Concepts regarding ‘duration, depth and plane’ of actions of potentized drugs form another unverified part of homeopathic ‘belief system’.
Homeopaths would say, ‘aconite is short acting’, ‘sulphur is long acting’, ‘calcarea is deep acting’, ‘nux has only superfluous action’ and the like. We also hear statements like ‘low potencies are short acting’, ‘high potencies are long and deep acting’, ‘200c act longer and deeper than 30c’ etc. Some would say ‘higher potencies act on mental plane, lower potencies act on physiological plane’.
All these fanciful ideas regarding ‘duration’, depth’ and ‘plane’ of actions of potentized drugs are based on ‘words of masters’ and ‘experiences’. No scientific experiments needed, no rational and logical explanations needed- simply ‘believe’!
Nobody so far knows what actually happens during potentization, what is the exact ‘active principle’ of potentized drugs, or how they act therapeutically upon the organism. Without knowing these fundamental facts, how can we say our beliefs regarding ‘duration, depth and plane’ of action of potentized drugs are right?
A lot of research have to be conducted to verify these ‘belief’
