Under the tongue or swallow?

There is a unsubstantiated argument around that people should follow certain rules with the remedy once they get it to their mouth. Many advise letting it dissolve under the tongue like a slow-release medication. 

All such recommendations are not based on anything more than personal beliefs, suspicions, and superstitions based on using traditional medicines. If the remedy has no physical substance in it, then what is dissolving under the tongue is just sugar. The rule of specific handling here serves only to create a sense of awe in the practitioner for their “specific” knowledge of the fine points of homeopathy and therefore their mastery in the overall aspects of the art.
