50 Millesimal Scales of

Potencies
It is a finer & latest scale of potency selection of Hahnemann
which is prepared in the ratio of 1:50,000 and was mentioned
clearly about its preparation, preservation and administration in
6th edition of Organon of Medicine written in the year 1842(life
time of Hahnemann) and was published in the year 1921.

Nomenclature of this
Scale
Dr. P.Schmidt named it as globule Method because of the fact
that drug Strength of medicine prepared under this method is
50,000 times less than that contained with medicine prepared
according to drop methods.

Most Important points of 50

millesimal potencies
Here are some of important points noted by all physicians.
1. Milder in action
2. Both acute as well as chronic diseases including emergency
condition, even the long acting medicines & nosodes can be
repeated without any fair of aggregation.
3. This scale is safe as because want of violent & dangerous
aggregation.
4. Both acute & mostly chronic cases cures in quickest possible
time (time of cure reduces to ½,1/4th or even shorter apho246) .
Hahnemann in his foot-note132 mentioned:
 “What I said in the 5th edition of Organon, in a long note to this
paragraph in order to prevent this undesirable reaction of the vital
energy was all that I then had justified. But during the last four or
five years, however, all these difficulties are wholly solved by my
new alter but perfected method. The same carefully selected
medicine may now be given daily and for months, if necessary in
this way, namely, after the lower degree of potency has been
used for one or two weeks in the treatment of chronic diseases,
advance is made in the same way to higher degrees. ”
So it is clear if the medicine is similimum the LM potency is far
better in comparison to centesimal.
Therefore it is my humble request to all for realizing the beauty
& truth of LM potency for the quickest accomplishment of cure.

Preparation of
Medicines
As per 6th edition of Organon in apho270-271 & foot-note150-157
we get the preparation of LM potencies.

ADMINISTRATION
HAHNEMANNIAN DIRECTION OF ADMINISTRATION AS PER $-246 0F
6th. EDITION OF ORGANON OF MEDICINE
I) the medicine selected with utmost care should be perfectly
homoeopathic.
II) It should be highly potentised.
III) It should be dissolved in water.
IV) Medicine must be given in proper small dose.
V) Repetition should be made at definite intervals for quickest
accomplished of
cure.
 One poppy seed like globule of the similimum should be taken
either in 2-ounce or 4-ounce glass phial with new water and cap
and then distilled water should be poured in it up to the neck of
the phial. For preservation few drops of rectified spirit should be
added to this medicinal solution
and 7 or 15 or 16 doses should be marked as per necessity.
After 10-12 downward successions to the phial against a hard
elastic body, one dose should be poured in a glass of distilled
water (containing 7-8 spoonfuls of water, footenote134). Then
after through mixing by spoon, only one teaspoonful should be
taken and the rest thrown away.
Normally in acute diseases it should be repeated every 2-6 hourly,
and in case of chronic diseases once or twice or weekly once
twice or thrice or fortnightly. In very urgent cases may be
administered every 10-15 minutes interval as per the virulence,
nature, depth, and critical condition of the patient.
* After completion of first potency the next or subsequent
potency should be given. For example after 0/1, 0/2 should be
given and thus from lower to higher i.e. ascending series of
potencies should be administered .Here unlike centesimal, after
administration of a single dose we do not wait for the
improvement to pas off. Instead, 50-millisimal scale can be
repeated along with the improvement of the patient.
When there is aggravation or return of previous symptoms we
should stop the medicines. The aggravation will soon be over
within a short period of time. Now same remedy is to be given in
more diluted form (at long intervals) i.e. from 2nd. Or 3rd.or 4th.
Glass of water according to susceptibility of the patient. In this
way we can easily overcome the medicinal aggravation, which is
one of the most important advantages of LM potency over
centesimal potency.
 DIRECTIONS FOR
DISPENSING
A) Direction to the physician: -
Take one brand new phial of
120ml. With new washer and cap. Pour distilled water as much as
to divide in required doses of 16/8/7/4 or less and dissolve only
0ne medicated globule of no10 of exact selected similimum in
desire potency .To this solution add 5/8/10 drops of rectified spirit
or good alcohol for preservation. Close the cap tightly and
dispense as per direction.
B) Direction to the patient:-
Before taking the medicine each
time give 10-12 downward succession against your palm and put
one dose ( marked by the physician) with 3/4th. Cup of water and
after thorough mixing take only one teaspoonful from it or as
directed by the physician.
If there is aggravation dilute the medicine further in 2nd. Or 3rd. Or
if required in 4th. Glass of water and only one teaspoonful of it will
be taken & rest will be thrown away.

WITH WHAT POTENCY WE

WILL START
1. as per foot note 155 of 6th. Edition of organon of Medicine” in
acute fever” the small doses of lowest dynamisation degrees of
these thus perfect medicinal preparations even of medicines of
long continued action ( for instances, belladonna) may be
repeated at short intervals.
**2. “In the treatment of chronic diseases also it is best to begin
with lowest degrees of dynamisation and when necessary
advance to higher, even more powerful but mildly acting
degrees.”

*** 3. It is always safe to start any medicine from the lower

degree i.e.from0/1 or 0/2 initially and ultimately go higher so long
the improvement is going on.

WHAT IS THE NECESSITY OF

SUCCUSSION
Each and every dose should be succussed as clearly mentioned in
footnote 133 (6th. Edition). When the best chosen homoeopathic
medicine- “…was dissolved in water and the first dose prove
beneficial, a second or third and even smaller dose from the
bottle standing undisturbed, even in intervals of few days, would
prove no longer beneficial, even though the original preparation
had been potentised with ten successions or I suggested later
with but two successions in order to obviate this disadvantage
and this according to above reasons. But thorough modification of
every dose in its dynamisation degree as I herewith teach, there
exist no offence, even if the doses be prepared more frequently,
even if the medicine be ever so highly potentised with ever so
many successions..”

MERITS OF 50-
MILLESIMAL SCALE
The clinician and scientist Hahnemann found the potency up to
30th. The two succession method failed to deliver desired results.
His 10 or more succession method showed too violent and
dangerous medicinal aggravation. Particularly in oversensitive
sick organisms Hahnemann faced many new problems. He carried
on further research for 4 to 5 years to obtain desired medicinal
power with rapid and long lasting penetration. On the other hand,
the quantity of medicine was further reduced for avoiding further
medicinal aggravation. Though difficult task indeed Hahnemann
was successful in full extent and his followers, as a result, can
achieve quickest accomplishment of healing art by using 50-
millesimal potencies.
The centesimal potencies as already stated have big gaps e.g.
6,12,30,200,1M,10M,50M,CM,DM,MM,etc.Therefore,after
administration of medicines we have to wait for a long time till the
aggravation is over.Moreover,as long as the improvement is on,
our hands are off. But in case of 50-millesimal potencies, as they
ascend serially from lowest degree and there is no gap, one may
say, there is no tension, no headache about the aggravation
etc.One can proceed so long the improvement is on and stop the
medicine at the end of the treatment when there is homoeopathic
aggravation. The symptom will go off from the patient and cure
established. This scale of potency is considered to be the best
because:-
1. In this scale, rapid action of the medicine takes place. It is
gentle
because there is no medicinal aggravation. Finally, the
permanent
restoration of health occurs.
2. Too frequent repetition of the medicines even those like
nosodes and polychrests are possible.
3. We can avoid the medicinal aggravation by minimizing the
quantity of
the medicine.
4. Qualitative power of the medicine is increased.
5. We can control the aggravation as per our need.
6. Long lasting chronic diseases can be cured within the shortest
period of
 time.
7. So-called incurable diseases can be cured easily by 50-
millesimal
potency.
8. Acute and virulent cases can also be controlled within a short
period of
time by frequent repetition.
9. In incurable cases where palliation is the only way, this
potency proves
highly efficacious.
10. It works beautifully in mental diseases,
11. The medicine is much cheap and one drachm of poppy-sized
globules can serve 800-1000 people.
** The above facts prove the usefulness, uniqueness and
superiority of
this scale.

DEMERITS OF 50-MILLESIMAL
SCALE
In this scale demerits are very limited except that there are a few
harassment to the physician, e.g.:-
i) One needs new glass phial with new cap and washer.
ii) Distilled water is needed, which should be neutral i.e. neither
acidic nor
alkaline.
iii) Rectified spirit is required for preservation etc.
** the patients too find inconvenient to carry the bottles than
the powder forms. Sometimes modern patients are not willing to
use the repeated and frequent doses. But, from my personal
experience of over 25 years, I can state that the exclusive use of
50-millesimal potencies with marvelous results. Even the unwilling
patients of modern age after witnessing repeated failures of other
pathies realize that this is the best mode of application of
medicine.
