HAHNEMANN AND HOMOEOPATHY



So, Hahnemann said that drugs manifest no other curative power except their tendency to produce morbid symptoms in the healthy persons and remove them from the sick. Provings of drug actions on healthy persons have, therefore, given the world an exact law, and have enabled humanity to assess the true value of a drug and give the drug a place it only deserves, that could not be obtained by experiments of drugs in vitro.

Whatever, and however exhaustive the data one may obtain from experiments of drugs on animals, these cannot give one the comprehensive knowledge of the drug – actions in its fullness, for such experiments always fail to appraise us of the drug – actions on the consciousness or mind, which are of great importance.
