The ABC Homeopathy Forum
duration of homeo treatment
Hellodoes anyone know how long one can take a medicine once they know it is working?
One of my friends is on self medication. She is taking arnica for her back pain and it has been a while (3 months I believe). Should she stop it now? Or give it a break?
will the pain come back?

As far as I am aware, Arnica is not a remedy that can be used for any back pain.
However since she seems to have used it succussfully to help with her back pain, she may continue to use it in a reduced potency of 6c in the following manner:
Get a 500ml bottle of spring water
Pour out 100ml from the bottle.
Put in 3 pellets or 1 drop of the remedy into the bottle.
Bang the bottle hard on a cushion and watch for the water to fizzle like it does when you open a bottle of soda. This is called succussing and it must be done 4 times before every dose. This raises the potency of the remedy slightly.
Sip 1 teaspoonful of the potentized water from the bottle just once daily before sleep.
Store the bottle in the fridge and ensure that it is succussed before every dose.
Arnica is a remedy that can be safely used on a daily basis.
