This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Any potency can cause aggravation. It is not the potency that decides that - aggravation is mainly a result of other factors in the case:-

1. Frequency of dose

2. Size of the dose (how much is taken in one go)

3. Sensitivity of the patient (main determining factor)

4. Degree of tissue change (pathology)

5. Amount of suppression in the case

Depending on which of these factors is active in a case, a high or low potency will have different aggravating effects.

Oh I should add one more very important factor - the similarity of the remedy to the patient's symptoms. The less similar the less aggravation there will be. A very dissimilar remedy will have no effect at all on a patient.

What would happen if you worked your way from a 6c up to 12c then to a 30c and felt the 30c was too strong because you had bad aggravation - could you go back down the scale again - say back to a 6c? What would be the results and can you do this - always wondered.

Also supposing say for example you took a remedy for say a sinus problem (for arguments sake) and when you last took it you took a 30c acute dose for a few days till it cleared up. Then months later you get another sinus infection - would you have to retake at 30c or could you go back to 6c.

I always find I have more success with a 6c potency than a 30c potency - more noticeable changes etc. Why is that?

Hope you don't mind me jumping in on this post?

I don't mind :)

If 30c did not help, yes you could go back down to the last potency that did help.

At some point, the potency you are taking must either 1. stop working or 2. cure. So if it stops working you will need to go up in potency or change remedies.

You won't be able to go up and down potencies - once you go up and it helps, going down won't usually do anything.

Every person's disease will resonate on a particular potency level - once you reach that level whether by plan or accident, you will get cure. Because our potency scale has arbitary jumps, rarely do you hit exactly the right one. If you are just below the right level for that person you will get resistance and need to dose more frequently. If you are just above it you get aggravation, the bigger the gap between what the person needs and what they get then the bigger the aggravation.

The LM potency scale may help this issue to some degree.

Another thing you need to know about potency, is that the lower potencies are much more general and broad in their action, while the higher ones are much more precise. This means that you more people will get a reaction to the lower potencies, because they will cover very broad symptoms like Aching pain or Worse for cold etc. At the higher potencies the fit must be much closer, so you will miss more often with those potencies if the case taking has not been detailed enough.

So many people will react to Allium cepa 6c, but fewer will react to 30c unless the prescription is closer to what they need, and 200c will not affect many people at all.

LM 0/1 is a very low potency but they go up to LM 0/30 which is high.

You should only increase potency if the lower one 1. does not help any longer or 2. is not curing all the symptoms.

Taking a low potency repeatedly but not experiencing cure is still a bad idea, unless your disease is incurable and palliation is all you can hope for.

'Feeling good' is not necessarily an indication of the correct remedy - one must see improvement on all levels, symptoms moving in the correct direction, aggravation followed by amelioration, and less and less need to keep taking the remedy (so the length of time between doses should become longer and longer).

Palliation can also make people feel good, and even suppression might (at least for awhile). Low potencies can palliate many people's symptoms due to their broad effects.

Yes think I understand - so a 30c if it's a good matched remedy - you will possibly have an aggravation but only a few symptoms whereas a lower potency you could have a lot of symptoms linked to the aggravation. And then with the 30c an aggravation is short lived if the remedy is correct.

If you do have an aggravation for say 3 days then the good starts to come through - is this a good sign and does it mean the remedy is correct for your problems and you are on a way to a cure?

The length of time of an aggravation depends on many of the same factors I mentioned above. While a short aggravation is always a good sign as long as it is followed by improvement, a longer aggravation can also result in positive changes for the person.

Cure isn't always easy to judge from one thing. Yes improvement after a short aggravation is a good prognosis, but you want to see a depth and breadth of changes as well as stability in the improvements over a long time. I don't like to pronounce a patient cured until at LEAST 6 months has passed, and really 12 months is a better benchmark. Most cases presented in seminars as cured must be 2 years old and show stability at that point.

Homoeopathy is actually quite demanding of itself, and we have fairly high standards in judging cure.
