Biochemical And Haematological Evaluation Of Different Potencies Of Homoeopathic Drug Ricinus Communis, E Sundaram, P Reddy, K Singh, K.R. Nair, Ch. Raveendar, C Nayak
Indian Journal of Research in Homoeopathy
Although the seeds and / or oil of R.communis have been reported to be highly toxic, these seeds are being used in nursing women to increase the flow of milk. There is therefore a need to generate data on the biochemical and haematological profiles. Four potencies (3x, 6x, 12x and 30x) of this drug were administered orally in daily doses of 0.1 ml, 0.2 ml and 0.5 ml/rat for 14 days. The biochemical and haematological profiles of animals were studied on 21st and on 28th day during post -treatment period. Preliminary studies carried out with 4 potencies of R. communis …

Management And Control Of Genetic Processes In Cotton Plants Through Homoeopathy, H Gangar
Management And Control Of Genetic Processes In Cotton Plants Through Homoeopathy, H Gangar
Indian Journal of Research in Homoeopathy
Detailed study on effects of homoeopathic drugs on plant bodies was undertaken at Central Institute for Research on Cotton Technology (ICAR) in Mumbai. This paper presents promising results of some of these preliminary experiments. This study reveals that electrically neutral and pure distilled water develops internal electrical charges as soon as homoeopathic drugs are added into it. Different drugs as well as different potencies of same drug develop different electrical charges. Further experiments, conducted on plants, proved that medicated water containing drugs of highest potency strongly influences the genetic processes of plants. It can accelerate germination process, can shorten cultivation …
