low potency
Posted: Thu Dec 12, 2002 8:24 pm
Hi Zaidee,
Maybe you're thinking of speculation about why Hahnemann seemed to get such
mileage out of 30c, whereas we now seem to need higher potencies for chronic
cases? (One of my teachers mused that perhaps he stretched the reach of
those 30c's by having his patients avoid a long list of "medicinal"
substances -- some footnote in the Organon, can't remember which --
including e.g. fragrant flowers, salads, and a truly stunning list of other
things... The other thing he did, of course, when 30c's were not enough,
was develop the LM scale.)
But as far as low potencies not working, I too do not see that to be the
case. I often use 12X, 6c, 12c, and in their place, they work just fine.
Usually they would not be enough to *finish* a case, tho.

The remedy hasn't changed, the susceptibility of the organism has changed, ergo, a lessened sensitivity to a remedy's action. The issue is to be certain that the case is one suffering from either a deficient VF; a very stong pathogenic factor; or a blockage to the action of the remedy.
All potencies of all remedies have efficacious action.
