Preparation of
homeopathic medicines
The preparation of homoeopathic medicines consists of repeated dilution and shaking called 'potentisation'.
Homeopaths believe this process renders the remedies capable of stimulating the body's natural healing forces.
After the 12th dilution, there is no discernible chemical trace of the original substance left in the medicine,
but homeopaths believe the preparation retains the qualities of the original substance.
