In homeopathy, potency and dose are two different concepts that are often confused with each other.
Potency refers to the degree of dilution and succussion (vigorous shaking) of a homeopathic remedy. The more a remedy is diluted and succussed, the higher its potency. Homeopathic remedies are typically available in different potencies, such as 6X, 30C, 200C, etc. Higher potencies are believed to be more potent, meaning they are believed to have a greater effect on the body’s vital force or life force.
Dose, on the other hand, refers to the amount of the homeopathic remedy that is taken at one time. In homeopathy, the dose is typically very small, often just a few drops of the remedy diluted in water. The idea is that the smaller the dose, the greater the effect on the body’s vital force, and the less likely it is to cause side effects.
So, in summary, potency refers to the strength of a homeopathic remedy, while dose refers to the amount of the remedy that is taken at one time.
