Minutus

I had an idea and wanted to know if there is a logical reason NOT to do it.
I've been using 1 teaspoon of the succussed LM# dilution mixed in 4 ounces of water and take a 1 teaspoon dose of that daily, throw out the rest.
Instead, I take 1/2 teaspoon in 2 ounces of water and take 1 teaspoon of that.
It is the same dilution, same dose, just half as much is made and thrown out.
Besides saving on good spring water, it allows me to double the time I take a given LM# while still successing daily.
This remedy is more a constitutional and has been taken for a few years in 200C potency.
It provides great temporary relief of the overall underlying psoric homeopathic disease but in itself hasn't yet cured any chronic miasm.
That means I feel good upon taking it and don't feel a need to rush through a LM# only to possibly go through the complete LM series and still require it.
Thoughts?

Dear Susan
Firstly LM doses should not be taken daily unless absolutely needed and directed by your homeopath for good reason.
Read the relevant aphorisms in the Organon. 270 on. David Little's articles on the use of LMs are highly educational.
All remedies should be taken only when the action of the last dose has stopped.

(If an unhealthy engine has started but is not running perfectly, do you still crank the engine by the use of the starter? The answer is no. Only if the engine stops you would use the starter - Same with homeopathic remedies.)
I have no problem with your dilution. In fact you can use a dropper bottle and just use on drop. Still works beautifully.
How far are you in your LM potencies. I get the impression that this remedy is close, but not your similimum.
