Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopic (FESEM) and Energy Dispersive Spectroscopic (EDS) Studies of Centesimal Scale Potencies of the Homeopathic Drug \u00a0 Lycopodium clavatum<\/p>\n

ES \u00a0Rajendran<\/strong>, MD (Hom)
\nDirector, Prof & Head Dept of Homeopathic Philosophy, Vinayaka Missions Homeopathic Medical College,\u00a0 Unit of Vinayaka Missions University, Salem 636 308, India<\/p>\n

Background<\/strong>: Homeopathy is a therapeutic method discovered by Samuel Hahnemann, MD, in 1790.\u00a0 Homeopathy often makes use of medicines prepared at such high dilutions that the physical existence of even a single molecule of the source substance is said to be theoretically impossible.\u00a0 Nevertheless, these drug products appear to have biological effects.\u00a0 Therefore, we sought to examine the potential physical properties of a common homeopathic medicine, \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Lycopo-dium clavatum.<\/p>\n

Methods:<\/strong> Selected dilution factors (potencies) of Lycopodium clavatum \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 were studied with the help of Field Emission \u00a0Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) and Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) for the identifcation of particles and \u00a0their elementary composition.<\/p>\n

Results:<\/strong>\u00a0 Nanoparticles were detected in all potencies tested.\u00a0 Carbon and oxygen were the two elements present in all sample particles.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/strong>: The present study confirms the presence of nanoparticles in multiple potencies of the common homeopathic medicine Lycopodium clavatum.\u00a0 This data adds to the body of evidence concerning the presence of source material in high potency homeopathic medicines.<\/p>\n
