What would you like to talk about today? Joette: Hi Kate. A couple of things. I like to be able to discuss things that I think are going to be the most useful for the largest number of people. HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR A REMEDY TO ACT? Joette: (02:00) One of the things I want to talk about is how long does it take for a remedy to act? I hear it often. And given this background: that there are thousands of conditions. Some say there are about 6-10,000 human sufferings/diseases (maybe it's closer to 6,000). And there are just about equally the same number of homeopathic medicines. Now, we're not going to cover all of these human conditions, and we're certainly not going to be talking about 6,000 homeopathic medicines. But given that there's such a grand landscape, we have to get what can seem complex (because it's so voluminous) and focus it down so that it makes it easier. And so, when someone asks me, “How long does it take for a homeopathic medicine to act?” It depends on a number of factors. The first one is, is this condition that the person is about to approach an acute or is it a chronic? and that really matters. Now, sometimes, it's a species of both. But let's not go with the outlier. Let's go with something that's pretty obvious. For example, you're driving home. And you're in the car and suddenly — here's the key word —suddenly you feel ill. Something's wrong. “It feels like maybe I caught something.” That kind of feeling. “I feel as though something's going on in my sinuses or my chest, and I feel weakened.” And you were just caught in the rain the day before or the night before, and it feels as though you're going to be strapped with a flu or a cold or something. That is an acute. Because if you left it alone, you would not have it if you took nothing, and you just went to bed when you got home — which is not a bad idea. But if you did nothing, it's not going to live with you for the rest of your life.
