What does Arsenicum Album 30C mean?
Arsenicum Album is the Latin homeopathic name used for a preparation whose source material is arsenic trioxide. In homeopathic notation, “C” refers to a centesimal dilution scale and “30C” identifies the potency level. Potency is not the same as the number of pills or the number of daily doses. Product quality, the selected potency and repetition all need separate consideration.
