The ABC Homeopathy Forum

time between different medications

How long should one wait after a dose of 30c nux vom (3 pills 3 times one day) to give a dose of a different remedy? the remedy is staphysagria.

How long should one wait after a dose of 30c staphysagria (3 pills 3 times one day) to give a dose of a different remedy or a second dose of the same one?

The person is very sensitive to homeopathic remedies.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
and an addition to the question:

How long do these remedies 'stay' in the body? i.e. how long does their effect last?

Is it true that staph works for much longer?

The only time a new remedy should be given, is if the old one has stopped working, and different potencies of that original remedy have been given without result. There is no justification for swapping from Nux-v to Staph as a routine action. One patient, one state, one remedy. Only when the state changes, should the remedy change.

You cannot assess the success of a medicine, if you chop and change. You must commit to a choice, and see it through until it is clear that the case has changed, or the remedy has not worked. If this is an emergency, that might be 5 mins, if it is an acute, it might be a few hours, if it is a chronic state, then you should be waiting several days or even a week (perhaps longer depending upon the individual reaction).

Remedies are non-physical - they do not retain any of the physical substance in them, so they do not remain in the body at all. Homoeopathy works only on the Vital Force (Life energy)and so there is no residue in the way that most people understand it. The effects of a remedy on the VF however can last for months or even years. Cure should be long lasting, if not permanent.

Thanks you.

The thing that I don't understand is, if the remedy works for months or years then when can one decide the picture has changed? only after years? since the original remedy could still be working...

I just realized this thread and another are connected, and we are having two conversations at once :)

If the state changes in a curative way, it is easy to tell - much of the patients suffering reduces. Their language changes. The words they wanted to use all the time previously, rarely appear at all now. Their body language often has changed, they may seem relaxed, less agitated, they gesture less. But the most useful way to know about change of state is the same way we know what remedy to presribe - by looking at the symptoms. When they change in a marked way, and no longer fit the original remedy, then the state has changed.

When a remedy is taken its effect is instantaneous - but it sets in motion a kind of ripple effect in the Vital Force which might take months or years to end. If the remedy is a good one that should be a positive effect. While that is happening, generally you do not interfere. Case management, watching and waiting, is actually as important as the first prescription.

A skilled homoeopath can tell when the state has changed, and most patients can tell too. When they sit down and have little complain about, you know the change is a postive one. If they sit down and start with 'I have a whole lot of new symptoms I never had before....' then you look to see if the state has changed with the appearance of these symptoms.

It is important to have a second person involved in your healing process, the practitioner acts as an impartial observer watching for the changes, and ready to act or to wait as the need arises.

Clarke'e repertory has given lot of information in this regard.
