How do I wash my glass stock bottles and droppers..

[latrenda]

..that contain liquid homeopathic remedies?
Is there special procedure or do I wash them just like I wash dishes - with dish washing detergent?

Thanks

I know, not a good suggestion.
Pls consider a domestic ultrasonic cleaner.
Available in eBay, abt $35 onwards.

After washing them thoroughly, I just put them in a pan with clean water and bring them to boil and simmer for a few minutes.
All traces of potentised substances are destroyed by heat.

I do the same.
Who was it who once wrote they rinse the bottles with vinegar to destroy the old remedy?

Hi

a few points:

avoid soaps & detergents as much as possible, as it'll leave a film
on the bottles. vinegar can remove a film of soap, but then you've
got to make sure there's no residue of vinegar on the bottles either.

avoid using kitchenware that may have films of detergent or cooking
remains (ie oil) embedded (sponges, plastic basins, etc)

soak then scrub off old labels, then boil

Boiling is best to "de-remedy-ize" and disrupt the molecular
structure (the "memory of water" factor) and should be used with
vials that have held remedies for long time. IMO- Even the glass
itself is potentised.

With equipment that's only been used a few minutes for preparation -
ie trays, beakers, syringes, etc, just a thorough rinse & wipe will
usually do. However be alert! shaking out a bottle/ vial to rinse it
out is just another succussion!! Don't succuss to rinse a container!
rather let water run through or other non-succussing action.

Boiling is known to destroy the old remedy.
Vinegar? Why would that help to remove energy?

Given that the remedy it had formerly contained is ultramolecular (i.e., that it's of sufficient potency to contain no molecules of the original medicine), and that its only solutes were water and alcohol, I'd agree with Irene and Soroush: the only action necessary is to heat it, which is easily done in boiling or near-boiling pure water.

The trouble with using any other chemical -- detergent, soap, even probably vinegar -- is that it will be difficult, if not impossible, to remove every trace of it from the glass, even with boiling water. More to the point, it will be difficult to be certain that all trace of it has gone from the glass.

Of course, vinegar will tend to remove soap! But how can you know that the surface of the glass, which is rough at a molecular scale, doesn't have a great electrical affinity for vinegar, an affinity that boiling water will not overcome? A chemist could probably easily answer that one with regard to acetic acid; but vinegar contains more than acetic acid, which I think makes the question a rather complex one to answer. Given such uncertainties, the certainly effective method of hot pure water, which answers the need, seems the best course.
