Correct Homeopathic Potencies Dosages

Correct Homeopathic Potencies Dosages.  I’ll try to write this in a very simple way, because I know it’s the most complicated subject and it’s where many ‘laymen’ go wrong.  Moreover, the labels are often confusing.

Correct Homeopathic Potencies Dosages: Simple Examples

200c  If it’s an injury or a relative emergency, such as you injured yourself and you want to help your body heal fast, Arnica is the best remedy (ideal for trauma).  If the injury is not trivial, Arnica 200c can be taken in the following manner:

take one pill (potency 200c) and do so every 5 minutes or so until you feel better.  I did this when a heavy object fell on my head and I was waiting to be taken to hospital for check ups.  I had a sudden significant headache and I did take Arnica 200c every 5 minutes, then every 10 minutes, until the pain subsided.  20 minutes later I was better so I stopped; I took another pill (200c) 1 hour later and at every hour interval for another 3 hours. 

200c is often the potency for ’emergencies’, even if they are of emotional nature (of course the remedies change according to what they are supposed to heal).

30c  If it’s not an emergency remedy; however, if you know your body will receive a ‘small’ trauma such as when you are about to see the dentist (for a tooth extraction, for example), 30c is more indicated.  For example, before I had my wisdom tooth extracted I took Arnica 30c thirty minutes before the appointment.  Then I took another pill of Arnica 30c immediately after the tooth extraction (as I was paying at reception); the wound was healing immediately and there was no blood in my mouth.  It was the fastest-healing would I have experienced.  Taking the remedy before the event takes place helps tremendously.

6c  (or at times 6x) is usually taken if you want to gently ‘stimulate’ a function.  For example, if you want to gently ‘stimulate’ your body’s production of progesterone, you would take Progesterone 6c, even as little as once a day.

On the other hand, if you want to help your tooth nerve heal due to inflammation (best if you do this from the very early stages, when the tooth is slightly sore) for example, you would dilute about 5 pills of Pulpa Dentis (the vibration of the very tooth nerve itself) of 6c potency into a glass of water or a small bottle and sip this water often, until the pain has completely disappeared.  If it returns, you resume sipping the water or you make a new fresh glass or bottle. 

30c For general chronic conditions (but not severe) you would probably take the right remedy in the potency of 30c, which is what you can commonly find.  The simplest ‘rule of thumb’ would be to take one pill and wait for a reaction; repeat (say once a day) if you don’t feel better or wait if you do.  Only when the pain returns should you resume the homeopathic treatment.  If you repeat the treatment too often without reason, you will make things worse.  Homeopathy is not like a traditional pharmaceutical drug: more often is NEVER better unless your body absolutely needs it.  If you feel better, your body does NOT need it and this is why you MUST wait until the pain/disease/condition resurfaces before resuming taking the remedy.

In fact, the ‘secret’ to success in homeopathy lies in the correct homeopathic potencies dosages; finding the right remedy requires a lot of research (I use a variety of online sources and one professional book – I recommend you do the same, don’t rely only on one source, especially if online).

10M and 1M Sometimes, if the remedy you are about to take is a constitutional one, taking one pill in a very high potency say (10M) should suffice.  No more pills after that one.  Or you could opt to take one pill a month in the potency of 1M (which is still high but not as high as 10M of course), until your condition is completely healed.

I underline that the correct homeopathic potencies dosages are not the ‘highest’ or the most frequent.  Remember this, because it’s important.

Warning:  when you take a constitutional remedy you will often experience a ‘reaction’, physical and/or emotional. A worsening of the condition or a completely different symptom.  For example, once I was given a 10M constitutional remedy as ground work treatment; 2 days later a huge rash appeared on my stomach.  I did not panic and the rash completely disappeared by itself.  In fact, a reaction like this is often a ‘good sign’ that your body is starting to ‘detoxify’ itself of the disease or trauma or previous diseases that you are trying to to heal.

It is best that you do not self-medicate with homeopathic remedies in very high potencies.  It’s best if an experienced homeopath prescribes it for you and follows your body’s reactions closely until it’s healed.  You may have to change remedies or even potencies depending on how your body and your mind react.
