The centesimal scale was favored by Hahnemann for most of his life.

If there is still some latent state it will flare up after a dose in the centesimal potency.

This can be contrasted with the centesimal scale where we may have to wait a fairly long time to ascertain the action of the remedy.

These days we tend to regard the size of a dose of a centesimal remedy as irrelevant.

Now we have this highly dynamized remedy our criteria for how to use them are different from those of the centesimal scale.

In practise, however, some patients may need the qualities of the centesimal remedies to awaken their self healing process.

In this way one goes up the scale gradually instead of in leaps as in the centesimal scale.

The potencies work most often without aggravation but with the same curative effects as centesimal potencies.

Hahnemann created the "centesimal" or "C scale", diluting a substance by a factor of 100 at each stage.

Øre, the centesimal subdivision of the Norwegian and Danish krones.

All remedies are prepared by trituration up to 3C potency in the centesimal scale, so the original material is diluted one part to a million.

Hahnemann, early in his career, used low potencies, but later was aware of and used centesimal high potencies.

On the subject of repetition of a centesimal dose of the same potency Hahnemann shows an important change of mind between the 2 editions.

If a patient is currently on centesimal potencies there is no difficulty in introducing the same or different remedies in the LM scale.

Control of the dosage is very similar to the centesimal 'plussing' technique but using the LM granule, instead of a 30c, dissolved in liquid.

I hope that my further work and the work of others around the world will help to clarify the advantages of the fifty millesimal potencies over the centesimal potencies.

It contrasts so vividly with the centesimal system where the remedy may well be given as a single dose and even when several doses are taken is usually stopped at the first sign of improvement.

Lastly Hahnemann paves the way for the final step, into his most perfect method, with a famous paragraph concerning the number of succussions given to the vial when preparing centesimal remedies.

This obviously isn't to say that the same response would not have been achieved with a centesimal potency, it merely demonstrates the applicability of LM's in an acute and the simplicity of repetition.
