Important safety & dosing notes (read first):

Common practical rule: 30C is frequently used for many acute family complaints (repeat every few hours while rapidly improving). 200C used less often (single dose or repeat after days) for stronger/immediate states; chronic/constitutional work needs practitioner guidance. These are traditional rules of thumb — individual dosing varies.
