Classical Homeopathic philosophy revolves around the following principles: 1) The Law of Similars: “Any substance which can produce a totality of symptoms in a healthy human being, can cure that totality of symptoms in a sick human being”. The knowledge of which remedy to prescribe for a patient comes from
an understanding of what are called “provings”. Provings
occur when groups of healthy people, under double-blind conditions,
take remedies and keep meticulous diaries over following days, weeks
and months, noting down accurately all the resulting symptoms. These
can be physical or mental/emotional. All these symptoms (both objective
and subjective) are collated and written up in a book called a Materia
Medica. Homeopaths, through many years’ extensive study,
have a good working knowledge of what is contained in a Materia
Medica. Therefore, when sick people present at the Clinic and
their signs and symptoms are taken down, the “Simillimum” or
similar remedy which closely matches the current symptom picture
is selected. |
