Homeopathic Philosophy

5)   The Law of Cure When treating an individual, the Homeopath observes that the symptoms will always move from: 

(a) the vital organs to the less vital organs
(b) from within, outwards
(c) from above, downwards
(d) in reverse order of appearance

Asthma usually follows eczema which has been suppressed by ointments of various kinds. In treating an asthmatic, the Law of Cure would be seen to be in action when the symptoms move from the lungs to the skin (ie from a vital organ to a less vital organ; from within, outward, and in the reverse order of appearance). Eventually, as the Vital Force is strengthened by continuing Homeopathic treatment, the eczema will move down the trunk and onto the extremities before disappearing.

Ultimately, however, the tendency in individuals towards certain types of diseases rests with the genetic inheritance. Hahnemann demonstrated that he truly was a man of great insight when he touched on this aspect in his Theory of Miasms; a theory arrived at when it was observed that some sort of innate obstacle to sure persisted in spite of accurate prescribing. Such innate obstacles to cure due to genetic inheritance are treated with special medicines called Nosodes.

According to the WHO Homeopathy is, after Traditional Chinese Medicine, the second most widely-used medicine in the world. It is practiced on every continent and has enjoyed over 200 years of continuous use. In Australia, a practitioner registered with AROH (Australian Register of Homeopaths), will provide safe and competent treatment as registration is only attained after study at a Registered Training Organisation which teaches curricula that is based on the government-endorsed National Competency Standards.

The professional organisation to which most registered homeopaths in Australia belong is the Australian Homoeopathic Association (AHA).
