Dr. C. Hering’s Law of Cure states:
“All cure starts from within out, from the head down and in reverse order as the symptoms have appeared or been suppressed.”
This action means that vital organs will heal first and less vital organs after. Some past symptoms may appear before the patient recovers. As an example, the skin is the least important organ and if that’s where the pathology is presented, it will be the last to show an improvement in the case.
Adapting what is curative in medicines to what is diseased in patients requires that the physician be able to:
- Adapt the most appropriate medicine, according to its mode of action, to the case before him (selection of the remedy, that which is indicated),
- Prepare the medicine exactly as required,
- Give the medicine in the exact amount required (the right dose),
- Properly time the repetition of the doses.
Finally, the Homeopath must know the obstacles to recovery in each case and be aware of how to clear them away so that the restoration of health may be permanent. By obstacles he meant things like hygiene which includes food we consume, how we manage our stress, exercise, sleep patterns/habits to name a few.
Homeopathy / Homeopathic Order of Healing
Dr. Hahnemann describes the primary method of cure as the process of giving a patient a remedy that produces a similar (but artificial and stronger) disease state in the body that essentially overtakes the actual disease. This means the initial action of a remedy. He talks about how the actual disease goes away leaving the vital force to rally against the artificial disease which he called the ‘secondary’ or ‘counter action’. If the correct remedy is given, we could see a slight aggravation and then relief in the patient. The effects of the remedy will wear off and the patient will be free of the dis’ease and be healthy again. It is also possible to get relief of symptoms without aggravation whereby “the life force appears to strive to assert its superiority by extinguishing the alteration produced in itself (by the medicine), in place of which it reinstates its norm (after-action, curative-action)
