This chapter emphasizes that true medicine is one unified science, built on eternal and unchanging laws of nature. Just like physics or mathematics, the fundamental truths of medicine don’t change over time—they are discovered, not invented. Although modern medicine appears divided into many branches and systems, all of these must be united under one universal … Read more
Homoeopathy is based on how nature works. According to science, nature follows certain fixed, unchanging laws. Everything happens in an orderly way — causes lead to effects, actions lead to reactions, and everything is connected. Nothing happens randomly. All things are in constant motion, changing forms but never getting destroyed. Matter and energy cannot be … Read more
In this chapter, Roberts delves into sycosis, one of the three primary chronic miasms in homœopathy, identifying it as the result of suppressed gonorrhœal infection rather than gonorrhœa itself. He clarifies that gonorrhœa is an acute infection caused by gonococci, which, when naturally resolved, leaves no deeper taint. However, when the acute condition is suppressed … Read more
Chapter XXXV explores the relationship between modern medications—especially synthetic drugs—and the fundamental principles of homœopathy, emphasizing the timeless nature of homœopathic laws amid evolving therapeutic fashions. The chapter begins by affirming that homœopathic principles, developed through rigorous experimentation and observation, remain constant and unchanging regardless of trends in medicine. While medical science has advanced in … Read more
To successfully practice medicine, a physician must first understand what illnesses are curable by medicine and what therapeutic powers drugs possess. This foundational knowledge is built upon centuries of careful observation and experimentation, particularly through the rigorous testing of drugs on healthy human beings—a process known as proving. Homœopathy stands apart because it is founded … Read more
In homeopathy, constitution refers to the innate physical and mental makeup of an individual. It encompasses hereditary traits, body structure, functional abilities, metabolic activity, reactions to stimuli, and resistance to infections. The term originates from the Latin word “constituere”, meaning to establish, set up, or make up. Understanding a person’s constitution is crucial for homeopathic … Read more
Homoeopathy, unlike the old school of medicine (Allopathy), is based on fixed principles and natural laws. Before Hahnemann, medicine relied heavily on mere experience and opinions without any solid foundation, and even today, conventional medicine accepts that no true principles guide its practice. Allopathy deals only with the visible effects of disease—changes in tissues and … Read more
In §36–42 of the Organon of Medicine, Samuel Hahnemann explains a very important philosophical concept — what happens when two dissimilar diseases meet in the human body. This topic is extremely important for BHMS exams, viva, and understanding why homoeopathy follows the law of similars instead of treating with dissimilar (allopathic) medicines. According to Hahnemann, … Read more
In the footnote to §7, Hahnemann emphasizes that a truly intelligent physician must first seek to remove any obvious exciting or maintaining causes (causa occasionalis) of an ailment. Often, when such external causes are eliminated, the patient recovers spontaneously without needing further treatment. These states of disturbance are called indispositions, not true diseases. For instance, … Read more
In this profound lecture, Hahnemann and his followers delve into the metaphysical and dynamic foundation of health, disease, and cure — the concept of the “Simple Substance.” Everything in the universe, from the grossest matter to the most refined spirit, originates from a Supreme Creative Power. This Power, perfect and all-wise, does nothing without a … Read more
