TRANSLATIONAL VALUE (by IPRH)

In this interesting yet thought provoking research the Viscum album Quercus L was prepared according to homeopathic drug preparation guidelines, but with a difference. The difference was use of turbulent mixing, laminar flow induced by a vortex or diffusion-based mixing. The potencies were then analyzed using droplet evaporation method and following observations were made:

• The patterns of the variant succussed under turbulence were characterized by lower complexity,
• Those obtained from the vortex-mixed variant were characterised by greater complexity compared to the diffusion-based mixed control variant.

Therefore, by using the droplet evaporation method the effects of liquid flow can be ascertained easily.
