Samuel Hahnemann is considered to be the founder of homeopathy. He created a series of aphorism, guidelines to help those practicing and using homeopathy to affect healing. Learn the first 2 aphorisms and what they mean to you.
As my first draft of this article was approaching that of a big novel, I realized I needed to shorten it for an article. I originally intended to discuss 3 of the homeopathic aphorisms in detail—now I will touch on the first and shorten the second to just have the key points. I think you will likely get the idea just the same.

The Homeopathic Aphorisms are guiding principles laid out by the Founder of Homeopathy Dr. Samuel Hahnemann several centuries ago. Dr. Hahnemann was a physician, trained in the medical arts of the time; but when he discovered his patients weren’t actually healing under medical care Authentic Bengals Hoodie , he chose to find something different—he discovered homeopathy. He then assigned guiding principles to this form of healing. This is the first aphorism:
聽
“The high and only mission of a physician is to restore the sick to health, to cure as it is termed.”
聽
We aren’t really taught to think of “cure,”or if we think of cure we see it is as the removal of symptoms, that the symptom is the disease itself. But what is cure really Customized Bengals Jersey , in Hahnemann’s views? Cure is the complete restoration of health; and restoration of health is not only the removal of symptoms but the removal of the ENTIRE disease process.
聽
Not disease management, not remission, not symptom suppression.A complete absence of the disease in its entirety.
聽
The asthmatic would not wheeze or have shortness of breath—not because of taking her meds—but because she no longer has asthma. The man with arthritis wouldn’t have the pain not because he took the pain meds but because the joints were completely healed.
聽
This is cure in the homeopathic sense.
聽
Hahnemann’s second aphorism talks about the best method the physician is to use to provide this “permanent restoration of health:”
聽
“The highest ideal of cure is the rapid, gentle and permanent restoration of health; that is Cheap Bengals Jersey , the lifting and annihilation of the disease in its entire extent in the shortest, most reliable, and least disadvantageous way, according to clearly realized principles.”
聽
The first qualifier is that the cure be rapid Michael Jordan Womens Jersey , meaning moving, acting or improving with great speed. But what is the ideal time-frame for a cure?
聽
Who is to say how long it will take a person to heal as it is very individualized and based on how long a person has had the illness. It is not up to the physician or the person to decide—the body decides. A person with a recent cold will very likely heal faster than someone who has had degenerative arthritis for the past 5 years.
聽
The point is, though, that the cure should be as rapid as possible but always be moving forward.
聽
The second qualifier is gentle. This puts a limit to the first qualifier. It should not be harsh or damaging in any way. Let’s look at an example: suppose you have to travel 100 miles from point A to point B. There are many methods to get there. You can go by foot; it may take 2-3 days and your joints are going to hurt a lot. You can use a bicycle and get there in a day or more; but it won’t be easy physically for most people to cover the distance without some discomfort. A motorcycle or scooter would get you there in a couple of hours and not cost a lot in gas. You can use a car and get there in a couple of hours; but you have the higher cost of the gas which some would see as not gentle. You can rent a helicopter or plane and get there more rapidly but the cost would be high. You can also strap yourself to a rocket and get there in minutes Renell Wren Womens Jersey , but…well, the harm to your body would be extreme to say the least.
聽
So, we see the quickest ways are also the most damaging (to the body or wallet). The slowest method is harmful to the body as well—taxing on the joints. Taking a car is the same speed as the motorcycle but costs more. So it appears the fastest and gentlest method would be the motorcycle or scooter—you can cover the distance in a couple of hours AND it is the most gentle on the wallet.
聽
For healing, if the progress is too slow Ryan Finley Womens Jersey , the person is suffering too long and it is the physician’s responsibility to relieve the suffering. Conversely, if the remedy is causing too much suffering because it isn’t gentle enough, we aren’t doing a service to our patient either.
聽
So for the healing to be ideal there has to be a balance between the rapidity and the gentleness.
聽
The third qualifier is permanent restoration of anent—meaning lasting or forever. So once there is restoration of health, there should be no further symptoms. If it comes back Germaine Pratt Womens Jersey , it is not cure, just symptom suppression or palliation.
聽
But what is permanent? Does it mean once you heal the flu that the person would never get the flu again? Does it mean once the depression is healed that the person will never be sad again?
聽
No.
聽
Even after a person is cured, he may get sick with something again. However, it usually is resolved rapidly and without further complication.
