In homeopathy, medicines in dilution form are prepared using a base called dispensing alcohol, which is a purified form of ethanol used specifically for medicinal purposes. This base acts as a preservative and also helps in the extraction and preservation of the medicinal properties of the remedy.
Here’s what happens in both cases:
1. Liquid Dilution: When you see a doctor adding liquid to a bottle, they are usually mixing the required number of drops of a homeopathic medicine (dilution) with a small amount of dispensing alcohol or water, depending on the prescription, for internal use.
2. Globules (pills): In this case, a few drops of the dilution are directly added to blank
sugar globules. The alcohol evaporates quickly, leaving the medicinal imprint on the pills.
So, the liquid you are referring to is medicinal-grade dispensing alcohol, used in small, safe quantities as a vehicle for the medicine.
