Homeopathic potency refers to the strength of the homeopathic medicine or ingredient in a homeopathic formula. Generally, the higher the potency, the higher the strength of the homeopathic medicine. The homeopathic process of potentization brings out the latent healing power of the substance and helps to eliminate undesirable side effects of the homeopathic medicine. Homeopathic medicines are manufactured in compliance with U.S. Food and Drug Administration regulations and the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States (HPUS)

Homeopathic medicines are obtained from a precise and controlled process of successive homeopathic dilutions and succussions. They are commonly made by crushing a plant, animal, or mineral substance, then placing it into a solvent such as grain alcohol. The extract is then further diluted in a mixture of alcohol and water. (Solid products can be diluted using lactose.) The process is repeated many times to achieve a therapeutic dilution. After each dilution the mixture is vigorously agitated to deliver a calibrated amount of shaking. This is called succussion. Both succussion and dilution are critical to assuring the therapeutic effect of the medicine. The process of preparing non-soluble substances uses lactated milk sugar instead of alcohol and is called trituration.

The official homeopathic ingredient name generally appears in Latin, as is the case with “Arnica Montana.” The Latin names are systematic and unique with ingredient standards of identity and purity set by the Homoeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States (HPUS). If the letters “HPUS” appear after a drug name, that indicates that an official monograph (an approved document that sets forth the standards and specifications for a drug) exists for the drug, and it has been studied and approved by homeopathic experts and meets the HPUS standard.

The most common potency used in combination homeopathic medicines are “X” potencies or decimal potencies. The 1X is obtained by mixing 1 part of the Mother Tincture with 9 parts of ethanol in a new vial and then vigorously shaking the solution (succussion). The result is a 1/10 dilution of the plant (the Mother Tincture being a 1/10 dilution of the plant itself). The 2X is obtained by mixing 1 part of the 1X with 9 parts of ethanol in a new vial and succussing. Recurrently, the 3X is obtained by mixing 1 part of the 2C with 9 parts of ethanol in a new vial and succussing.

C dilutions are decimal dilutions prepared similarly to X dilutions, but the factor of dilution is only 1/100 from one dilution to the next.
