Hello, thank you for sharing your experience so openly.
Firstly, it's great that you're being mindful about your health and trying to understand what's happeningâthat's the most important step.
1. When and Why Does Aggravation Typically Occur in Homeopathy?
In homeopathy, aggravation refers to a temporary intensification of existing symptoms after starting a remedy. This can happen for a few reasons:
The remedy is correctly chosen and your body is responding to it by pushing symptoms to the surface.
The potency or dose may be too strong for your current sensitivity.
Sometimes, emotional symptoms may briefly resurface, especially if they were previously suppressed.
However, not everyone experiences aggravation, and not all practitioners believe it should occurâespecially if the remedy, potency, and repetition are well-matched to your case.
2. If I Consider Homeopathic Treatment for Clinical Depression, Is Aggravation Common?
Depression is a delicate condition, and homeopathic treatment can help, but it must be approached carefully.
Aggravation is not always common, but in emotionally sensitive cases, there might be a brief emotional shift or upheaval as the body and mind respond.
Thatâs why itâs crucial to work with a homeopath who has experience in mental health cases, and who collaborates with your psychiatrist (if needed).
3. What Precautions Should I Take?
Never abruptly stop your antidepressants unless advised by your psychiatrist.
Inform your homeopath of all current medications and any prior psychological history.
If you're sensitive, your homeopath may start with a lower potency or infrequent dosing.
Monitor and journal your symptomsâthis helps fine-tune your remedy and avoid aggravation.
Always report changes immediately, especially any worsening of mood or suicidal thoughts.
In your case, it seems like the LM potency may have been too frequent or strong for your system, which can happen. I'm glad to hear youâre feeling better now. With the right care and supervision, homeopathy can still be an effective part of your healing journey.
Wishing you strength and balance ahead.
Regards.
