Question 1

Does anyone know what the difference between the 12c and 30c?

Accepted Answer

Hello Cindy, 
Thank you for contacting the Boiron Information Center. 
Most single homeopathic medicines are available in several dilutions. The letter indicates which dilution process was chosen, while the number indicates how many times that dilution process was used, and consequently, which symptoms the medicine is meant to treat. Here’s a quick guide to using homeopathic medicines: Low dilutions, such as 6X or 6C, will relieve local symptoms— symptom you can point a finger at (i.e., an insect bite or bruise). Medium dilutions, such as 12X, 9C or 12C, will relieve general symptoms—more than one symptom in more than one location (i.e., muscle aches and pains). High dilutions, such as 30X or 30C, will relieve general symptoms—more than one symptom in more than one location with possible behavioral or emotional symptoms (i.e., a very high fever and chills, accompanied by agitation or sleeplessness). If a person has the right medicine, no matter what the dilution, he will see a lessening of symptoms. For most medicines, choosing the right dilution is merely fine tuning. It may be helpful for you to use the Boiron Medicine Finder at www.BoironUSA.com to decide which medicines/dilutions are best to relieve your symptoms.
Thank you.

Question 2

Is it same as 200C?

Accepted Answer

No, 30c and 200c are definitely not the same!  200c is a stronger potency.

Question 3

Can this be used to relieve skin itching due to leg cast?

Accepted Answer

Staphysagria is indicated for itching of surgical wounds, not general itching skin. Urtica urens 6C may help.

Question 4

What is the shelf life of these? Thank you

Accepted Answer

I've been using homeopathics for 40 years and they do not expire. Some manufacturers don't include an expiration date because of this. I've never had a bottle go bad, but as with anything, if you see mold or dark spots discard.
