I have just had a lot of success with an 82 year old to whom I gave 1 pillule dissolved in 10ml spring water (with a little, approx 10% vodka in so it doesn't go off) and got her to take 5 drops a day. Before taking the remedy she succusses (bangs on her palm of her hand) the bottle 5 times.

So what I am saying is what Snoopy has suggested is fine but I think she forgot the succussion bit.

If you wish to give pilulles in a 6c potency 3x a day is fine for a month or 2 but with instructions to stop if there is an improvement or if anything else happens. The remedy can be started again if the problem returns. Now if you are giving this remedy for the stiffness in arthritis I instuct patients to just take one 6C pillule at night and 1 during the day if they need it. If you are giving this remedy as a constitutional rememdy because it fits the totality of the symotoms in the case then I would give a 1M dose and then prescribe 1 pillule of 6C to be taken daily because of the medication she is on. This is what I would do.
