low potency

[isali]

Hi Zaidee,

Maybe you're thinking of speculation about why Hahnemann seemed to get such
mileage out of 30c, whereas we now seem to need higher potencies for chronic
cases? (One of my teachers mused that perhaps he stretched the reach of
those 30c's by having his patients avoid a long list of "medicinal"
substances -- some footnote in the Organon, can't remember which --
including e.g. fragrant flowers, salads, and a truly stunning list of other
things... The other thing he did, of course, when 30c's were not enough,
was develop the LM scale.)

But as far as low potencies not working, I too do not see that to be the
case. I often use 12X, 6c, 12c, and in their place, they work just fine.
Usually they would not be enough to *finish* a case, tho.

The remedy hasn't changed, the susceptibility of the organism has changed, ergo, a lessened sensitivity to a remedy's action. The issue is to be certain that the case is one suffering from either a deficient VF; a very stong pathogenic factor; or a blockage to the action of the remedy.

All potencies of all remedies have efficacious action.

what would be considered as low potency? (<1m?)

Would a low potency remedy less likely to cause proving and aggrevations compared to a high potency?

Low - 6c or x; 9c or x; 12c or x some would say 30 is low. LM's are low but more dynamic.

The rest is down to the individual case.

There is much more to this.

I give all remedies in water as Hahnemann taught in 5th and 6th edition of organon.
I use 200C and 1M fin water or minor acutes and first aid as the strength of the disease is strong and you want the remedy potency to be a little higher than the disease potency (in a way)
For chronic cases you have to individualize - I mainly use 30C or LM1 for chronic treatment, but if very sensitive and aggravate on either of those go down to 6C or 12C and increase amount of water it is diluted in. Then you also have flexibility as to dose - how much you take out of that bottle and then dilute in a 2nd cup or can go on to 3rd or 4th cups, or only do oflaction.
This is where it gets tricky and need a homeopath for help with chronic cases.

any remedy can cause a proving
any remedy can cause an aggravation - depends on the person
these are 2 different issues - proving is one thing; aggravation is another
