“…This will effectively counter the argument that there is no material drug in homeopathic potencies. From another viewpoint, in an article titled Molar Ratio Rectified Potencies, the need for the exactness of chemical principals applicable to homeopathic medicines was presented, eliminating the inconsistencies in the number of molecules in a given potency among different drugs [12].…”

Summary The proposed fluid jet potentiser is designed to eliminate three persistent drawbacks of the conventional liquid potency making process. It eliminates the need for the container to be shaken, the need for headspace air over the fluid medium and, most importantly, it prevents an admixture of gases with the dilutions being prepared. The headspace gases may interfere with the purity of the potencies by undergoing potentisation themselves. The dilutions are made to agitate with a fluid jet inside a completely filled air-free stationary potentising chamber. It operates on a unique principle of a closed-loop system of single bore countercurrent turbulent fluid flow. The new process is expected to produce exclusive medicine specific ?clean homeopathic potencies? by complete elimination of headspace gases. The expected flow patterns were demonstrated in a laboratory setup using a coloured solution.

Purpose: A deficit was identified in the traditional method of making homeopathic dilutions by 1:9 or 1:99 serial dilutions based on the physical units of mass or volume. When the chemical unit mole is considered, the 1:9 mass-based dilution of nitroglycerin in ethyl alcohol has a 1:48.8 molar ratio. In order to provide the 1:9 molar ratio, the mass ratios required for formulations with lithium carbonate: lactose (diluent) and lead phosphate: lactose are 1:41.7 and 1:3.8 respectively. The extreme incongruity between the mass and the volume-based 1:9 ratios and the ratios based on chemical unit mole show the need to adopt the later scheme which is based on sound principles of chemistry. Method: Detailed calculations in determining the 1:9 molar ratio of drug: diluent are explained. Method for the molar ratio calculation of chemically less defined medicines such as plant extracts are proposed. Results: A Molar Ratio Universal Formula for the calculation of the amount of diluent to be used in preparing a given potency of a homeopathic preparation is introduced. Conclusion:The molar ratio dilutions based on principles of chemistry stand for wider acceptance of homeopathic medicines by the scientific community and for the advancement of the homeopathic system of medicine.
