A nuclear magnetic resonance study of potencies of natrum muriaticum 15CH prepared by trituration and succussion versus natrum muriaticum 15CH prepared by succussion alone

Abstract

The purpose of this investigation was to analyse and compare the Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectra of potencies of Natrum muriaticum 15CH prepared by trituration and succussion, and Natrum muriaticum 15CH prepared by succussion alone. It was hypothesized that in terms of the effect of trituration (or not) of these substances that significant differences exist between the chemical shift and relative integration values of the CH2, CH3, H2O and OH signals of these homoeopathic substances. It was further hypothesized that the process of trituration plays an integral part in the development of distinct physicochemical identities in the potencies mentioned above.
