This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Dear asimattar

The book you are referring to is by Boericke, in which he clearly states in the preface that the potency and dosage guidelines are only for indication purposes, and it is finally the physician, who has to decide about them.

When he says tincture to third potency, he is referring to the mother tincture to 3c potency.

The posology ,the science of potency and administration has evolved so much, that those guidelines are irrelavant now.

So, don't bother about them.

Dear Asimattar

The grying of hair, and falling may be due to some internal problem.

Homeopathy is not like allopathy to treat by the name of the disease, or purely external symptoms like yours.

Please consult a competent homeopath, who gives you one medicine at a time, who will take a complte case and suggest the medicine suitable for you.

What works for X need not work for Y in homeopathy, except for cases like accident victims, where the symptoms they present will be more or less same.

If your friend has taken a case and suggested acid phos 30, go ahead and take it.

I will suggest the following method.

Take about 30 ml. of water and mix 2 to 3 drops of the medicine, stir vigorously for 5 times, and take it as a dose.

Three times in a day is not required. Once a day is enough.

On the second day, do the same,but stir it 10 times with a spoon and take it.

The third day, 15 times, the fourth day 20 times and so on.

Take like this, while increasing the stirring before each dose, once in a day, for a week.

Then stop the medicine, give a gap of one week and report progress.

If you experience any disturbing symptoms within the first week itsel stop the medicine and report.

I am assumung that your friend has taken a proper case, and selected the medicine for you.

Even if you want to experiment with acid phos, it is O.K., if you strictly follow my guidelines.

All the best.
