ADVANTAGES OF LM POTENCY

     Dr. Srikanta Choudhury, M.D. (Hom)

            LM potency is the latest therapeutic system of the homoeopathy. It may helps to the practitioner with bellow ways :

            i.    LM potencies have the advantage of being the most gentle of the all the ways of doing homoeopathy. ‘Ideal of cure’ only can be    

                  materialized with this potency.

            ii.    LM potency is the most flexible of all the ways of doing homoeopathy.  We can adjust the dose easily to individualized the dosage for the    

                  patient.

            iii.   This potency is best for treating hypersensitive people who prove all the remedies.

            iv.   It is also the best for treating chronic diseases, severe pathologies and miasms, especially the active miasms with discharges and hyper-                   allergic reactions.

            v.   Highest development of power. In this new method of dynamization, the material part of the medicinal substance decreased more but    

                  grinding, pounding and succussion etc have been also increased much more times. Hence, the latent and indwelling essence of the material    

                  substances develops to its fullest extend in this way. Hahnemann says, “highest development of power and mildest in action.”

            vi.   Medicines of LM potency is milder in reaction. It can be safely administered even in most fatal cases without fear of dangerous and violent

                   medicinal aggravation.

            vii.  Frequent repetition is permissible for even long lasting remedies. It can be repeated if and when necessary. Even the medicines of long-   

                  continued action may be administered safely.

            viii. May be applied through olfactory method. For avoiding medicinal aggravation LM potency may applied through olfaction.

            ix.   Least amenable to antidotes. This potency renders full freedom to both the physician and the patient from the tyranny of centesimal potency. If

                  the selection found to be wrong, a new well-selected medicine may be administered without antidoting previous one.

            x.       The course of treatment can be minimized to half, quarter or even more less then that of Centesimal potency. It cures both acute    

                    and chronic patient surprisingly within quickest possible time.

            xi.     Can face boldly any challenge with the other school of medicines.
