For the ideal cure we should decide the proper potency for the case. We have to stream line our patients and see who requires LM potency. As similarity is a must for cure, in the same way selection of potency and repetition is also must. To avoid aggravation medicine should be administered at longer intervals. Medicine should be applied as and only when necessary in order to fulfill our mission.
