Dosing
Reading the response
How to read what happens after a dose, so that you know whether to repeat, wait, raise, lower or change.
What the method looks for
Progress is judged across the whole person, body and mind, never by one symptom. The literature’s checklist of good signs: better mood, more energy, better sleep, more calm, coping better under stress. These are typically the first to change. “Subtle energy… which at the beginning cause good feelings connected with the upper chakras such as increased mental calmness, better resistance against stress… move in chakras in the downward direction and can resolve also some problems of the physical body.” Prana, how easy it can be
Hering’s law
The direction of change matters more than its size. Healing “according to the Hering’s Law (from within out, from psyche to skin)”:
| Direction the method calls healing | Example from the literature |
|---|---|
| From the mind to the body | Tiredness and sleep improve while joints get worse for a while (boy with juvenile arthritis, 2002) |
| From inside to the surface | Chest oppression in mild asthma moves to the throat |
| From top to bottom | Acne clears on the face first and persists lower down “correctly” |
| From important organs to less important | Inner complaints settle while a skin rash appears |
| Old symptoms return briefly, in reverse order | A back pain from years before returns for a short time |

Reactions the literature treats as positive
- Reverse symptoms: an old complaint returns briefly, usually milder. Wait; do not change the dose.
- Initial aggravation (“homeopathic aggravation”): a short worsening of the present complaint soon after a dose, followed by improvement. A 2019 case: a baby’s haemangioma first enlarged slightly, read as “a typical manifestation of autopathy that initially there is a slight and brief deterioration”. Haemangioma
- Healing crisis: after a high potency “old symptoms bubble up in a milder form on the surface and then it heals”. The founder recommends waiting. High potencies
- “Cleansing” signs after boiled preparations: sweating, loose morning stools, discharge, a cold or cough with phlegm, a first fever in years. Detoxication
- Tiredness or a short worsening after a step up, taken as “a marked reaction”. Methods and strategies
- Anger early in treatment: “Rage at the beginning of treatment I always see as a manifestation of awakening vitality that is not yet under control.” He may pause doses until it settles. Detoxication II
Signs the potency is too low
- No visible change after a full observation period, especially from a very low volume such as 1 l for a person of middle vitality. “Such a case always indicates a potency that is much too low.”
- Improvement that does not last until the next dose.
- Improvement that stalls, or healed problems returning, after a period of success: the potency “had stopped to be effective”.
Response: increase. Methods and strategies; Step by step
Signs the potency is too high
- The effect is shorter and shallower than the previous, lower volume gave.
- Tension, restlessness or worse mood after a step up, especially with prana.
- A headache that goes when the volume is reduced (Prana VI, 2 l to 1 l).
- A heavy, stupefied state (“as if he had taken several Rohypnols at once”) after accidentally doubling a prana dose; it passed the same day.
Response: return to the last volume that worked, often with a new bottle. More about prana; Prana 5; Prana VI
When a worsening is not a healing reaction
The 2026 guidance draws the line: a general worsening over several days in a row, “in contradiction to Hering laws of cure”, means “there is no resonance between the vital force of the treated person and the preparation, and the condition develops as if the person were not doing autopathy”. That is the one situation in which a change of volume, method or interval is made before the observation period ends. Observation period
Keeping a record
The founder’s template for a case history is the best structure for a personal log: the starting condition in the person’s own words (with any medical diagnoses and test results), the volume, the method, the interval, and at each check how every original complaint has changed. A case history. The dose log on this site follows it.
