Homeopathy for Children

How are the Homeopathy Remedies marked

The remedies are with various Potencies or in the form of Mother Tinchers. Most treatments are with specific potencies such as 6X, 30C, 1 M etc. At other times Mother Tinchers marked as ‘Q’ may also be recommended.

Homeopathic remedies are prepared through a process called potentization. Potentization involves a series of systematic dilutions and successions (a forceful shaking action). The first step in producing a homeopathic remedy is acquiring a pure preparation of the original substance in its natural form (a solution of a mineral salt, a “mother tincture” of a chemical or plant etc.). The original substance is then put through a measured series of dilutions, alternating with succussions, until the desired potency is made.

Homeopathic potencies are designated by the combination of a number and a letter (for example, 6X or 30C). The number refers to the number of dilutions the tincture has undergone within a series to prepare that remedy.

Lower potencies (6X, 6C, 12X, 12C, 30X, 30C) are the most appropriate for  self-care situations. A 30C will often act more quickly and deeply than a 6C and need fewer repetitions—but, the higher the potency, the more precise the remedy choice must be, to bring results. A trained Homeopath can work with finer potencies like 200C and 1M and get better results with lower dosage. 

For a practitioner, although it is important to know how the remedies are made, it is more important to focus on what remedy to give for which symptom. Given the over the counter nature of this website, specific potencies and remedies are recommended for specific symptoms and problems.
