Dosage Question

Why do different brands of homeopathic remedies suggest different amounts of pellets per dosage? For example, Boiron suggests 5 pellets three times a day and Hahnemann suggests 2-3 pellets once. I am changing brands because it is cheaper and am unsure of the amount. I have been taking the Boiron 30c Thiosinaminum 5 pellets once a day. Now I am unsure of how many to take of the Hahnemanns. Any suggestions?

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
There may be different suggestions about doses. That all depends upon the potency and size of the pills.

Small pillules (size 30??) are taken 5 or 7 as one dose. Larger pills are taken 2 or 4 in a dose.

Lower potencies (30 to 200) can be taken once/twice/thrice daily. Higher potencies are taken once a day or twice a week or once a week and so on.

Swami Narayani (Mataji) mentions in her book on homeopathy that :

"Any potency can be taken as frequently as at 15 minutes interval in acute conditions. Reduce the frequency as soon as some change is seen."

That is another thing that doesn't make sense to me, the size. The Boiron pillules are bigger than the Hahnemanns (#30 pellets), but yet, the Hahnemanns says to only take 2-3 vs. Boiron dosage is 5 pellets (#38 pellets--I think?). What would you suggest for a once a day dosage? I am taking 5 pellets size 38 30c Thiosinaminum once a day for scars/stretch marks. When I switch to the smaller Hahnemanns, should I take 7 pellets size 30 since they are smaller? I don't know why they would suggest only 2-3 dosage. That is not very much.

In homeopathy,number of pellets are not important,unless you are very sensitive.

The effect of one pill is same as 10 pills,if the medicine reached all the pills evenly.The size of the globule is also immaterial.

It is because,homeopathy is an energy medicine,and it works even if you smell it.Any way,just don't bother,about size,number etc.Normally taking 4 to 5 pellets (any size),will give you the psycolgical satisfacion of taking the medicine.

A few more or less doesn't matter.The above guidelines are true,for non sensitive people,who are the majority.There are a very few very sensitive people,who react for even the smallest doses,and such people need to be careful.

Thank you, Murthy. That does ease my mind about swaping brands with different dosages. I appreciate the explanation. I have so much to learn.
