WHY IS A HOMEOPATHIC REMEDY USED IN DIFFERENT DEGREES OF DILUTION?
The degree of dilution is what is called the potency of the remedy. Higher dilutions correspond to higher potencies. Experience has thought homeopaths that the effect of a remedy is increased by successive dilutions, with vigorous shaking between each dilution. This homeopathic principle is the contrary of conventional medicine, which increases the amount of a given remedy in order to increase its effect.
