Why was tincture objected too? Are we not being
classical homeopaths if we choose to use tincture as
often as possible?

Hi Jessy,

If you've studied Organon, you will have noted Hahnemann's repeating the
fact that potentization develops remedial powers in medicinal substance,
which particular powers are *not present* in material dose of same.

And of course, the matter of material-dose biochemical effects /
side-effects.

Some tinctures are homeopathically proved, many not.

Those that are not- would *need* to be, before you could claim to use them
homeopathically.

If you prefer to work with tinctures, your practice will probably more
closely resemble that of an "eclectic naturopath" than a "classical
homeopath"
