Aqueous ethanol as a medium

Water-insoluble solids are potentized initially by trituration. This process breaks down drugs into nano particles which assume special importance because of their biological activity. Nano particles naturally occur in diseased tissues from which nosodes are prepared. The basis of liberation of dormant medicinal properties of drugs by trituration is the production of nano particles. Ethanol having a large non-polar part usually stabilizes specific water structures obtained during potentization of a drug. 

Before describing the details of the mechanism of action of homeopathic potencies in the living system we would discuss first the scientific basis of some aspects peculiar to Homeopathy. These are lateralities, time modalities, similia principle, non-linear systems, miasms, polycrests and holism. 

Treatment of cerebral stroke patients with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor antidepressant showed difference in improvement with respect to laterality. The post-stroke major depressive disorder improved much more in right stroke subjects in comparison with the left stroke ones (Spalletta el al., 2003). In case of unilateral brain injury due to stroke or parkinsonism, the intact hemisphere plays an important role in recovery and compensation for the lost motor function (Schallert el al., 2003). A well-selected homeopathic potency may facilitate recovery by acting on the intact hemisphere. It has been demonstrated that the brain can asymmetrically
