The ABC Homeopathy Forum
Front to back?
I thought I knew about the 'direction of the cure' but this has me puzzled.I took Staphysagria recently in a high potency. I have a lot of anger due to being fired and I know my main feeling is 'indignation.'
I felt like a lot of things about Staphysagria didn't match but it was the last remedy a professional homeopath suggested for me and I didn't know what else to take. Anyway, I did have a spot of red, scaly skin on the front of my thigh but I never thought anything of it. It certainly did not bother me.
Now, a week after taking the remedy, I have a circular patch of red, scaly skin on the back of my thigh. It's like it moved from front to back and got bigger and angrier.
Is that the direction of the cure? I thought it should move down the leg, not from front to back.
I don't know what to make of it.
Any thoughts? I'd appreciate it.

No that is not direction of cure. That probably has no particular meaning at all to the suitability of the medicine.
Direction of cure is just nature's law of cure - diseases do not favor particular sides of the body as they worsen, so as the body cures disease, the side of the body things move to is irrelevent as well.
Direction of cure is 1. more important to less important 2. from most recent to most distant (timewise). Top to bottom is a very unreliable measure anyway. Some more important organs are found further down in the body - symptoms moving from the throat to the heart would not be direction of cure generally speaking! More often I have noticed that symptoms can move outwards from the centre, so along the arms or down the legs (as many eruptive disease like measles do).
Whenever something happens after a remedy, you have to ask yourself if the remedy is responsible - there should always be positive changes at a higher/inner levels, if anything at the lower/outer levels appears to worsen. Things just moving around can happen independently of treatment - that is just the way the human body operates normally.
