Settling with power

Hi thanks for the prompt reply.
I was referring to the tendency of the rotorcraft to descend in its own downwash.
Why must the collective be lowered as a recovery procedure? I understand the reason behind moving the cyclic forward to the fly away from the downwash and to increase the speed, but i dont understand the reason behind the necessicity of lowering the collective as a recovery procedure.

Thanks
