Bach,

It's always a matter of perception.

I'd like to know why, for example, a dose of phos 200c works like magic whenever I get a flu. I never suffer with it for longer than half an hour, no matter how bad the symptoms are, no matter even what kind of symptoms I get. One dose, no worries.

I've stumped my homeopath about my "constitutional" remedy for over 3 years now, however, getting great results from remedies like Aurum, or silica, and carcinosin, and sepia; but nothing ever really works as well as that phos...which, by the way, we've tried at several potencies, with no luck except when I'm achy, headachy, fluish, and possibly extremely weak and even nauseated and vomiting. I've come a long way from where I've been, though, so that's okay by me. Knowing what to take when I need a flu remedy helps quite a lot.

What does one say? That my "constitutional" remedy just doesn't apply? Or that phos is a "similimum" only when I'm very, very ill with the flu? I'm not sure and I know everyone will have an opinion on cases like this just because each will perceive the situation differently.
