Homeopathic remedies are therapeutically effective micro-doses of mineral, botanical, and biological components that are used to treat a variety of illnesses, such as allergies, coughs, colds, and flu, as well as muscle pain, sporadic insomnia, anxiety, and stress. Millions of people take homoeopathic medications all throughout the world, and they have been around for more than 200 years.
The three tenets of traditional Hahnemannian homoeopathy are as follows:
1. "Like cures like" Something that causes disease symptoms in large amounts can treat the condition in small ones. This theory is comparable to that of vaccines.
2. Extreme dillution improves the drugs therapeutic effectiveness and gets rid of any unwanted side effects.
3. A comprehensive view of the individual as a whole must be taken into account while selecting a treatment.
What do the X in the medicine indicates ?
Following the name is the drug strength, which is indicated by a digit followed by an X or C. A 6X potency indicates that the drug has been succussed six times in total after being diluted at a 1 to 10 ratio, with X being the Roman numeral for 10. The concentration ratio is 1 to 100 in C terms (C is the Roman numeral for 100). The amount of the drugs active ingredient is less concentrated the higher the number before the X or C. Homeopaths contend—contrary to popular belief—that a remedies potency increases with the number of times its active ingredients have been diluted.
Which dilution of homoeopathy should I pick?
The most common potencies for over-the-counter medications are 6c and 30c. Commonly used for chronic diseases like rheumatic pain is 6C potency. For first aid or emergency conditions, such as the start of a cold or bruising following a fall or bump, 30c (or higher) potency is commonly utilised.
Traditionally, flower treatments have a 5x efficacy.
