The correct remedy (palliation V aggravation)
Can someone please assist me with the following scenario. I take a remedy (Lycopodium in this case), and my symptoms are almost removed or in the least have improved about 80%. Because they haven't completely gone away, I keep up the frequency of the dose (200c, anywhere from once a day to 2 to 3 times a day). After a week or so of feeling very well (80 to 90% improved), I never quite get there (100% recovery) and my symptoms return, and sometimes get worse that before I started the remedy. No new symptoms appear. Just the same old ones. I then stop the remedy and go to a higher potency of the same remedy with no success. Is this considered palliation or aggravation (please keep in mind that no new symptoms have appeared and initially I felt well but not quite all the way there). At first I was thinking palliation but now I'm not so sure. No new symptoms appear, and perhaps instead of increasing the potency and/or frequency I should be decreasing or stopping and then re-starting. Perhaps I am aggravating as I am taking too high a potency or dose/ frequency. I would greatly appreciate someones assistance on this as my head is in a spin with this as I feel like healing is just around the corner but ever so slightly out of reach at the moment unfortunately.Derek M on 2013-05-22
