OK Dillweed..... a little more explanation .....as a special service for you...
..!
If you are a beginner, a student or not certain how to proceed don`t use higher than a medium potency which usually indicates a 30c or 30k. It will usually work quite well and is usually easy obtainable !
The 30c/30k is particularly indicated in the following situations :
-- If mainly local symptoms indicate the remedy, but there are also other indications on a general constitutional level, use the 30c.
-- When 2 or 3 remedies seem equally suitable a medium potency (30c) should be used for the most indicated remedy.
-- In acute episodes or illnesses that are actually a flare-up of a chronic disease pattern preferably use the 30c.
-- When there are few clear symptoms of any one remedy on which to prescribe use low to medium potencies (e.g. 6c, 12c or 30c).
-- If the patient is an old person with weak vital force, a clear case but frail, use 30 c or lower.
Please bear in mind that a 30c (30k) can affect whole organ systems, e.g. a complex of related organs and tissues such as the respiratory or digestive system or immune system.
