  • Abstract
    Going by naive dilution concept, Avogadro Number puts 12th as the potency-limit (in the centesimal scale) beyond which a homoeopathic medicine cannot even theoretically contain any atom/molecule of the original substance with which potentisation starts. Continuing further, a single molecule of the original substance can be ensured in a 30th potency medicine by taking a medicinal mass of several thousand Suns!!! And that is impossible. Still, they are effective (and often better) curative agents. What is the secret of their medicinal value? - This is the standing challenge for more than two centuries. Several noteworthy attempts have been made to meet this challenge. Right now we may be on the verge of a solution. This paper is an attempt to address this issue.
