What is Minimum or Micro-Dose?
A. The minimum dose, dynamisation, direction of cure, and principle of totality. Study of Patho-genetic symptoms are the fundamental laws of Homoeopathic system of medicine. THE LAW OF THE MINIMUM DOSE: micro-dose ( micro dilution) the highly diluted substance in homoeopathic medicine means using as little of a medicine as possible to stimulate the body’s own healing mechanism. Give one dose (in this case one small pill) and wait to see what relief it brings. If you have a reaction to the remedy (either an improvement or an aggravation of symptoms) do not take any more medicine. Only repeat the dose if the symptoms stop improving before a full recovery is reached or if the same symptoms return (i.e. the case relapses). If the symptoms change significantly select a new remedy to fit the new picture. If in any doubt, wait. Giving the body more medicine than it needs will not improve or speed up the action of the medicine, if anything it may stop the medicine from being effective.
