This from David Little
3 In the 1828-1833 Hahnemann put a tiny pill or two in a glass of water and stirred it well and gave the patient a single teaspoons, or more as needed.
By stirring the glass the potency was altered slightly so the patient never received the exact potency twice in succession. This remedy glass could be used for three days in acute and crisis or as a divided dose over three days in a chronic case. The remedy glass was made up fresh for each single dose in a chronic case. This was the early medicinal solution.
In 1837 Hahnemann began to take a bottle and use a one, rarely two pills in a minimum of 7 tablespoons of water with brandy with the addition of a dilution glass with water that was stirred. This delivery system is suitable for acute and chronic treatment as it can be kept over a longer period of time.
The stirring of the glass has three levels gentle, moderate and vigorous.
This is similar to Hahnemann's instruction on olfaction.
It is most important in those who are low (200-300) and those high (750-1000) on the sensitivity scale.
Those who are very hypersensitive only need gentle stirring while
those who are hyposensitive do well on vigorous stirring.
Those in the middle (400-600) have moderate sensitivity and need moderate or average stirring. It is another level of adjusting the dose. When it matters it matters. It is all relative.
