Medium potency remedies (12X - 30X)
one to three times a day
High potency remedies (30X - 200X)

Potency Vs. Duration of Action The lower the potency, the shorter its duration of action (acute conditions). The higher the potency, the longer its duration of action (chronic conditions). As opposed to pathologic or specific symptom prescribing, constitutional prescribing does not treat the disease entity, but rather the symptom complex of the individual who has the disease. The purpose of constitutional prescribing is not to seek to change a patient's character, but by modifying it's tone balances it, thereby giving systematic, systemic support to the self-healing effort of the organism. By encompassing the sum total of the individual's physical, emotional, and mental picture constitutional analysis and prescribing performs psychotherapy while also working on the physical level.
