Trituration
Trituratio (also: Trituration , abbreviated as Trit. ) [Lat. to medium lat .; to Latin tritus abraded ; zu terre rub ] is a term from medicine and pharmacy and means trituration or trituration . Occasionally one speaks of pulverizing , powdering or threshing . The term is still in use in English . Solid, insoluble medicinal substances are finely ground into a powder with milk sugar in a grinding bowl.
Triturations are no longer produced industrially today. The homeopath Willibald Gawlik therefore recommends doctors who still want to prescribe trituration to write tablets in the same dosage on the prescription and add the note “fac triturationem” for the pharmacy . The tablets are then powdered and diluted to trituratio.
In homeopathy , trituration (there also hand trituration ) is a common practice. The starting material for the medicinal product is rubbed in with 9 times (D potency) or 99 times the amount (C potency) of lactose for one hour in precisely prescribed steps. Dilutions , Q-potencies or tablets can then be made from these trituations .
