Firstly, your practitioner should be assessing the results of a treatment BEFORE advising you to use the remedy for a second or third month. It is irresponsible to tell a patient to repeat a remedy without first checking the results of the first dose or series of doses.

Secondly, EVERY remedy can produce unwanted effects if it is the wrong remedy. However, an aggravation is not unwanted, although it is certainly uncomfortable. An aggravation is usually a good sign, and shows that the remedy is working.

If a remedy is wrong, it will do one of several things.

1. Move the symptoms around - cause them to change location or character.

2. Create a proving - symptoms will appear that are characteristic of the remedy but new to the patient.

3. Nothing will happen - the person is not sensitive to that remedy or their illness is stronger than the remedy, and so remains unchanged.
