Should homeo Liquid be converted to Pills

Hello all,
I understand in this forum that a single drop of potentized medicine is too high a dosage. Recently I obtained about 40-50 medicines by Schwabe in 30 or 200 potency. Should we take a single drop as advised by Schwabe or convert them to pills. If convert then how many drops to a 5gm bottle is advisable.
Recently I bought some medicines in pill format and found that the shop made them too wet. I had to dry them in paper before i could keep them otherwise they would have melted. Yes i used different sheets for different medicines. I keep a box of frequently used medicines so would like your advise. These medicines are the ones I use for first aid.
Astra, Joe, walkin please advise.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
I now use 1 drop of a remedy in 500ml spring water instead of using the lactose globules. The water dose is by far more effective than the dry dose in globules but the globules may be more convenient to be stored as the water may attract algae if left for long periods.

I use No 30 lactose globules and store them in the little glass vials that are discarded by contact lens practitioners and each when half filled contains about 80 globules. I use just 2 drops in the vial and roll it between my fingers to enable the remedy to soak in. Label the bottle and store in a cool place.

Hope this helps.

Thanks a million Joe. Actually I too keep them stored which is why I asked you. I have empty bottles of 5 gm, some of the remedies itself and some new. I'll need to buy the pills and was thinking of buying no. 30 pills.
I need to give the pills too to a few people who trust our first aid knowledge which is why I asked. thanks again.

I put about 16 drops of liquid medicine in 5 ml bottle depending upon the size of the globules. Small globules have less space between them, make more mass and soak more liquid. After that I gently shake the bottle to ensure that all of them are wet. Excess liquid will not make the globules join together and form a solid mass because the liquid is pure alcohol and alcohol does not dissolve/melt sugar of which the globules are made. It is better if the liquid is a drop or two more, to be on safe side.

Please do not dry on paper to avoid contamination.

Sahai dear,
The masters used to dry the wet globules on a blotting paper.I think there is no danger of contamination but the paper must be clean and white.So many times i did that.

I fail to see the relevance of using blotting paper, which is a commodity that is not easily available today. I believe that facial tissue would be the nearest to blotting paper today.

Activating globules is not at all difficult and I have done this process for the last 30 years and have never had to use blotting paper to soak up the excess ethanol. One must only get the remedy in 10ml bottles which have dropper caps to enable the exact number of drops to be used which must be just sufficient to cover the quantity of No 30 globules which are a convenient size.

I use empty contact lens bottles which have a nylon cap and they are ideal for dispensing the remedy to a patient unless one chooses to give the remedy in water which is what I do now as I have found that this is far more effective than the dry dose.

Each bottle has space for about 150 globules and just 4 drops is sufficient to activate them all to the correct degree without any soaking of the lactose balls which can stick to the inner wall of the bottle if too much of the remedy is dropped in. It is important to roll the bottle between the fingers to prevent the globules at the bottom of the bottle from getting soaked with the ethanol remedy which will be visible at the bottom of the bottle till it is rolled between the fingers to enable the globules to be activated equally.

It is interesting to read Sajjad's note that the masters used to overdose the globules and would dry them on blotting paper which was available at that time when one only used pens with 'G' nibs that were dipped in an ink pot and the wet ink had to be blotted to prevent it soaking into the paper.

This was the era prior to 1935 when I too used this method of writing before "fountain pens" were invented.

The Masters used to fill the bottle two third with globules and on this medicine was poured till they all soaked in it then they leave it for certain time of period and then poured all the liquid and dry them on the blotting paper that was available at that time now white tissue paper can be used.What we do now a days ,we just wet the globules with few drops of medicine to save the remedy but the process taught in the homeopathic colleges is that which i have mentioned because it was adopted by the masters and became standard.What we are doing is not wrong at all but if you dont follow the original it wont be accepted in the colleges during education.

My small question has generated quite a lot of debate. Thanks all of you.

This is the way how all of us who are dedicated to Homeopath can learn by sharing our thoughts with each other.

Hello Sir's,

I want to convert Arnica Montana 3C into pills. Can I follow the below steps?

1. Take sucrose pills into a small pill bottle.
2. Fille around 80% of it.
3. Drop 17 drops of the liquid and roll them between the palms to ensure that the liquid is not staying at the bottom.

Please help me to know if this is right.
