Notes on potencies
This list contains notes of commonly used potencies, either by homeopaths or available in store-bought preparations. In clinical homeopathy, the choice of potency (dilution & succussion levels) to be used is determined by homeopathic practitioners or physicians on an individual basis. Some limit their use to the lower potencies of 4 × (4D) through 30x (30D), while others use 3C through CM (100,000C) potencies.[20] For more information on potencies and dilution, see Homeopathic dilutions.
