The Minimum Dose
Ardnt-Schultz Law
Two medical scientists (Ardnt and Schultz) tested substances on seed germinations. They discovered that a large quantity of a substance would destroy life, a moderate quantity would inhibit life, and small quantities would stimulate life! This is exactly what Hahnemann found when using remedies on his patients.
Less is more in homeopathy.
Homeopathy is incontestably one of the safest healing therapies in the world today because of its use of the minimum dose (sometimes referred to as infinitesimal dose). Concurrently homeopathy is possibly the most effective healing therapy in the world today for healing people from chronic conditions because of the use of the minimum dose. With minimum doses there is no toxic destruction to the individual from the therapy. The vitality of the individual is never weakened by use of an infinitesimal amount of a remedy, unlike most modern drugs. As Samuel Hahnemann (The father of modern homeopathy) developed homeopathy he found that because of the use of the “Law of Similars” the dosage could be extremely small to be successful.
The smaller the amount of actual substance used, as a remedy creates a surprisingly stronger, deeper, longer, and more profound healing response. This is unquestionably the hardest concept in homeopathy to be understood and accepted, especially by western medical institutions, because it is the antithesis of how western drugs are used. Remember western drugs and therapies are used to dominate the body into submission and suppression with the use of large quantities. And, more force is seemingly better. Homeopathic remedies are used to stimulate the body’s own healing powers to heal itself with the least necessary quantity presented.
