How Do I Know When To Stop Taking a Remedy?

Frequently Asked Questions About Homeopathy- Homeopathy 4 Ev...
You may experience a "proving". When there's nothing more for a remedy to work on, you may start to "prove" it. A person taking Nat-mur. may find himself craving salty food, a person taking Mercurius may start sweating or salivating. This is a sign for you to stop the remedy. Always report an aggravation to your homeopath. He or she will look in the Materia Medica to see if you're proving it. If you are, usually just stopping it is sufficient to fix the problem.

Do I keep taking my constitutional remedy during an acute?

Frequently Asked Questions About Homeopathy- Homeopathy 4 Ev...
The short answer is no, especially if you see a clear picture for another remedy and especially if you see a change in the mental/emotional state.

Suddenly you come down with the flu: you're thirstless, lethargic, drowsy, dizzy, sleepy with muscle aches, chills and a headache. You've got a clear Gelsemium flu. Why should you be taking phosphorus? It just doesn't make any sense.
