(Hahnemans Method described in Robin Murphys 'Commentary on Organon of Medicine Sixth Edition' B Jain 2005 Pages 143 to166 and FF Villalvas 'LM Scale 50 Millesimal Potencies' B Jain 2005 First English Edition Pages 3 to 6)
For example Silicea LM
Take 100 grains (1 grain=0.06 grams) of milk sugar.
Divide into 3 equal piles.
Take one grain of Silicea.
Put it in the first pile.
Triturate / Scrape for 20 minutes.
(7 minutes/ 3 minutes & 7 minutes/ 3 minutes, ie 20 minutes)
Add the second pile to this.
Triturate / Scrape for 20 minutes.
Add the third pile to this.
Triturate / Scrape for 20 minutes to obtain a 1C.
Take another 100 grains (1 grain=0.06 grams) of milk sugar.
Divide into 3 equal piles.
Take one grain of Silicea 1C.
Put it in the first pile.
Triturate / Scrape for 20 minutes.
Add the second pile to this.
Triturate / Scrape for 20 minutes.
Add the third pile to this.
Triturate / Scrape for 20 minutes to obtain a 2C.
Take another 100 grains (1 grain=0.06 grams) of milk sugar.
Divide into 3 equal piles.
Take one grain of Silicea 2C.
Put it in the first pile.
Triturate / Scrape for 20 minutes.
Add the second pile to this.
Triturate / Scrape for 20 minutes.
Add the third pile to this.
Triturate / Scrape for 20 minutes to obtain a 3C.
Take one grain of Silicea 3C and put it in 400 drops of water.
Add 100 drops of alcohol to obtain LM/0. (in slang LM Mother and in some parts of Europe Q)
Take one drop of LM/0 and put in100 drops of water / alcohol and succus 100 times to get LM/1 or 0/1. (in some parts of Europe Q1) (Starting potency in LM Scale). To use as required. Succus as required (2,4,5,6,8,10,12 times etc)
Since the dilution works out to 1 to 50000 also called 50 millesmial potency.([400+100]x100)
Take one drop of LM/1 and put it into 1/2 dram vial (1/3 full) containing 500 #10 pellets which should be all wet. Mix them together (dry them out) to get LM/1 dry pellets. Take one #10 pellet of LM/1 and put it into 100 drops of water / alcohol and succus 100 times to get LM/2 or 0/2. (in some parts of Europe Q2) To use as required. Succus as required (2,4,5,6,8,10,12 times etc)
Take one drop of LM/2 and put it into 1/2 dram vial (1/3 full) containing 500 #10 pellets which should be all wet. Mix them together (dry them out) to get LM/2 dry pellets. Take one #10 pellet of LM/2 and put it into 100 drops of water / alcohol and succus 100 times to get LM/3 or 0/3. (in some parts of Europe Q3) To use as required. Succus as required (2,4,5,6,8,10,12 times etc)
Take one drop of LM/3 and put it into 1/2 dram vial (1/3 full) containing 500 #10 pellets which should be all wet. Mix them together (dry them out) to get LM/3 dry pellets. Take one #10 pellet of LM/3 and put it into 100 drops of water / alcohol and succus 100 times to get LM/4 or 0/4. (in some parts of Europe Q4) To use as required. Succus as required (2,4,5,6,8,10,12 times etc)
And so on etc.
Take one drop of LM/29 and put it into 1/2 dram vial (1/3 full) containing 500 #10 pellets which should be all wet. Mix them together (dry them out) to get LM/29 dry pellets. Take one #10 pellet of LM/29 and put it into 100 drops of water / alcohol and succus 100 times to get LM/30 or 0/30. (in some parts of Europe Q30) To use as required. Succus as required (2,4,5,6,8,10,12 times etc)
