Skinner developed a method of potentisation which was somewhat similar to Fincke’s method. Thus for 100 drams of water entering and coming out of the vessel would raise the potency of containing drug substance to 100. For every dram of water entering in and coming out of the vessel, Fincke would count it as one potency. One hundred drops of drug substance is taken in a glass jug and a stream of distilled water is allowed to flow through the same. Sufficient succussion is given continuously for a long time until the desired potency is reached. Then one drop of mother tincture is put into it, 10 succussion given will raise the potency to 1stdilution. Then use the single phial method.Īs much vehicle as required to prepare 30th dilution is taken. Then succussion is carried out, this makes the next potency.ī) One globule, which is medicated when put in a bottle of non-medicated globules, will communicate the medicinal properties to it via a process of infection.ĥ) Mixed Hahnemannian and Korsakovian methodīegin with Hahnemannian mode of preparation up to 6c or 30c. This is the first fifty-milliesimal potency denoted as ‘0/1’.Ī) Korsakovian method is a single phial system based on the following principle :When one empty a phial there remains one drop of the medicinal solution adhered to the walls of the phial and to this drop adherent to the walls alcohol is again added. Pour 1 part of mother solution to 100 parts of dispensing alcohol and give 100 succussions. (1 part of alcohol + 4 parts of purified water). Then take 100mg of 3c and add to it 50 ml of a mixture of purified water with alcohol. Hahnemann introduced this scale in his 6th edition of Organon §270. OR 1 part of drug is succussed with 99 parts of alcohol to give the 1st potency. Here one part by weight of crude drug is taken with 99 parts by weight of sugar of milk and is triturated for one hour to get the first potency. OR 1 part of drug is succssed with 9 part of alcohol to give the 1st potency.Ĭentesimal Scale was put forward by Hahmemann. Here 1 part by weight of crude drug is taken and mixed with 9 part by weight of sugar of milk and is subjected to the process of titration for 1 hour. Mode of preparation of medicines includesĭr.Herring introduced decimal scale. Study of preparation of remedies is called pharmacoproxy.

The quantity of action necessary to effect any change in nature is the least possible.

The quantity of the drug required is in inverse ratio to the similarity. The law might be stated thus: The curative dose, like the remedy, must be similar in quantity and quality to the dose of the morbific agent, which caused the disease. (In Greek Posos=how much and logos=study). Dose is defined as the least quantity of substance required to affect a change in nature.
