In the back of Vithoulkas' book The Science of homeopathy, he shows some charts where the aggravation lasted several months. It's an indication that the potency was too high. However, at the end of the aggravation, the amelioration was long lived. Not being your homeopath, I'm not sure whether you are still aggravating or the disease process has gotten worse. Sometimes a lower potency of the same remedy will stop the aggravation and continue the cure. Possibly a 30C or 200C would be in order.

In an aggravation like yours I would prescribe 1 dose of a 30C potency of the same remedy. That should sort it out.

single dose "only" nux-vomica 200c

Dear member

Discard hipshot advices like: take this that and the other. This only expresses unhomeopathic procedure and can easily mess up wyour situation even further.

If a remedy was given and you get such a reaction, then according to homeopathic principles it would be termed a WORSENING and not a HOMEOPATHIC AGGRAVATION. This is caused by an inaprpropriate remedy-selection and application.

In cases like those, a different remedy should be given without hessitation reflecting the now present disease-state.
Organon par.: 167, 168 gives clear instruction for this situation.

in most cases the pure repetition of the same remedy in a different potency messes up the case even further.

I agree with Hans W.: If you had a remedy and just feel worse after a month, the obvious conclusion seems to be that the remedy did not work.

One day, one week, one month or one year---can be possible in any system but the main consideration can be that how much this delay or medications can harm to the patient?

Ok. Please then explain to me what Kent is talking about in the Chapter entitled The Homoeopathic Aggravation in Kent's Lectures.

Also, if a Homeopathic Aggravation is caused by the administration of the incorrect remedy, then what do you call the administration of the correct remedy in a potency that is too high?

Dear members
When talking homeopathy I am primarily basing myself on Hahnemann's Organon 6th ed. and the chronic disease second ed.
Kent even though proclaiming to follow hahnemannian principles deviated in his views repeatedly from the organon.
I don't really get the second question.
Anyway -- there is an article about the remedy relationships which gives more details on the matter on my website.

IMHO, the big problem is that there is no objective way to distinguish between what you call "homeopathic aggravation" and simple deterioration due to lack of effective treatment. And, as Kayveeh notes, while the learned discuss this, the patient suffers.
