Minutus

Hello everyone,

I've inherited a bunch of old Borhmann and Sons liquid homepathic
remedies (30C to 50M) but the problem is that the 87% alcohol they
were "en-souled" in has evaporated from almost all of the vials. (I
don't know much about the pharmacist but they look to me to be from
the 40s or 50s...). My question - and one I've been mulling for a
while - is do you think if I just refilled them up w/ distilled water
and alcohol that they wd be viable remedies again? As if the remedy
spirits had somehow remained adherent to the glass...

Thanks alot for your thoughts.

Is the 13% water still there? Seems like that would be enough to carry
it, and adding more water/alcohol should work? If you try it, do let
us know! (Julian Winston had talked about 100-year-old pillules that
still worked great...)

Hi Shannon,

I think the Korsakoff method proceeds to the next step with "one drop"?

I thought he was trying to reconstitute them tho, not move to the next
potency? ("Add carrier and mix gently" to reconstitute, versus "Add
one drop to 99 drops and succus"...?)

Hi Shannon,

I think that's what he was saying too.

Do you think you could take a Korsakoff vial and reconstitute it OR add one drop etc.?

Leilanae

Yes I think so. I would use alcohol and make blank sugar pellets of any remedy that I was going to use repeatedly. A lot of work though. Do it as you use them. I keep my alcohol in an easy to pour bottle with a spoit. The trouble is, you have a mess of bottles and keeping everything organized becomes difficult.
Best,

Personally I wouldn't think it would make a lot of difference, and
either way the potency would be a bit approximate, since we don't know
how much was there before it spent decades unused and evaporated.
But I've never found any huge clinical difference between even 6c and
9c, so don't know why there would be between, say, 200K and (something
approximating) 201K. LOL!

But... So long as the solution is still active based on the remaining
water and/or "energetic imprint clinging to the walls"--which I would
*think* it would be--I guess neither of those might be necessary. I do
remember being told that you can just add blanks to a used-up vial and
just carry on. Has anyone here done that? It seems like it would be
more "iffy"...??

Hi, Shannon.
In answer to your question, I have, on two occasions, by direction of my homeopath, added water to a remedy I'd almost used up and that had been working fine. In both cases, the potency of the remedy changed perceptibly -- I stopped responding to both remedies, and they both started aggravating. These were two different remedies at totally different times. So it's not something I've ever recommended to one of my own clients, although I know that theoretically it should work just fine.

rosemary,
i have had a similar direction given to me in the past.
however, i was told to success the bottle to bring it up the
the number of succussions that had been done to the bottle.
there were no aggravations.

Hi Rosemary,
Curious! Did you add water to a liquid remedy, or to a bottle you'd
been taking dry doses from?
