The Opposite Action Of High And Low Potencies


This Post invites homoeopaths to share knowledge and clinical experiences of remedies that showed opposite action of High and Low Potencies.  A few such examples are shared here as starters...

Here the case of digitalis is very interesting and should find great use in clinical situation:

  1. In typical Calcarea Carb children, it would cure diarrhea only in high (200, 1M) potencies but could cure constipation only in 6th potency (Source: Dr.Koppikar’s Clinical Experiences of 70 years in homoeopathy) 
  2. Podophyllum high cured diarrhea and was a fine remedy for constipation with whitish (bileless) stools in 6th potency. (Source: Dr.Koppikar’s Clinical Experiences of 70 years in homoeopathy)
  3. With Iodium 200, 1000, I have added weight to lean and even emaciated boys and girls.  And Iodium 2x, 3x are the best remedies to help reducing obesity – given 3-4 pills 3 times daily. Of course, these patients are given the usual indicated high potencies of their constitutional remedies. (Source: Dr.Koppikar’s Clinical Experiences of 70 years in homoeopathy)
  4. People having weakness, dizziness on sitting up or jaundice etc. of Digitalis have been wonderfully cured by Digitalis high, 30 or 200 when the pulse was slow, and by 3x or 3 or even 6th when the pulse rate was fast. (Source: Dr.Koppikar’s Clinical Experiences of 70 years in homoeopathy)
  5. Hepar Sulph: The higher potencies may abort suppuration, the lower promote it. If it is necessary to hasten it, give 2x. by William Boericke 
  6. Mercurius too low, will hasten suppuration instead of aborting it – E.B.Nash

Fr. Britto Joseph S.J. - Empowering Health Care

Meet my first Guru who reignited my latent passion in nature consonant medicine. Fr. M. Britto Joseph s.j. a Jesuit Priest, belonging to the Madurai Province, is credited with evangelizing and proselytizing Naturopathy and Homoeopathy in India. Affordable and safe health-care has always been a need and it still continues to be a necessity for the majority of the population (middle-class and rural) in India, a country where  major share of one’s earning is spent on housing and food, savings are meager, often liquidated by medical and hospitalization expenses.  Families often end up in huge debt.   A country that enjoys a rich heritage medicine system in the form of Ayurveda and Naturopathy is today a victim of lifestyle diseases that is only burdening the existing inadequate health-care facilities in India.   It is against this background we can come to appreciate the value of Fr. Britto’s mission. Fr. Britto has done a yeoman service through his mis...

Drug Interaction and its side effects - Is your doctor factoring drug interaction while prescribing?

In the US, 3 to 7% of all hospitalizations are due to Adverse Drug Reactions (ADR). ADRs occur during 10 to 20% of hospitalizations; about 10 to 20% of these ADRs are severe. If countries like USA which has a stringent food and drug administration get millions of patients who suffer adverse drug reaction then the scale of adverse drug reaction in a populous country like India, where controls are  lax and reporting tardy. This would be a similar story in other developing and under-developed nations. The most common categories of drugs withdrawn in the last decade ( Developed Countries) were non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (28%), anti-diabetics (14.28%), anti-obesity (14.28%), antihistamines (14.28%), gastroprokinetic drugs (7.14%), breast cancer and infertility drugs (7.14%), irritable bowel syndrome and constipation drugs (7.14%) and antibiotics (7.14%).  And it takes 3-5 years for a drug to be banned in India after it has been banned in other countries.

Black Lung Disease- THE HEALTH EFFECTS OF BREATHING COAL DUST LADEN AIR’

My town Vasco-da-Gama is being ravaged by coal dust. The Indian port town of Goa  is a major ore and coal handling hub. The laid back citizenry is in a grip of respiratory disorders which is now trending towards an endemic proportion and this has led to frantic efforts by its people to right every wrong.  A wrong, in which the culpability of the government and its statutory bodies responsible to monitor and ensure compliance is beyond doubt. This post  hopes to educate and spread awareness on the fate that stares at the people of this town especially the children.  Some of the text reproduced here is taken from a study paper in Australia titled ‘THE HEALTH EFFECTS OF BREATHING THE AIR NEAR COAL MINES’. Every occupation bears the risk of some disorder of the other which is commonly termed as occupational hazard.  Those who work in salt pans have their share of disorder, and so do those working in iron, lead, and even gold mines.  The coal mine work...
