Another unsubstantiated argument that is floating around is given credence by a pharmaceutical firm that makes a top for their remedy bottles that allows a person to dial up to three pills and then pop them in their mouth without touching them. People have variously said something about altering the energy of the remedy or contaminating the remedy’s power.
Again, this has never been a problem in the last few hundred years as practitioners handed pills over to their patients or dispensed powder with fingers and various tools. Cleanliness is certainly an issue of hygiene. But until recently the physician’s touch has not been an issue. It has only raised when the addition of magical laws of posology creates an aura of increased expertise for the practitioner and higher esteem in the patient’s eyes. The practitioner is always on the lookout for ways to improve the effectiveness of their remedies and some have added spurious rules like this to make up for proper prescribing.
