Dear Shannon, triads are only really representative of remedy relationships
- families and groups that either naturally go together or have been found
to follow and complement. But it is only theory and one should still
prescribe only on the symptoms.
The rx can be supportive, complementary, organ supports, acute
manifestations, acutes during chronics etc.
Wasn't it Sankaran's father who first compiled rx in this way in that little
book "Remedy Relationships"
There are also remedy relationships that come through in cases that you have
on and off for a long time - lines of development and there is probably
literature on that as well.
Add to this the relationship between acute remedies that are often needed
and their complementary chronic rx that is required to finish the case -
e.g. belladonna = calc carb.
Hope useful, Joy

This is probably a stupid question, but could someone explain the "theory"
behind triads for me? Are these simply remedies that have been noted to
*often* tend to follow one another (in the order given), or is there more to
it than that?
