What strengths of Homeopathic medicines does Hahnemann Laboratories, Inc. carry?
We label our medicines with a number and letter which indicates the strength of the remedy. It indicates how far a substance has been taken through the process of dilution and succussion. The more a substance has been diluted and succussed, the higher its potency, the stronger it is. In homeopathy, we have a higher potency when there is less substance, because more of the inherent medicinal power has been released. When a substance has been taken through the process of dilution and succussion, and made into a homeopathic potency, we say it has been potentized. We note the exact potency of a remedy by using a letter and a number. The letter a Roman numeral tells us what dilution ratio was used, while the number tells us how many steps of dilution and succussion the substance has been taken through. We have three potency scales: C, X, and LM.
