Homeopathic Practice & The Power Of Objective Assessment
Homeopathy & You|November 2017

The best thing for homeopathic students and also doctors to do is to go back to the essence, or ‘source,’ of Dr Samuel Hahnemann’s tenets, and use the power of objective observation to revolutionise their homeopathic skills and practice of medicine, in the best manner possible — simply, sensibly, and without rigmarole.

Dr Douglas Falkner
Homeopathic Practice & The Power Of Objective Assessment

For decades, homeopathy has been undergoing a kind of renaissance, whereby homeopathic academicians attempt to bring clarity and order to the complexity of modern-day homeopathy. In an effort to refine and build upon Dr Samuel Hahnemann’s teachings, leaders in homeopathic education are advancing new systems and methods all the time. Such new understandings are quickly making their way into practitioner training programmes as well.

One of the main goals that propel this renaissance of new ideas seems to be to provide a grounding and semblance of order to the ever-expanding pool of information daily entering into the homeopathic databases. Arguably, these innovators and pioneers are attempting to further the scientific basis of homeopathy, with the intent of sharing the benefits resulting from their vision and hard work. But, if you speak with students the world-over, there is widespread concern, as training for years does not often lead to high-level clinical proficiency and consistent results in practice. Their complaint: they still can’t find the simillimum — the most ‘similar’ remedy for the given patient — after many hours and many dollars spent on courses.

It is my contention that superb, high percentage, positive results is, indeed, quite possible, without the need of devising intricate systems, methodologies, and categorisations of our Materia Medica. What is needed for training and eventually mastering homeopathy is not more, but actually less. Filling our minds with copious amounts of information, diverse and extensive strategies in case observation and analysis, and increasing in-depth study of Materia Medica is not, and will not, lead us to the so-called ‘Holy Grail of Homeopathy.’

The Subtleties of Homeopathic Prescribing

Homeopaths often probe into fears and dreams of patients, because these are the areas of least control. The unconscious level of the mind is where homeopaths partake in the big story of humanity as a whole: of the individual’s life, the archetypical initiations, transitions and thresholds shared by all humanity.
