Remedy Stop Working?
A. The two main reasons why a good remedy stops working (after several weeks or months of improvement) are:
1. A new or different potency is needed. The symptoms show that the same remedy is still needed but the body has built up a tolerance (for want of a better word) to that particular potency. A new potency of the same remedy (higher or lower – just as long as it is different) will restart improvement.
2. A different remedy is needed. It may be that the first remedy was a partial but not a complete match for person’s symptoms and has now done all the good it can do. It may also be that the person’s ill-health has built up in layers – like the layers of an onion – and the first remedy has removed the top layer of symptoms but now a new remedy is needed for the new and different layer of emerging symptoms.
Homeopaths prescribe remedies that match and mimics the unique symptoms of the individual to stimulate the self-healing efforts of the body. When symptoms change, the remedy also has to be changed to match these ongoing healing healing efforts.
