A remedy, an upaya, is a practice kept with devotion over time. The texts give four kinds, and a priest or astrologer chooses among them for a chart.
A remedy is kept on its day, after a bath and with a calm mind, for as long as the period asks. A gemstone is worn only after a full chart reading.
The graha's beej mantra or a stotra, counted on a mala.
Worship of the deity who rules the afflicted graha.
Gifts of grain, cloth or food on the graha's day.
A fast on the graha's weekday or tithi.

On the weekday of the graha concerned, in the bright half of the month, after a bath and with a clear intention. Many families begin on a muhurta their priest chooses.
Mantra japa is often kept for 40 days, or for a set count such as 108 a day. Weekly fasts and charity are kept for as long as the period asks. Steadiness matters more than intensity.
No. The texts list many; one or two kept faithfully are enough to begin. A reading of your chart can name the ones it asks for.
Only after a full chart reading. A gemstone strengthens its graha, which helps only when that graha is a friend to your lagna.
Mantra, fasting and charity can be kept at home. Larger rites, such as a Kaal Sarp puja or Narayan Bali, are performed by a priest at the temples the tradition names.
