Dosage & repetition

[Soroush Ebrahimi]

Dear Wendy

Homoeopathy unlike conventional medicine does not have a protocol as such
which would give you a blanket instruction for automatic repeat at such and
such a frequency. We INDIVIDUALISE our prescription in terms of the remedy
and it potency and its frequency (Pls read Organon Aph 3.)

Please do not forget that we try to give the minimum dose and minimum
amount. So before you repeat the dose, you should be able to justify its
repetition.

Before repeating a prescription we need to be sure that the remedy is right
and also what reaction it has produced.
Sometimes in acutes the first few doses may do absolutely nothing.
Depending on the seriousness of the case you can repeat the remedy as
frequently as every few minutes.

Also remember that one is also supposed to be homoeopathic (similar) as far
as the potency is concerned. So you need to match the potency to the
strength of the vital force of the patient.

For acutes one can repeat a remedy say five times to obtain a reaction and
then once you have a reaction, ONLY repeat if the patient's conditions start
to deteriorate.

When treating chronic diseases, you can wait for sometime to get a response.

With LM potencies again you can repeat as and when needed - please see David
Little's instructions on his site.

Also please read George Vothulkas's book 'Science of Homoeopathy'.

Hope this has been of use.
