Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, the founder of homeopathy, believed that the goal of healing should be "rapid, gentle and permanent restoration of health." This means
removing the illness in the safest, quickest way possible.
Homeopathy works on the principle that "like cures like." It also follows a specific pattern of healing, which Dr. Constantine Hering observed over his lifetime. Let's explore these healing patterns:
1. Healing from the Inside Out
As you get better with homeopathy, symptoms tend to move from inside your body to the outside. For example, someone with asthma might develop a skin rash during treatment. This is actually a good sign! As one homeopath explains, "The cure must proceed from centre to circumference."
2. Healing Important Organs First
Your body is wise. When healing, it focuses on the most important parts first:
- Mind
- Brain
- Nervous system
- Internal organs
- Muscles
- Mucous membranes
- Skin
3. Healing from Top to Bottom
Healing often moves from the upper parts of your body to the lower parts. For instance, if you have joint pain, you might notice improvements starting from your shoulders, then moving to your elbows, wrists, and finally your fingers.
4. Healing in Reverse Order
Symptoms often disappear in the opposite order they appeared. If you first had stomach issues, then headaches, then joint pain, healing might start with the joints, then the head, and finally the stomach.
Don't be alarmed if old symptoms briefly return during treatment. As one expert notes, "Homeopaths are pleased when a person informs them that one of their old symptoms has returned. Although these old symptoms may be irritating, ... they are usually only experienced for a short period of time, and when they depart this time the person usually experiences a significantly higher level of health."
Remember, healing is a journey. Your homeopath will carefully track your progress using these principles to ensure you're on the right path to wellness.
