Guide to Homeopathic Potencies and Dosages
Understanding Homeopathic Dosing Frequencies
The frequency of dosing for homeopathic remedies varies with the potency and the condition being treated. Here’s a general guideline to help navigate the appropriate use:
Single Dose Pellets: 3-5 Pellets
Single Dose for Drops: 5-10 Drops in little water

Use |
|
Low Potencies (e.g., 6X, 6C) |
Typically taken multiple times a day, such as 2-3 times daily. |
Suitable for chronic conditions and for initial treatment of sensitive patients. These low potencies can be repeated frequently to stimulate a gentle healing response without overwhelming the system. |
|
Medium Potencies (e.g., 30C, 200C) |
30C can be taken up to 3 times daily, while higher medium potencies like 200C are often taken less frequently, such as once a week. |
These are used for acute conditions or when a stronger response is needed. They are also suitable for conditions requiring a balanced approach without frequent dosing. |
|
High Potencies (e.g., 1M, 10M, CM) |
Typically taken very infrequently, such as once a month or even less often. |
High potencies are used for deep-seated chronic conditions or significant psychological issues. These potent remedies are taken infrequently because they have long-lasting effects and work deeply on the energetic level. |
|
Fifty Millesimal (LM) Potencies |
Often taken daily, with adjustments made based on the individual's response and needs. |
LM potencies are suitable for sensitive patients and can be fine-tuned by adjusting the frequency of dosing. These potencies work subtly and are often used for ongoing treatment of chronic conditions. |
For more specific dosing schedules, it’s important to consult with a professional homeopath who can tailor the treatment to the individual’s specific condition and response.
