What are   Pentas™  and   TMS   designations in True Botanica products?   The designation Pentas™ signifies that the formulation is a mix of the mother substance and several potencies of this mother substance. The potencies chosen here, D7, D11, D18 and D30 are in specified weight relationships to each other and the mother substance. They represent three energetic levels that harmonize especially well. They are patterned after the working of the life forces evident in the plant world. According to Rudolf Steiner: Mother substances and lower potencies (up to D7) are indicated o         more in acute situations, o        work via the metabolic system and o        influence predominantly the physical and life forces. High potencies (like D30) exert a beneficial influence o        on a spiritual level, o         via the nervous system and o        address more chronic and deep seated causes. The middle potencies (D11 and18) are o        strengthening the rhythmical “in between” area. The final formulation is completely non alcoholic. All potentizing is done solely by hand. The water medium has been additionally enlivened by exposure to the morning and evening sun forces. Mixing of the various components is done with the Swiss Inversina® mixer, in order to achieve an ideal merging of the various individual parts.   --------   The “TMS” designated True Botanica products consist primarily of four potencies of the original substance. These potencies are then combined with natural trace minerals in distilled water. All components are rhythmically mixed for a deeper synergistic effect. The potencies are D7, D11, D18 and D30. They were chosen because they represent three energetic levels that harmonize especially well. They are patterned after the working of the life forces evident in the plant world. According to Rudolf Steiner: Lower potencies (D7) are indicated more o        in acute situations, o        work via the metabolic system and o        influence predominantly the physical and life forces. High potencies (D30) exert a o        beneficial influence on a spiritual level, o        work via the nervous system and o        address more chronic and deep seated causes. The middle potencies (D11 and18) are o        strengthening the rhythmical “in between” area. The potencies are in specific weight relationships to one another. The trace minerals help a deeper penetration of the entire complex into the organism. The final formulation is completely non alcoholic. All potentizing is done solely by hand. The water medium has been additionally enlivened by exposure to the morning and evening sun forces.
