The general rule is to apply a treatment (or more) until symptoms vanish. This may take a day, a few days, a week, weeks or months. Be realistic, and use common sense. If an ailment has been around for ages, it is unrealistic to expect it to disappear overnight. There are usually more than one food medicine given for each particular ailment. Try out a treatment, and if not suitable, try another. Some ailments may require a change in diet, daily routine and lifestyle even, so take those into consideration.

One remedy can often be shared for a few ailments, so you may see repetitions of remedies for different applications.
