When should the dose be repeated ?

In dry doses, an initial aggravation is frequently observed, which induces new symptoms. The list of symptoms is thus completely transformed. Nothing can be done until the symptoms stabilize.

Normally, the symptoms the patient was complaining about should disappear after a short period of time. Symptoms that indicated the remedy completely disappear during this period of improvement. Taking the remedy could then only proves to be harmful. It is only once the symptoms reappear or the period of improvement fades that the remedy must be taken again. Consequence: a good homeopath cannot, and must not determine in advance when the medicine must be taken again, the evolution of symptoms must be observed to obtain good results.

The strategy is different with liquid doses. The dose is increased progressively until reaching the threshold to which the body will respond. As long as there is no reaction, new doses can be administered, until something happens. Thus, the remedy starts working once a certain amount of shakings and quantity is reached. The symptoms evolve, and the classical rule can be resumed: as long as a dose works, let it work.
