Acute Dosing
200C as a single intercurrent dose when the well-chosen remedy stalls in a clearly psoric case; not for routine acute use.
Chronic Dosing
200C to 1M at long intervals as a miasmatic clearer for chronic psoric conditions (skin, chilliness, despair); repeat only after a clear return of the miasmatic picture.
