Prescribing Organotherapy
Most Organomedicine can be prescribed safely at a 7c potency. Where a definite imbalance exists, a
higher or lower potency can fine-tune a case and help to restore balance.
When using a single remedy, it is important to decide whether a stimulating, normalising or suppressing
potency is required. An overactive organ, or a hormonal excess may require an 8c potency or greater.
An underactive organ or a deficiency state may require a 4c-5c potency. An organ requiring detoxification
and tonification requires a 7c potency only.
Potencies under 10c can be given 1-3x day. Twice daily is commonly prescribed for a 7c potency. 30c
potencies are best given less frequently, usually 1-7x week on average.
Nosodes are given for a short period of time. For example, Glandular Fever Virus Nosode can be given
in 30c potency 3x week in a case of Post Viral Syndrome for 3 weeks. Long term treatment is not
required.
Hormones, hormone derivatives and their relative glands may require longer term treatment, even over
a period of months.
A high potency requires less dosage, even weekly or monthly. Lower potencies can be repeated often,
even several times a day. Higher potencies are required sometimes for acute symptoms, pain, nosodes,
intense symptoms and emotional/mental symptoms.
Where an isopathic medicine is not required, but administered, the medicine will act as a benign
substance. Where combinations are used therefore, and some of the ingredients are not useful, they
will simply not act as medicines. Repeated doses of an unwanted medicine over a long period of time,
however is not advisable.
Classical homoeopathic principles also apply to organomedicine. Where a patient is responding well to a
potency and dosage, aim to reduce the frequency. Orthodox Medicine insists on maintaining the regime
indefinitely. Homoeopathy suggests a “less is best” approach. Reducing the dose to daily, every second
day, twice weekly, once weekly, etc. is sound prescribing advice. Examples as follows:
Ailment Dosage
