Dr. Hahnemann completed the manuscript of sixth edition of Organon by 1841 but was unable to publish in his life time.
But later, due to various reasons, the manuscript was made available in 1920. Dr. Richard Haehl published the German
edition in the same year and the English translation made by Dr Boericke was come to light in the year 1921.

During this period the Master Homoeopath introduced several

new innovations that brought
Homoeopathy closer to perfection. The 1st Chronic Diseases
and the 4th Organon are
companion volumes in which Hahnemann taught the
administration of a single unit dose of one
or two poppy seed size pellets.

The Mother of All Potencies
The 3c is the mother of all homoeopathic potencies
[This would seem to be the mother of all presumptions. Where is this grounded in
Hahnemann?]
It is when Hahnemann first proved Arsenicum in 3c that he wrote an article in 1806 titled "What
are medicines and What are Poisons?".
[Hahnemann used Arsenicum in at least the 3C potency in 1800 - see Haehl, vol. I, p. 312.]
The 3rd Centesimal was the first true homoeopathic dynamization.
[Medicines can act dynamically, as Hahnemann pointed out, even in crude dose.]
This is the root of the centesimal scale, as at the 1 to 1,000,000 ratio 3c marks the level that
[most] homoeopathic remedies become non-toxic. For 34 [40] more years he would run trials
with raising the potency of the centesimal scale until he had experimented with the 3c to the
1M...
At 85 years old the Founder came to another turning point in his long career. With his young wife
Melanie at this side, Samuel Hahnemann began to ponder his legacy. Homeopathy had come a
long way since its birth in late 1700's, but the old homeopath was not satisfied with his system.
The medicinal solution had greatly improved the treatment of the virulent acute, and
degenerative chronic disease, but the weak, the elderly, and those suffering from the chronic
diseases and miasms
The D or X scale dilution is therefore half that of the
same value of the C scale; for example, "12X" is the
same level of dilution as "6C". Hahnemann never
used this scale but it was very popular throughout the
19th century and still is in Europe. This potency
scale appears to have been introduced in the 1830s by
the American homeopath Constantine Hering.
[The main reason that Hahnemann moved to the use
of the divided dose in the higher
potencies was to produce a more speedy cure. He
laid the foundation of the LM potency
scale in 1837 in all aspects of administration, but
then added in subsequent years a
higher dilution scale.]
Understanding the K Method Vs. H Method
It is important to note that there are two major schools of practice
regarding the potentization of homeopathic medicine – the Hahnemann (H)
method and the Korsakovian (K) method. In the U.S., potencies are most
commonly indicative of the H method; whereas in other parts of the world,
the K method may be more predominant.
The major difference we’d like to call attention occurs during the process of
dilution:
In the Hahnemann method, ingredients are diluted using “1 part of the
homeopathic ingredient to 99 parts of alcohol in a new flask.”
However, following the Korsakovian method, “the same container is used
for each progression of the dilution process.”

The Action of the Centesimal Potencies
The remedial powers of the centesimal scale reaches its peak very quickly, promotes crisis,
and then brings on a longer duration of secondary action. The Kentian high potency system
has become the modern potency standard, with great jumps of potency levels between 30C,
200C, IM, IOM, 50M, CM, etc. This trend was established by Hahnemann, as he quite
commonly used the 30C, 200C and experimented with the IM. These large jumps in potency
cause a quick vertical arch of the potency scale in the upward direction. Even in medicinal
solution the 200C and IM tend to aggravate toward the beginning of the treatment rather than
the end. This is due to the 100 to 1 dilution ratio and strong successions.
By nature, the centesimal potencies are quick in their onset, as they can cause aggravation at
the beginning of the treatment, when the pathology is at its maximum and the vitality at its
weakest. This tendency is still witnessed (although in a modified form) in the centesimals in
medicinal solution. The power of the C potency is most similar (rapid onset, quick crisis, and
aggressive power) to accidents, traumas, strong acute diseases, virulent acute miasms, crises
or exacerbations of the chronic states.
The aggressive effects of the large increases in potency degrees of the centesimal scale are
enhanced by the greater number of succussions per degree of the centesimal potency
system. The medicinal solution moderates the aggressive tendencies of the C's, but they still
tend to aggravate more quickly, more forcefully, and for longer duration than the correctly
given LM potencies.
The Action of the LM Potencies
Chronic diseases often have an insidious onset, slowly increasing pathology, and reach crisis
after a period of many years. The LM potency is subtle in its onset, uses a series of slowly
increasing potencies, each dose slightly more potent than the last. The LM's tend to aggravate at the end of treatment, when the
pathology is healed and vitality restored. This is a sign that the remedy is no longer needed. If the repetition of the remedy is
reduced as the patient improves, there will be no aggravation at the end of treatment. The C potencies have a rapid onset and can
cause aggravation at the beginning of treatment, when the patient is the most ill and the weakest.
This is not the best situation. This is another reason why the LM's are suitable for many inherited or acquired chronic miasmatic
diseases, and particularly for patients whose vitality is compromised by excessive drugging.
The properly adjusted LM also works well on serious trauma, virulent acute disorders, and crisis. Here the higher opening
potencies (0/3-0/6) are sometime of use, although most cases resolve on LM 1-3.

We have discussed some of the difference between the remedial powers of the C and LM potencies that makes them complementary
opposites. Once the homeopath understands the qualities of the C's and LM's, they will understand how to use them at the correct
times. The Paris casebooks show that Hahnemann often used his centesimal potencies for crisis and acute diseases, and switched
to the LM potencies for constitutional treatment. This is not an absolute rule but a tendency one sees throughout the cases of his
last three years (1840- 1843).

Hahnemann's Paris casebooks from
the Robert Bosch Institute in Stuttgart, Germany.
During the years 1840 to 1843 Hahnemann commonly
used the 7 tablespoon medicinal solution for both the C
and LM potencies in his cases. He mostly used between 6c
to 200c and a full range of LM potencies on his patients.
He seemed to use his centesimals for the most acute
diseases, crisis, or as acute intercurrents during the
disruptions of chronic treatment. Hahnemann used his
LM potencies mostly for chronic miasms, suppressions
and degenerative states. This pattern is followed
throughout his casebooks until he left for in his Heavenly
Abode at 88 years old.
In the 5th Organon
Hahnemann states that the centesimal potencies are quick
in their onset and tend to aggravation in the beginning of
chronic treatment. In the 6th Organon Hahnemann states
that the LM potencies are gradual and tend to aggravate at
the end of treatment. I have witnessed this many times.
This offers a clue to the differences of the remedial powers
of the centesimal and LM potencies. Acute disease, crisis,
and acute-like acerbations of chronic pathology all have the
same qualities of quick onset and rapid crisis much like the
aggravations of the centesimal potencies. The pattern of
chronic disease is slow and gradual and it reaches its crisis
toward the latter stages of development much like the
aggravation of the LM potencies.

The Powers of the C and LM Potency From The Homeopathic Course email

these potencies will appreciate this letter visit http://friendsofhealth.com/ and
http://simillimum.com/ for more articles
Dear Colleagues,
I wish to review the Hahnemannian Posology system and its
relationship to the centesimals and LM potencies. It is very important to
study the remedial powers of the two potency systems and recognize their
similarities and differences. The most important aspect of the revised
methods of the 1830's and early 1840's is the MEDICINAL SOLUTION AND
THE METHODS OF ADJUSTING THE DOSE. Many people think that
Hahnemann
used the dry dose for his centesimal potencies and the medicinal
solution exclusively for the LM potency. An investigations of Hahnemann
cases from 1840-1843 shows that he used a remedy bottle with the addition
of a dilution glass for all his homoeopathic remedies (C and LM). For his last
10 years he refined the homoeopathic system of the 4th Organon (1829) and
updated his case management strategies. So the first point is that
Hahnemann introduced his revised liquid method for the centesimals in the
1833 and the LM potency in 1843.
The 3c is the mother of all homoeopathic potencies. When Hahnemann first
proved Arsenicum in 3c, he wrote an article in 1806 titled "What are
medicines and What are Poisons?". The 3rd Centesimal was the first true
homoeopathic dynamization. This is the root of the centesimal scale, as at
the 1 to 1,000,000 mark homoeopathic remedies become non toxic. For 34
more years he would run trials with raising the potency of the centesimal
scale until he had experimented with the 3c to the 1M. After years of
experiments he settled on the 6c, 12, 24, 30c as the most suitable lower
potencies. Hahnemann's Paris casebooks show that the most commonly
used high potencies were the 197c, 198c, 199c, 200c. Melanie Hahnemann
wrote in a letter which stated that Hahnemann used the 1Mpotency on
occasions during his experiments. It seems he kept his high potency
separately from his low potencies in small tubes with poppy seed
size pellets.
At 85 years old the Founder came to another turning point in his long career.
With young Melanie at this side, Samuel Hahnemann began to ponder his
legacy. Homeopathy had come a long way since its birth in late 1700's, but
the old homeopath was not satisfied with his system.The medicinal solution
had greatly improved the treatment of the virulent acute, and degenerative
chronic disease, but the weak, theelderly, and those suffering from the
chronic miasms still presented a particular dilemma. When Hahnemann
used his low potencies (6c, 12c, 24c, 30c) they would only palliate the case,
but if he used the high
potencies (200c-1M), they produced unproductive aggravations. What could
he do with this unfortunate percentage of cases that still resisted
homoeopathic treatment?
After 36 years of raising the potency of the Centesmial remedies,
Hahnemann decided to raise the dilution ration instead. Leaving the 1/100
dilution ratio of the Centesimals behind, Hahnemann started searching for a
potency that would fill this lacuna in homoeopathic therapeutics. After what
eyewitnesses called, 'countless experiments', the Founder settled on the
1/50,000 dilution ratio called the 50 Milesimal scale or the LM potency. I
have reviewed 100's of Hahnemann's cases from the LM period (1840-1843)
over the last 2 years. One of the first things one notices is that Hahnemann
used both the Centesmial and LM till his last days.
The 3c is called the 'Mother of all Potencies' because it is the

diseases and switch to the LM potencies for constitutional treatment and
miasms. This is not an absolute rule but a tendency one sees throughout the

It is a myth to say that the LM's do not aggravate and are completely safe to
be given daily or every other day. Hahnemann never said that nor gave his
remedies that way. He gave as much placebo as remedy to control the LM
remedial actions. LM's must be treated with the same respect as all high
potencies. There are serious cases where a low potency like 30c only
palliates yet the 200c produces unproductive aggravations. It is in such
cases that the LM potency will cure while the centesimal potency will only
palliate or cause harm. This is true in the elderly and chronic ill in many
cases. The disease is too strong for the low potency (30c) but the high
potencies only cause aggravations without amelioration and loss of vitality
(200c-1M). This is another area where the LM's are more gentle, smooth

reading the microfiches of Hahnemann's Paris Casebooks. This allowed me
to personally review the records of his cases from the LM period (1840-
1843). Reading Hahnemann's case books confirmed many of the
experiences I had collected in the field over a 12 year period. I only wish I
would have had better guidance and access to all this lost information when
I was young. This is finally starting to change as homoeopaths experienced
in the 4th Organon method take up experiments with the revisions
introduced in 5th (1833) and 6th editions (1843). Today's students are better
educated and have more literature then we did back in the late 1960's and
early 1970's. Nevertheless, modern Homoeopathy is for the most part still
167 years behind the times.
Tinctures
After collecting a plant or a part of any plant is collected it is used to prepare
a tincture, generally known as the 'mother tincture’.

Trituration
It is not possible to prepare the active attributes of several minerals as well as chemical
substances and also a number of plant products for potentization by preparing tinctures, as
the materials are not soluble. Therefore, the manner in which they are readied differs
depending on the substance. Generally, all of them are made to undergo a process known
as trituration.

and temperament of the individuals carefully we can observe certain signs and symptoms that give indications as to their relative sensitivity.

1. The hyper-sensitive patient . The major signs of hypersensitivity include the following symptoms:

A. Highly nervous individuals,

quick moving persons,
rapid mood swings and quick alternations of symptoms,
active senses, quick, strong reactions to environmental influences such as noise, lights, crowds, etc.,
the need to eat a careful diet,
multiple allergies or chemical sensitivities, prone to side-effects from taking herbs and vitamins, etc..
They often have trouble sleeping.
These constitutions are usually in a state of hyperfunction and hypertension and need to be calmed down.

B. Sensitivity is often increased in those with advanced tissue pathology,

weakened vitality,
oversensitive vital force,
and a history of prolonged drug use or drug reactions.
Care must always be taken in the elderly.

2. The hypo-sensitive patient. The major signs of hypo-sensitivity include the following symptoms:

A. These constitutions manifest the opposite states of a hypersensitive.

Such person have slow movements,
duller senses and intellect,
the ability to eat almost any foods, herbs, vitamins, etc.,
reduced reaction to environmental stimuli (unmoved by noise, lights, smells, crowds, etc..).
They rarely have allergies.
These constitutions are in a state of hypofunction and need stimulation to get moving.

B. Sensitivity is sometime decreased in those who have taken too many drugs, especially tranquilizers and
sedatives.
They often lack energy and may be in a weakened condition and lack reactive capabilities.
If they have weak vitality the homoeopath should be conservative with the dose and potency.

They demonstrate signs of moderation in all things.
They are fairly stable individuals who are not prone to rapid changes in symptoms.
