Samuel Hahnemann
The Organon of Homeopathic Medicine is a seminal work in the field of homeopathy, written by the German physician Samuel Hahnemann in 1836. The book is a comprehensive guide to the principles and practice of homeopathy, a system of medicine based on the idea that ''like cures like'' - that a substance that causes symptoms in a healthy person can be used to treat those same symptoms in a sick person. In the Organon, Hahnemann lays out the fundamental principles of homeopathy, including the importance of individualizing treatment based on the patient’s unique symptoms, the use of highly diluted remedies, and the concept of the ''vital force'' - a life force that animates the body and can be disrupted by disease. The book is divided into aphorisms, or short statements, each of which explores a different aspect of homeopathic theory and practice. Hahnemann also includes case studies and practical advice for homeopathic practitioners, as well as critiques of conventional medical practices of his time. The Organon of Homeopathic Medicine is considered a foundational text in the field of homeopathy and continues to be studied and referenced by practitioners and scholars today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
