Biological information Transfer: Our favourite water carries the information

Translational value The absence of original substance in highly diluted potencies has always been a matter of great debate. While there are many theories to propose the existence and presence of nano-particles, nano-structures, entropy, etc., but an equal challenge remains. “How does the medicinal properties of highly diluted substances are transferred to a biological system … Read more

Micro-nano particles of Hypericum perforatum – Homeopathy exists, even at nano-structure level

Translational value The homeopathic dilutions of Hypericum perfoatum L prepared using potentization were subjected to SEM, XRD, FTIR, DLS micro Mastersizer, DLS nano Zetasizer, UV-Vis and TEM techniques to study the physico-chemical properties. There was a clear differentiation of physicochemical properties between the source material and potentized potencies.  Micro-nanoparticles in colloidal form in all potencies … Read more
