How long will it take to see the result for the homeopathic remedy to take effect?
This entirely depends on the vitality of the patient and the chronicity of complaints. A patient who is generally very weak and exhausted with a complaint of many years duration will take longer to heal than a person with a recent complaint and with generally a very high vitality. The remedies are taken in small quantity and over limited periods of time, usually at most a week or two. Then the homeopath will like to evaluate the effects of the remedy before increasing the dosage or perhaps changing the medicine as new symptom pictures arise. There is no such thing as taking homeopathy indefinitely, as there is with conventional medicine treatment. If the homeopathic medicine is not working, then the homeopath may have not chosen the best one for the patient, or the pathology is too far advanced for complete recovery.
