This chapter highlights the significant role that Homœopathy can play in treating endocrine disorders, which involve dysfunctions of the body’s glands and hormone-producing organs.

While the acute form often resolves on its own, especially if left untreated, the chronic form, if suppressed using injections or medicines like Nitrate of Silver, can … Read more
Paragraph 1:Oliver L. Reiser suggests that to make sense of the vast information in science, we should adopt a phenomenological viewpoint meaning, we should observe and describe things as a whole instead of focusing on tiny parts.

In this lecture, Kent explores the third major duty of a Homoeopathic physician as stated in Organon §146 to use only those medicines whose effects have been clearly proven on healthy individuals and apply them homoeopathically.
