To what extent did Hahnemann dilute substances?
Slightly
Moderately
Massively
Not at all
Answer
The answer is massively. Hahnemann's dilutions were so extreme that the original substance was often no longer detectable. He believed that this process, which he called potentization, increased the potency of the substance. He would dilute a substance by a factor of 100 or 1,000, and then shake it vigorously. This process would be repeated multiple times.
