Full source note…
Sepia officinalis. Cuttle Fish. N. O. Cephalopoda. Trituration of dried liquid contained in the ink-bag. [I have found a preparation made from the fresh ink-bag, given to me by Dr. Swallow, of Ningpo, in every way superior to the official preparation, which I now rarely use. The provings and recorded cures were, however, made with the dried ink preparations.] ClarkeAbout the family
Cephalopoda…
Cephalopoda is not a family but a class of molluscs, comprising octopuses, squids, cuttlefish and nautiluses — marine animals with tentacles and, in most, an internal or external shell. In homeopathy its best-known member is Sepia officinalis, the common cuttlefish, whose ink sac provides the remedy Sepia.Dose1X · Twelfth, 30th and 200th potency. Should not be used too low or be repeated too frequently. On the other hand Dr. Jousset's unique experience is that is should be continued for some time in strong doses. 1x twice a day. · Boericke ⓘ
