Effect of trituration on thermal degradation of lactose using thermogravimetric analysis

The effect of trituration on thermal degradation of lactose (sugar of milk) was studied using a thermogravimetric analyser. A correlation between the rate of degradation with increased potency observed up to 600§C suggests that the vehicle plays an important role in the bioavailability of the drug. Comparison was also made between machine and hand tritured lactose. For lower potencies (up to the 2x) machine triturated lactose was found to degrade faster than hand triturated lactose, whereas at higher potencies hand triturated lactose showed faster degradation as compared to machine triturated lactose (AU)

Importance of the 3c trituration in the manufacture of homoeopathic medicines

Based on the original trituration of gold made in 1818, Hahnemann introduced trituration to the 3c as a general method for use in homoeopathic pharmacy from 1835 onwards, thus distancing himself from the use of solutions and mother tinctures. He found that 3c triturated medicines were more effective, with constituents retained to a much highter degree and improved storage qualities

A importancia da trituracao C3 no preparo de medicamentos homeopaticos / Importance of the 3c trituration in the manufacture of homeopathic medicines

Baseando-se na primeira trituração do ouro, realizada em 1818, Hahnemann introduziu, a partir de 1835, a trituração C3 como procedimento geral para o preparo de todos os medicamentos nas farmácias homeopáticas, distanciando-se, assim, do uso de soluções e tinturas-mãe. Constatou que medicamentos obtidos por trituração C3 apresentavam uma ação mais potente e conservavam melhor os constituintes da matéria-prima e a sua durabilidade

O legado de Hahnemann: as potencias Q (LM) / Hahnemann's legacy: the Q (LM) potencies

Os metodos de preparacao farmaceutica desenvolvidos por Hahnemann entre 1801 e 1842 sao claramente definidos e reprodutiveis. As potencias Q (50 milesimais) oferecem o "caminho mais confiavel e inofensivo" para uma "rapida, suave e permanente" recuperacao da saude. Um estudo imparcial dos documentos originais existentes permite-nos - 150 anos mais tarde e depois de inumeros mal-entendidos - produzir e prescrever estas potencias altamente eficientes como foram originariamente planejadas. A regra empirica demanda: "Siga-o, mas siga-o exatamente"
