Classical Homeopathy

Homeopathy is the original, traditional use of a single homeopathy remedy at a time, according to the 'Laws of Similars' as developed by German physician, Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843). A 'Complete Medicinal Art' internationally practiced for over 200 years following 6 editions of The Organon of Medicinal Art.

The term 'Classical' homeopathy was first used by Prof. George Vithoulkas, Greece, in the 1960's to differentiate Hahnemann's System of Medicine from other therapies using combined homeopathy remedies.

Homoeopathic Recognition, India April, 1937 : Because of its popularity, there had been demand for a long time for recognition of Homoeopathy as a system of Medicine. Resolutions passed and forwarded to the State Governments of India.   Central Council of Homoeopathy, India <www.cchindia.com/homoeopathy.htm>

Natural Direction of Healing - (Herings' Law)

1. Healing progresses from the deepest part of the organism - the mental and emotional levels and the vital organs - to the external parts, outward - toward the skin, extremities.
2. As healing progresses, symptoms disappear in the reverse of their original chronological order of appearance. Homeopaths have consistently observed that their clients re-experience symptoms from past conditions.
3. Healing progresses from the UPPER to the LOWER parts of the body. For instance, a person is considered to be on the mend if arthritic pain in his neck has decreased although he now feeling pain in the finger joints. Skin conditions start to heal from forehead, face, downward direction to the torso to the extremities.
