Which has more in a homeopathic

ReedleBeetle · 05-22-2010, 08:10 PM

6c or 30x?

30 x is stronger

Wait...now I'm confusing myself b/c x's are in 10's and c's are in 100's...

let me think on this!

Oh...and to make it even more convoluted stronger is less so if your wanting to know which has more it would be the opposite.

C's are more potent.

X is lowest
C is middlish and is the potency most used by parents at home...30C is the usual dose for a homeopathic. I keep 200C arnica in my purse though.
M is high potency stuff
LM is super high potency

Sorry I know that's totally confusing!

Ok...

Any number with C is one part remedy/100 parts water for 1C. 2C would be to take one part of that mixture and mix it with 100 parts water (or alcohol). X uses the ration 1:10

So 6c is 1 part remedy 100 parts water, take one part that/100 parts water....6 times. So the ration is 1:10 to the power of 12.

30x would be 1:10 to the power of 29

So therefore 30x is more diluted and has less remedy

And 30x is stronger

Clear as mud?

To make it more confusing it's not just the dilution process. It is the succussion that takes place each time the remedy is diluted that gives it potency. 30X has 1 part in 300 v/s 1 part in 600 but it has been succussed 30 times rather than only 6. They are used differently.

Ohhhh...good one. I forgot about that aspect. I'm thinking about it from a purely mathematical standpoint.

Ok...so let me just ask this....

I had the choice to buy Belladonna 30x or Belladonna 6c tonight and I bought the former. So....should I have bought the other? Cause I am really confused! Should I give more? Or less? Or the same? I am giving 2 at a time right now.
