and 25: no 13 through 19, no 21 through 23. Every number in the line is currently in use, so a missing number does not mean a product was discontinued.

What the Evidence Actually Says
Homeopathy was developed in Germany more than 200 years ago around two central ideas: "like cures like," and the law of minimum dose. The 12X, 30X, and 100X potencies used here are extreme dilutions. At 30X and 100X, the dilution passes the point where any molecules of the original substance are expected to remain.
The regulatory position. The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health states there is "little evidence to support homeopathy as an effective treatment for any specific health condition." These products are regulated as drugs under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, and no homeopathic product is FDA-approved.
None of that is a reason to distrust a bottle you own. Buy on a readable label and a standard you can check, like Agape's professional-grade quality standards; for the nutrient side of detoxification, see the Detox & Methylation pillar.
How to Take a Homeopathic Drainage Remedy
The label dose is the same across the line. Spray 9 to 12 pumps (about 1/2 teaspoon) directly in the mouth, three times a day, or as directed by a licensed health care practitioner.
- #9 ER 911 adds an acute instruction on Agape's product page: during stressful situations, spray under the tongue every 15 minutes.
- The external-use line is not unique to #10 and #20. The same sentence sits in the standard dose block on the #1 Earth, #11 Visceral Polarity, and #24 Day Night Vitals labels, and on the product pages for #8 Allergy and #3 Water: when appropriate, spray the complaint area three times daily. It is recommended most often on #10 Scars Adhesions and #20 Pain Relief, where the complaint is on the skin or near the surface.
One correction worth making: the line's marketing describes it as suitable for everyone, including pregnant and nursing women. The FDA label says otherwise, and the label governs: if you are pregnant or nursing, take it only on the advice of a licensed health care practitioner.
And a plain limit. A drainage remedy is not a substitute for care. If symptoms persist or worsen, see a licensed health care practitioner. Our guide to how to take homeopathic remedies covers the routine.
What We Recommend
Nothing below cancels the evidence section above. These are homeopathic preparations, no homeopathic product is FDA-approved, and none of them is a substitute for care. What the six bottles below are is the numbered line this article decoded: the four highest-revenue bottles in it, plus the two other element remedies for the elimination routes named at the top of this page. Every bottle is 60 ml and listed at $27.00.
NET Remedies, #9 ER 911 60 ml Oral Liquid
$27.00 | Read the full label and product details
ER 911 is the line's best-selling bottle by revenue and the one this article already singled out in the dosing section. Agape's product description frames it as support during and after emotional, physical, or mental stress, and as promoting a quieting effect on the nervous system. Agape's own copy lists high-pressure situations, public speaking and celebratory events among them, as the times people reach for it. It also carries the line's one acute instruction, the one noted above: during stressful situations, spray under the tongue every 15 minutes. The 60 ml bottle is built to travel.
NET Remedies, #8 Allergy 60 ml Oral Liquid
$27.00 | Read the full label and product details
#8 Allergy is the second-highest-revenue bottle in the line. Its product description frames it around adverse reactions, both to food and to environmental substances such as pollen and airborne pollutants, and it is one of the line's vegan and vegetarian suitable formulas. Agape's copy notes it may have a positive effect on mood. It carries the external-use instruction noted above, and the copy adds that where a reaction shows on the skin, the spray can go directly onto the area.
NET Remedies, #10 Scars Adhesions 60 ml Oral Liquid
$27.00 | Read the full label and product details
#10 Scars Adhesions is the bottle this article already flagged for its external-use instruction, and it is the third-highest-revenue in the line. The product description covers scar tissue of any type, including support for scars from surgery or injury, along with the fibrous adhesion-type discomfort that can come with them and the pressure or pulling sensations that can show up in internal organs. Agape's copy notes it is suitable for both ingestion and external use and is 100% vegetarian friendly. One caution is worth repeating: do not spray it on an open wound.
NET Remedies, #4 Wood 60 ml Oral Liquid
$27.00 | Read the full label and product details
#4 Wood is the highest-revenue of the five element bottles, and it is the element remedy for the liver, one of the elimination routes named at the top of this article. Its label maps it to the liver and gall bladder meridians, and the product description frames it as support for healthy liver and gallbladder function as part of a daily preparation. Agape's copy frames the physical indications around the digestion of fat-type foods and the digestive disturbance that can follow overeating or drinking, and notes it may have a positive effect on mood. Suitable for vegans and vegetarians.
NET Remedies, #3 Water 60 ml Oral Liquid
$27.00 | Read the full label and product details
#3 Water is the element remedy for the kidney and bladder, the renal route in the same list. The label maps it to the kidney and bladder. The product description adds physical indications that also take in the ear, hearing, and the bones. Agape's copy frames the emotional side around fear and feeling stuck, and the physical side around cold or numb feelings in the hands and feet. It carries the external-use instruction noted above.
NET Remedies, #2 Metal 60 ml Oral Liquid
$27.00 | Read the full label and product details
#2 Metal is the element remedy for the lung and large intestine meridians, and the large intestine is the bowel route among the supplementary channels this article named. The label pairs those two organs directly. Agape's copy gives its physical indications as the sense of smell, the nose, mucus, body hair, and the skin, and frames the emotional side around prolonged grief, with the product description suggesting it for sad occasions as well. It is the third of the five elements by revenue.
The offer on the whole line. Buy any 3+ bottles of NET Remedies and save 10%, any 6+ and save 15%, automatically at checkout. Agape's own bundle copy says the Mini Reference Guide counts toward either tier, so it is worth adding to a cart that is already at two bottles.
One caution before you buy. The pregnancy and nursing warning is the one to follow: if you are pregnant or nursing, take it only on the advice of a licensed health care practitioner. The manufacturer's own marketing is broader than that. Follow the label on the bottle in your hand. And if what you are managing persists or worsens, the person to see is a licensed health care practitioner, not a seventh bottle.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a drainage remedy?
A drainage remedy is a homeopathic preparation used inside a traditional framework of gently supporting the body's elimination routes, including the lymphatic system, the liver, and the kidneys. It describes a category and a method, not a promise about a result.
Is drainage the same as a detox?
No. Drainage is traditionally about supporting the routes the body already uses, and it does not claim to remove toxins in a clinically proven sense. A detox product usually makes a stronger claim than drainage does.
How many sprays, and how often?
The label says 9 to 12 pumps (about 1/2 teaspoon) directly in the mouth, three times a day, or as directed by a licensed health care practitioner. Take the label dose as the dose.
Can I take one alongside my other supplements?
Talk with a licensed practitioner or pharmacist first. The Food and Drug Administration notes that products labeled as homeopathic can contain measurable amounts of active ingredients and may harm consumers who choose to use them.
Do I need a practitioner to use these?
Not to follow the label, which is written for self-use. But the label itself directs you to a licensed health care practitioner if you are pregnant or nursing, and if symptoms persist or worsen. Agape's nutritional consultation is one place to start.
