Abstract
Objectives: To examine the differences between medical and non-medical practitioners with regard to the selection of potency. Design: Postal survey to medical homoeopaths belonging to the Faculty of Homoeopathy, and to non-medical homoeopaths, members of the Society of Homoeopaths. Participants: One hundred medical homoeopaths and 100 non-medical homoeopaths. Results: Homeopaths from both groups agreed on certain fundamental concepts. Medical and non-medical homoeopaths differ in the prescription of potency most significantly on greater use of LM potencies and greater consideration of pathology by non-medical homeopaths and greater use of a lower potency in the case of an aggravation in medical homeopaths. Conclusions: Despite the differences in education of medical and non-medical homeopaths, there appears to be general agreement on the philosophical aspects of potency prescription.
