This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
You will have to explain more clearly what you want to know. Plussing method is not a familiar phrase to me. What is the action? Add water, or pellets, or what?

Sabra,
I am talking about diluting remedies in water and then taking it little by little. This is how I understand it.
Astra,
As Pankaj said you have great expertise on this, I look forward to your response

I look forward to it also as it is now clear. I refer to it as using the remedy in liquid form. To me plussing means something else. Sabra

I'm so glad I came here (quite by chance-only because I saw abcgul and remembered Murthy saying that weird name).
I love plussing method!!! The only requirement is that the person who takes the remedy is a bit educated in homeopathy and knows what to watch for. In case of any reaction, he or she must stop taking the remedy.
As homeopathy is individualized so is plussing method! It is based on
a. dilution makes the remedy solution gentler
b. succussing (pounding the bottle with medicinal solution against your other palm-Hahnemann used his Bible!)makes the remedy solution stronger (increases potency) and more aggressive
c. vital force of the body, gthrough which remedies work, likes it much better if the doses are given in slightly different potencies
In practice it looks like that (amounts differ a lot and depend on the case: like sensitivity and disorders): you drop 1-one dose pellets of chosen remedy, in water (10ml dropper bottles-or 250ml in 500ml Evian bottle!)
succusse (1-12 times usually)
and if you are not very sensitive you take 1-3 tsp from it--if you are mildly sensitive you mix these 1-3 tsp with half glass of water in the first dilution glass---and if you are very sensitive you take 1-3 sp from the 1st glass to 2nd (and so on).
you take the remedy every day (or even few times per day depending on potency) remembering only to succusse it every time before you take it.
Since remedy strenght is much more adjusted to the patient-there are minimal aggravations (contrary to the dry dose.
since the remedy is taken every day you have very little chgance for antidoting
since the potency is changed every time you take it-you do not prove the remedy
Plussing is like making c-potencies a budget-friendly LMs.
downside (it always is there):
there is much more handling of the medicinal solution than of the dry pellets.The energy of remedies (which is the healing factor in homeopathy may get dispersed every time you open the bottle and you may end up drinking just water without knowing it.
dry doses are more "handy" on-line.
Plussing is a good method in case of children, sensitive people, in some disorders

as a preservative Hahnemann used some alcohol (vodka or everclear) or charcoal (on a string, taken out before succussion-really messy so I never even tried it). usually people do not even add alcohol-for 1-2 months it's ok.
the downside described in my previous post-is exclusively from my ponderings-it never happened in my experience that there was no reaction.

Astra, I never add alcohol to the mix either because one does not keep it forever. Usually for the time period of the treatment of the problem. I stopped adding it to the dry remedies years ago.
Here, many are into making flower essences. One uses everclear. If the plant/flower is more moist, more alcohol is used to amt of water. If the plant/flower is a dry type, more water is used to the amt of alcohol.
Even to me the plussing sounds complicated. I make remedies, So I know the process, but this is not the same plussing I have used. Just my view, not to discredit yours.
The way I was taught was that if the remedy seemed correct and was working and then began to seem weak, One would mix in water, if not already liquid. (small glass, good water) One would then stand by sink and take one teaspoonfull of the liquid remedy out of glass, hold and dump glass out. Place the tps into empty glass and fill with water, stir vigorously. One can do this three times and it raises the potency. Sometimes this is all that is needed to "increase" the remedy for the person's positive response.
My teachers referred to this as "potenizing the remedy."
Many things have changed over the years. I was never taught the word "constitional." They referred to the remedy that most matched the person as their "cronic." So, I have had to do some catching up. I was taught by two old country doctors so my views are a bit different than the adverage practitioner. Blessings, Sabra

Sorry, I just realized I didn't really answer your first question about why liquid.
Mixing one dose of remedy in a glass of water and taking by the half teaspoon as a dose is good for children that refuse to take anything into mouth, a baby that is too small can be given the remedy by moistening the lips with the remedy.
It can even be placed wet on the inner arm of unconscious person. Never give unconscious person liquid, may choke, very dangerous.
In Anaphylactic shock, bees/wasps or reaction to meds (or unknown) when throat is swelling closed, wet on lips or body is dosed X few minutes. I have been known to pour it all over the person that has been stung by bees. Save half the glass, fill again, (no remedy added) stir and begin again every few min. It is amazing. (APIS M.) Did it on the way to the ER and was fine when we arrived. Sabra

Sabra-the principles are the same - instead of succussing you are probably mixing-which also may increase potency (wasn't it you who once said how Hahnemann found his med.sol. stronger after travelling? I love such stories: obvious things are so hard to see!).
