Dear Karin,

You don't say what size the remedy solution bottle is. Is it a 4oz bottle or a smaller sized dropper bottle?

You don't mention how many succussions of the remedy solution bottle you use. 3 is ample in hypersensitive cases.

Do you stir one teaspoon into a 4oz glass of water, and then give one teaspoon from that glass?

How often is the lady taking a dose?

It really sounds like you're on to a winner with this remedy choice, only that the dosage is too strong. This is the beauty of the LM potency, it can be adjusted to suit the individual precisely.

If the improvement overall is striking, but causing an initial aggravation with each dose you can modify the dosage by either:-

* Reducing the number of succussions. This will reduce the intensity (but not the strength) of the impact of the dose.

* Give the remedy in a second cup of water. That is, one teaspoon from the 1st cup stirred into a 2nd 4oz cup of water. Take one teaspoon of the 2nd cup as a dose. This also reduces the impact but not the strength.

* Give the dose less frequently. (Please note that Hahnemann almost NEVER gave a daily dose of any remedy.)

You need to discern that the improvement is capable of holding for longer periods of time in between doses. It is a mistake to think that you just keep on dosing until an aggravation occurs. This is not what Hahnemann intended or did in practice.
