How can such a small amount of a substance be effective?
Dr. Hahnemann found in his lifetime of treating patients that the more times a solution was shaken (succussed) and diluted, the more strongly it stimulated the body. He called this process of succussion and dilution the potentization of a substance. The more dilute the remedy, the greater the potency. Remedies are wonderfully effective when properly chosen and are economical, safe and gentle in their actions. Rare is the patient who is overly sensitive to remedies.
