Pflanzen comparison ethanolic tincture and trituration
of fresh plant material.

All insoluble materials (gold and silver) are triturated in a base/vehicle
of saccharum lactis. Saccharum laetis is a disaccharide and is obtained from
skimmed goats milk
which has undergone extensive refining and filtration procedures.
Saccahrum lactis is a milky white crystalline powder that is odourless,
sweet to taste, insoluble in alcohol and soluble in water. (Bannerjee, 1987:
54-55.)
Trituration involves grinding the base substance with saccharum lactis,
in 1:10 or 1:99 proportion.
The saccharum lactis is divided into three equal portions by weight.
One third of the saccharum lactis is incorporated into a mortar with the
base substance.
The mixture is ground in a uniform circular manner for six minutes. The
mixture is then scraped from the mortar for three minutes and then stirred for
one.
These steps are then repeated.
Another third of the saccharum lactis is added and the above mentioned
process repeated.
The last third is added and the grinding repeated.
This then forms the first dilution.
The next dilution is made using one-tenth or one-hundredth of the first
dilution with nine or ninety-nine parts of saccharum lactis. (Banerjee, 1987:
55-57.)
Each triturated dilution involves a 1 hour interaction between medicine
and vehicle, where both are subjected to intense mechanical and energy factors.
This enhances the dynamization so that all of the natural constituents
are included in the final product, whereas ethanol only extracts the soluble
components.
(Dellmour, 1994.)
Hahnemann in the 1st edition of Chronic Disease compared
medicines made from solutions and triturations, and stated his preference for
trituration.
In the same concentration and with the same number of potentizing
stages, the trituration-based medicine proved more powerful. (Dellmour, 1994.)
He stated that plant material should be triturated with Saccharum lactis
3 distinct times before potentising the medicine in an ethanolic solution
(Boericke, 1994:288-290).
Dellmour investigated work by Madaus, who provided evidence that
triturated medicines contained practically all the constituents of fresh plants,
whereas tinctures
suffered serious losses due to the selective nature of ethanolic
extraction (Siehe unten)
Madaus asserted that triturated medicines had a better shelf life than
ethanolic medicines.
