Abstract

Background of the study: Trituration, a homeopathic treatment method, has been extensively studied at Hamsa Homeopathy Medical College, Hospital & Research Centre. Department of Homoeopathic Pharmacy Researchers have experimented with crude Graphites and compared their potencies to medicinal trituration. They also conducted microscopic research, revealing that the particles' size decreases and the particle's dynamic state increases. Decimal potency is denoted by suffixing the letter 'X' to a number indicating the potency i.e. the first potency is 1X, the second is 2X, and so on Samuel Hahnemann introduced trituration for the process of potentisation this scale is usually to make the lower potencies or strength up to 6X.  Trituration is well-known for its ability to show the essence of treatment at every stage, supported by medical cases and physio-chemical evidence. Graphites, a homeopathic treatment made from black lead, is used to treat various clinical conditions.


Objective To reveal the Importance of trituration and its dynamic action.


Materials and Methods: For this research, we adopted the trituration method under the Decimal scale to exhibit its potentiality in Homoeopathic medicine, Google Scholar and PubMed databases were explored. The entire texts of selected studies were examined for study design after the review of abstracts.


Results: As we have selected Graphites crude drug of 1gm, 9 parts of the vehicle (Sugar of milk) all the subsequent trituration are made by taking 1 part by the previous one and 9 parts of sugar of milk and triturated for 1 hour. Underclass- VII, VIII, and IX As per HPI Volume One and Pharmacy textbook Mandal & Mandal. Final result we obtained is 1X, 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X, 6X. The following search criteria were used to find the relevant studies in the Google Scholar and PubMed databases: Trituration studies in homeopathy, statistics, clinical evidence, and studies related to Homoeopathy.  The majority of the studies show the effects of homoeopathic medicines used to treat the patient's condition without having any adverse side effects on other body parts, thereby lowering the risk of developing further complications from the illness. Full texts of shortlisted studies were examined after scrutiny of abstracts for study design. and conclusions were drawn.


Conclusion: Trituration is a homeopathic treatment method that has been extensively studied at Hamsa Homeopathy Medical College, Hospital & Research Centre. Department of Homoeopathic Pharmacy Researchers have experimented with crude Graphites and compared their potencies to medicinal trituration. They also conducted microscopic research, revealing that the particles' size decreases and the particle's dynamic state increases. To make lower potencies or strength up to 6X. The process of potentisation was introduced by Samuel Hahnemann. Graphites, a homeopathic treatment made from black lead, is used to treat various clinical conditions
