Posology: Different Faces Different Voices

- Dr. P. Singh

The term 'Posology' originates from the Greek word 'posos' meaning how much and 'logos' meaning study or discourse. So, posology means the doctrine of doses of medicine i.e the study which helps us to decide the quantity or power of medicine which can be given to a patient. Homeopathic medicines are prepared by a precise and controlled process of successive "homeopathic dilution" and further succussion (vigorously shaken), overall known as potentisation.....

The Potency: Advanced Prescribing in Homeopathy

General Theme :: Potency Dilemma

Potency, Potentisation and Homoeopathy

 
Potentisation and Potency form an integral part of Homeopathic practice. The process by which Homeopathic medicines are prepared is Potentisation while the power aroused by the power is known as potency. We have three different scales for potency viz. Decimal, Centesimal, Millesimal with different method of preparation for each. ....

The Minimal Dose (Similia Minimus)

 
Are dose and potency the same thing? Some people believe that there is no difference in the action of a homeopathic remedy regardless of whether one administers one pill, one hundred pills, or for that manner, one thousand pills ad infinitum. But how far is it true? ....

Homoeoposology :: A Scientific Reappraisal

 
The homoeoposology has two important aspects: potency and dose. However, considerations on both these aspects lack unanimity of views among homoeopaths on the one hand and compatibility with modern science on the other. That is why even over two centuries after its discovery in 1790 by Hahnemann Homoeopathy is yet to receive a scientific recognition. Nay, some sporadic demands for ban on its practice have been coming. ....

Know Your Potency, Dose & Repetition

 
Potency dilemma has always confused homeopaths; choice of potency often depends on a set of rules which if followed correctly help us in selecting the similimum. ....

Boenninghausen on the LM Potency

 
Apart from Samuel and Melanie Hahnemann it was only Baron von Boenninghausen who had tested the LM potency in the clinic. Hahnemann even sent Baron von Boenninghausen two LM case histories in 1843, shortly before he left for his Heavenly Abode. After studying Hahnemann's and Boenninghausen’s cases one comes to the conclusion that LM 0/1 acts deeper and longer than the 30C. The LM 0/4, 0/5 and 0/6 act as deeply as much higher potencies. To think the LM remedies are low potencies that can be repeated daily in every case is a big mistake. ....

Nano Dynamization :: Quadric Potency

 
Quadric potency is a new scale of potentisation discovered by Dr. Kadiri Koya of Kannur, Kerala. It is prepared on the 50-millisemal scale; its use overcomes the problems of the medicinal aggravation (as seen with the Centesimal & Decimal potencies) and stagnation of the case (as occurs with the LM potency). ....

The Fibonacci Potencies Series :: Modern approach to Posology

 
What exactly is Fibonacci potency or the F potency? Actually The Fibonacci series consist of numbers where each number is the sum of the two preceding ones: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, ….The potencies used are 3c, 5c, 8c, 13c, 21c, 34c, 55c, 89c, 144c and 233c. The results obtained by using these potencies are incredibly fast and have deep emotional, mental or physical reactions even with low potencies. ....

Potency is no fancy

 
Choosing right potency in a case is not an easy job; it requires scientific approach and experience. Most physicians get easily confused and tend to change the medicine often though all the case needed was choosing right potency. Some useful hints for choosing right potency are.. ....
