Homeopathic dilutions are at the heart of homeopathic medicine, yet they remain one of the most misunderstood aspects of this healing system. This article aims to clarify the principles and science behind the dilution process.
The Basic Principles
Homeopathic dilutions follow a specific process of successive dilution and succussion (vigorous shaking). This process, known as potentization, is believed to enhance the healing properties of the substance while removing its toxic effects.
Understanding Potencies
Different potencies serve different purposes in homeopathic treatment. Lower potencies (6C, 12C) are often used for acute physical conditions, while higher potencies (30C, 200C) are typically prescribed for chronic or emotional conditions.
The Science Behind It
Recent research in the field of nano-medicine has begun to shed light on how ultra-dilute solutions might carry biological activity. Studies have shown that even at high dilutions, unique properties of the original substance can be detected.
