Fourteen rules for second prescription methods in Homoeopathy

Fourteen rules for second prescription methods in Homoeopathy

Dr Frokh J Master

In my practice I follow certain rules, – the application of these rules will help you better analyze the effects of remedies in the long term.

Rule – I

When the patient says “I feel better”, You have to wait.

Even when a clear picture of a new remedy appears, do not give another remedy.

As a homoeopathy we start from the idea that a feeling of well being means energy has improved.

Rule – II

Never give a remedy when you don’t get a clear picture.

Even when the former remedy did not work and have no clear picture for the next remedy, you’d better give SAC-L till a clear picture appears.

If you wait, the body will develop new signs and symptoms which will lead to a clearer picture.

Rule – III

Never give a new remedy as long as the homoeopathic picture is changing.

Only when you get a clear picture of a remedy whose symptoms are present for least a week, and the patient is patient is suffering seriously, then only you can give new remedy.

Rule – IV

Do not be too hasty to give something when an old symptom or group of old symptoms comes back, even when it bothers the patient.

When the patient feels generally better meanwhile, you can be 100 Percent sure that the remedy is working and you have to wait.

Rule – V

Never give a new remedy when a discharge or skin eruption appears after a former remedy and when the patient in general feels better.

Rule – VI

When after the remedy most of the symptoms have disappeared you have to wait. Even if the patient seems to have some remaining symptoms, wait at least for a month.

As a physician, you have to judge for yourself the patients degree of suffering. Do not only listen to the words of the patient, because some anxious patients push you to prescribe something stronger. (Be careful with very affluent and anxious patients !)

Rule – VII

Never give a new remedy when the symptoms move according to Hering’s Law of Cure.

Rule VIII

Never give a new remedy when the intensity and / or the frequency of the complaints diminish.

Rule – IX

Never change a remedy that has worked well.

In case of a relapse, repeat the same remedy in the same potency. If this does not help, give a higher potency and if need be a lower potency, before leaving this remedy.

Rule – X

Do not antidote a bed homoeopathic reaction with a homoeopathic remedy. This will only bring more chaos to the case.

It is better to overcome a disturbing homoeopathic reaction by waiting temporarily or telling patients to drink strong black coffee.

Rule – XI

If you repeat a remedy too quickly, you can disturb the action of the previous remedy and thus spoil the case.

Keep a vigil eye, whether patient is not proving the remedy.

Rule – XII

Only give a remedy when the organism asks for it, and not just because the patient asks for it.

Rule – XIII

Only repeat a remedy that working well in case of a complete relapse of 100 percent. This means when the patient is back in the same state as when he visited you for the first time.

Sometimes, it is impossible to judge whether a patient has completely relapsed or only partially. In such as case, you can use the following tip: Tell the patient ” If I give you a new remedy and you are at the moment better than before, you will have a complete relapse” and let the patient decide if he wants the remedy or not.

In cases of partial relapses, SAC-L. can produce miracles.

Rule XIV

When the case is evolving according to Hering’s law, do not prescribe remedy. This means, when the complaints evolve :

– From the inside to the outside

– From above downwards.
