The Single Remedy (you've read these pages before - just excerpting)

excerpt

The third cornerstone of homœopathy is the use of

a single remedy at any one time. In inviting a

healing response, it can be confusing to the

body, with unpredictable results, to invite

several responses simultaneously. Although some

practitioners have deviated on this point and use

combinations of remedies, Hahnemann abandoned

this approach after experimenting with it himself.

Single remedy

Although there are three laws of homeopathy, this

is more of a tenet of scientific integrity which

then allows you to say classical homeopathy. By

choosing to give only one remedy at a time, it is

sure that you know what results it will have. By

combining several therapies or remedies at one

time, not only are you not sure which one of the

substances is causing a cure, but you are unable

to determine if there is a drug interaction which

helps cure or even worse, an effect as a result

of the two working against the patient.

The principle of the single remedy states that a

single medicine should cover all the symptoms the

patient is experiencing: mental, emotional, and

physical. A classical homeopath would not

prescribe one medicine for a headache and another

for an upset stomach, he or she would find a

single medicine that covered both symptoms.
