Of course, increasing the potency to see if it aborts the recurrence permanently is what any homeopath will do, provided the symptoms come back unchanged.

However if the remedy chosen is a short acting one, to suit the superficial symptoms alone, it is unlikely that even increasing the potency will lead to cure. As Kent points it out it may lead to palliation only.

Perhaps Kent is amplifying and clarifying what Hann. said.
