    Posted: 10 Oct. 04 at 11:18
I am confused as to what is the best dosage for a newbie like me. I have
very general problems that I take homeoopathics for; e.g. allergies,
asthma, anxiety, hangover...

30c is more potent. Right?
is a 12c better to treat more general conditions?
If i take 30c vs 12c or something does that mean I can take less?

Thank you.

Hello j.,

If you are a beginner, a student etc. or unsure how to proceed, don`t use higher than the 30c potency. It still will work quite well !

Very low potencies are 2x, 3x etc. to about 6x. They are considered to be very low potencies, because these remedies/potencies are very close to the original mineral or herbal state of the original substance and they work on a very gross physical or material level. Remedies at this strenght directly affect the levels of cells and biochemistry, not unlike herbs and vitamins.

Low potency remedies range between 12x, 15x (e.g. in France), 6c and 12c. Remedies at this level of dilution have an affinity to specific tissues and entire organs, like the skin, the liver and heart.

Lower potencies work for shorter periods of time and act more superficially(high(er) potencies act deeper and longer)and the lower potencies need to be repeated more often.

When there are few clear symptoms of any remedy on which to prescribe, use low to medium potencies. A medium potency usually indicates a 30c.

Lower potencies should be used when conditions have advanced to the point of physical or structural changes. In such cases of pathological change, you can start low and possibly go gradually higher in potency over time (meaning several to many months)

Use low potencies for weakened persons with low vitality, in the aged, small infants or weakly children for whom high potencies may be too taxing. (These are general rules and exceptions are possible under guidance of a profesional !)

Low potencies are also used where there is an inability to react strongly or change quickly, since low potencies are less demanding on the vitality.

Low potencies are also advisable where there are many obstacles to cure, including a long use of allopathic drugs, cortisone, suppressive creams etc.

Also use low potencies where the symptoms are strictly local and when the desired effect is only on a specific organ or tissue.

I mentioned the 30c potency (medium potency) just now, but the 30x (in some countries D30) is also sometimes considered to be a medium potency. In practical terms the 30c is most often available and used (if indicated !)

Medium potencies are particularly indicated in the following situations :

When 2 or 3 remedies seem equally appropriate (suitable) a medium potency should be used for the most indicated remedy.

In acute episodes or illnesses that are really a flare up of a chronic disease pattern, a medium potency is recommended.

If mainly local symptoms indicate the remedy, but there are also other indications on a general constitutional level, use a medium potency.

Okay. This has been very helpful. So, for example, when after a workout
and my muscles are sore for a few days I take Arnica. Is 12c better than
30c? Since, as you indicate above, the remedy is for a particular tissue
group? Thank you.

In your case,it really doesn't matter,whether you take 12c or 30c of Arnica.

Just Search Google by typing "Posology homeopathy" and you get so many articles there.Read atleast some of them,and come back if you have more doubts.

Instead of taking this for that and that for this, you would be much better off seeing a professional homeopath and finding the single remedy which best fits your whole case.  Otherwise, you will forever be chasing symptoms without actually curing the underlying cause of your problems.

I would say to take Arnica just because you've been to the gym is unnecessary !  surely your body will recover on its own !
