2. Introduction
• Karolina Dziunikowska serves as a homeopathic practitioner in Toronto,
Ontario. Dedicated to treating the individual as a whole person, Karolina
Dziunikowska is committed to helping her clients understand what
homeopathic medicine is and how it works.
The preparation of a homeopathic medicine begins with the gathering of a
raw material, the specific nature of which depends on the needs of the
patient. Potential remedies in contemporary practice range from plants,
fungi, and animal-derived ingredients to microorganisms.
If the material is insoluble in alcohol or water, it must undergo a process of
manual grinding. This process, known as trituration, uses a dry dilution
process to mix one part of the source material with 99 parts of lactose to
create what practitioners call a mother tincture. Preparers then repeat
this process until the substance is ready to dilute in alcohol or water.

3. Homeopathic Remedies
• From this point, the process of remedy preparation mimics that of
soluble substances. Those source materials dissolve in alcohol at 99
parts of alcohol to one part substance, and this process repeats as
many times as is necessary to achieve the necessary potency. For
example, 10 repetitions of dilution and succussion yields a 10C
potency, while 20 repetitions yield a 20C potency.
If a remedy requires a more concentrated form of the substance,
the preparer uses what is known as an X measure, which is only 9
parts alcohol or lactose to every single part of substance.
Regardless of whether the solution is based on the X or C measure,
however, the process is the same. This full dilution nearly eliminates
the material presence of the original material while preserving the
quality of energy that stimulates healing in the patient.
