How is a homeopathic remedy made?
14. April 2009, 15:00 | by There's a remedy for that
A natural substance is ground down and soaked in a water-and-alcohol solution for some time, and is then filtered. The strange thing is, the substance is then discarded and only the water-and-alcohol solution is retained. This solution is called the mother tincture. From the mother tincture we take one drop and add a further 99 drops of fresh water-and-alcohol solution (this dilution process is known as attenuation), and this solution is shaken vigorously.
This new solution is called the 1st dilution or a 1c potency. From the 1c potency we take one drop and add a further 99 drops of fresh water-and-alcohol solution, shake vigorously (known as succussion) and this gives us the 2nd dilution or a 2c potency.
This successive dilution process continues up to the most commonly used potencies such as 6c, 12c, 30c, 200c, 1M (1 000th dilution), 10M (10 000th dilution) and even 50M or MM.
The potentised solution or remedy is either sprayed or dropped onto blank sugar and lactose tablets, pillules or granules, or is used directly as an oral spray or as drops under the tongue or in water. It can also be added to creams, ointments and lotions for topical application.
