Hi Arshad,

Potency selection depends upon many factors like sensitivity of the patient, curability of the case, Type of case (acute/chronic), Source of medicine etc. There are no fixed rules for potency selection. It is a matter of case by case analysis. You may find some so-called rules written in some books but you can not be rigid about them. They do not always hold their ground and exceptions to these rules are not rare. A homeopaths school of education, clinical experience, the scales he/she uses etc. also lend an individual touch to the process of remedy selection.

Best wishes,
Dr. B
