When a patient is better, should he stop taking the remedy immediately?
A. The remedy should be continued until the patient has fully recovered and the dosage then slowly reduced over a long period of time e.g. reduce from TDS to OD, then to 3 times weekly, twice weekly and eventually once a week. The period of reduction may be about a third of the time taken to heal. If a remedy is stopped suddenly after the patient is better, the disease may sometimes come back. Some patients prefer to continue this low dosage as a prophylactic for a long time. Afterwards, it is a good idea to give immunity mix or some tonic for a month or so.
