Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

what does 200ck mean

Accepted Answer

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 âCâ listed after the active ingredient stand for?The most common type of dilutions is âCâ 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 âCKâ 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).

Question 3

what is the strongest ignacia amara ?

Accepted Answer

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.
