The general term for the indicated medicine is the Simillimum. Simillimum is that remedy, within the Materia Medica, which most closely and accurately matches the entire symptom picture for that individual patient. A list of the proving drug pictures/symptoms of the various remedies can be found in a homoeopathic Materica Medica, comprising all the recorded mental, general and local signs and symptoms, modalities and pathological changes (Swayne, 2000). Since Samuel Hahnemann’s time, the provings have been extended to more than a thousand substances – chemical, plant and animal – and the symptoms carefully recorded and tabulated for their particular details. 3.3.2 Remedy sources and Preparation procedures There are three processes involved in the making of Homoeopathic remedies: serial dilution, succussion, and trituration. Diluting the original crude substance is necessary in order to reduce its toxicity. Serial dilution means that each dilution is prepared from the dilution that immediately precedes it. Succussion and trituration are the methods by which mechanical energy is delivered to preparations in order to imprint the pharmacological properties of the original substance/drug upon the molecules of diluted drug. There are two main classes of original substances: soluble and insoluble. For soluble substances water or alcohol is used as the diluting agent. At each stage of serial dilution, violent agitation is carried out, either by hand or machine and this is what is meant by succussion. Insoluble substances are prepared differently to soluble substances in the initial stages. The diluting process is carried out by using lactose powder, instead of water-alcohol, as the diluting agent. Instead of succussion, trituration is the means by which mechanical energy is instituted into the diluted drug. This is carried out by a prolonged grinding with a mortar and pestle. Once a certain level of dilution has been reached (1/106), the drug may continue being diluted as per soluble substances. Thereafter the material is treated as for soluble substances (Lessell 1983). There is a third class of original substance called the Imponderable Remedies. Presently this class is now being called the Universal Remedies. An example of this would be substances such as light and colour. If a certain frequency of light (i.e. colour) is directed through a medium (e.g. water/alcohol) over a period of time, the medium takes on the light’s properties. This method of remedy preparation is not a method commonly used, however several homoeopaths claim to have had successful results when using the remedies therapeutically (Robbins, 2005). 39PDF Image | THE USE OF LIGHT AND COLOUR AS A HEALING MODALITY
