I was told by a homeopathic practitioner to use a certain remedy that comes from a non-kosher animal. I was wondering which knowledgeable rabbi/dayan I can call to find out if I'm able to use this product?

Which potency?
They are diluted way more that 1/60 unless x potency.

Kashrus question is more what the pellet is made of IMO. The boiron pellets are dairy. Made from lactose. If you keep chalav yisroel you need to ask a rov

The actual dilutants can be problematic as well so the 1/60 thing doesn’t apply. Also the fact that it’s done intentionally vs a mistake. I don’t know. I read up a little online and there seems to be all sorts of issues.

Even though it is greatly diluted, isn't there a concept of Ain Mivatlin Issur Lchatchilh?

R Dovid Heber at the Star-k is a baki on supplements/ meds

I may be mistaken, but R' Shmuel Kamenetzky's wife was big on alternative supplements. I believe people had called her to ask him in the past. She is no longer alive, but maybe he would know.
