What is the difference between the C, ck, and different number combinations. I gather it’s probably dose but not sure how it’s measured

Hello, The manufacturing processes of the C and CK scales yield products of different therapeutic applications. The Centesimal scale (the C scale) is diluted at the rate of 1 part of the previous solution to 99 parts of solvent. A different vial is used for each dilution step. We recommend the C scale for self-care, and we offer 6C and 30C dilutions in most retail locations. The C scale extends from 6C to 30C, where 6C is a low dilution and 30C is a high dilution. The Centesimal Korsakovian scale (the CK scale) is also diluted at the rate of 1 part of the previous dilution to 99 parts solvent, using the same vial for each step. The CK scale extends from 6CK to 100,000CK; 200CK is a medium dilution on that scale. NOTE: Boiron only carries medicines in a 200CK dilution; we do not carry medicines in a 200C dilution. Other dilutions and other scales may be prescribed by homeopathic practitioners and health care professionals, depending on their training and habits. Thank you.

It's the highest dilution on the C scale. 30C is the one I preferred and worked wonders for me. (I can't truly explain the potency, so here is something on both "C" and "CK")What does the âCâ listed after the active ingredient stand for?The most common type of dilutions is âCâ dilutions (centesimal dilutions). The 1C 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 1/100 dilution of the plant (the Mother Tincture being a 1/10 dilution of the plant itself). The 2C is obtained by mixing 1 part of the 1C with 99 parts of ethanol in a new vial and succussing. Recurrently, the 3C is obtained by mixing 1 part of the 2C with 99 parts of ethanol in a new vial and succussing.What does the âCKâ listed after the active ingredient stand for? Korsakovian dilutions are manufactured using a device specially designed to ensure that the dilution process is reproducible from one dilution to the next. Only one vial is used for the entire process. Using ultra-purified water as the solvent, the machine removes 99% of the Mother Tincture and replaces it with the same volume of solvent. The vial is succussed for 10.5 seconds. The result is called 1CK. The 2CK is prepared identically from the 1CK. The automatic process using only 1 vial allows higher dilutions to be reached. The most common Korsakovian dilutions are 200CK, 1,000CK (also called 1M), 10,000CK (10M), 50,000 CK (50M) and 100,000CK (100M or CM).

what is the strongest ignacia amara ?

I think that they have 2 ways of looking at strength one is the higher the number the more it's diluted. The other is that the lower the number, the higher the potency. I'm not a homeopathic practitioner with training, so I stick to either 30c or 200 c or ck. Safe and yet works. Perhaps someone else will have a better answer.

Does Caffa crude have green bean coffee in it?

Hello, Thank you for contacting the Boiron Information Center. Coffea cruda is the homeopathic dilution of the coffee bean. Thank you.

There’s a person who left a review freaking out about strychnine alkaloids in the pellets. I don’t think they understand how homeopathy works. With homeopathy, like treats like, which is why poisonous plants or even animal venom can be a homeopathic remedy. The actual substance isn’t in the pellet - it’s an energetic sucussion, which is incredibly diluted. For example, if you have a sunburn, one remedy that can help is the Belladonna flower, a flower that is poisonous and known for its heat. It’s applying heat to heat in the body, which allows the energy to move and your body to heal faster. This remedy uses the ignatia Amara plant, known as the St Ignacius Bean, which is a woody vine. The seeds do contain strychnine as well as brucine. The “poison” is the intensity that allows this remedy to help treat the intensity of grief, stress, anxiety, emotional shock etc. I’ve found it to be helpful dosing in water, it’s gentler on the body that way. Take 4 oz of water, put two pellets of the remedy in, stir for 15 seconds, take one sip and discard the rest of the water. That’s one dose.

I have been hearing good reviews from the borion company. And what is good about them, it will not interfere with medications. I am someone who gets lots of anxiety! I am on medications and have one that is not recomended to take everyday. So I decided to give this a try when I was having an anxiety attack. You put 5 little ones under the tounge, let them all dissolve. And I noticed even before they can dissolve, in about a few minutes, I started to relax! There are mixed reviews about this working for them and for some it did not work. For me it is working just fine for a few hours. But of course my controlled meds that is prescribed for me is the best.

Started buying this for my daughter who struggles to be still. She is hyper and has the jitters at night so sleep is hard to come by. I rather use all Natural products if I can.. She said “mom these are perfect and help me sleep and my mind isn’t so jumpy… well worth the buy
