Hi All:

I have observed some homeopaths following the below mentioned methodology in prescribing homeopathic remedies & would like your views.

Type 1: Remedy X 200C, single dose for three consecutive days.

Type 2: Remedy X, 200C first day, 1M of same remedy the next day.

Also I have observed high potencies being recommended for acute cases.

If I understand correctly, under classical homeopathy, we are required to take minimum dosage...then why give the same remedy for three consecutive days or higher potency of the same remedy the next day. I am trying to understand the rational behind & appreciate your input. I would like to know if this methodology is incorrect.

This way of prescribing has been observed by me being practised by few homeopaths in India where Homeopathy is very strong & popular. I don't know if the same methods are used in general by all the homeopaths there.

Also, if anybody knows the difference between the homeopathic pharmacopea of the US compared with other European or Asian countries....why different?

Thanks for sharing your knowledge, expertise or opinion/comments.

Regards,
Rajan
