Hahnemann's Organon of Medicine - Aphorism 21

[Ardavan Shahrdar]

Hahnemann's Organon of Medicine
*******************************

Aphorism 21:

'Now, as it is undeniable that the curative principle
in medicines is not in itself perceptible, and as in
pure experiments with medicines conducted by the most
accurate observers, nothing can be observed that can
constitute them medicines or remedies except that
power of causing distinct alterations in the state of
health of the human body, and particularly in that of
the healthy individual, and of exciting in him various
definite morbid symptoms; so it follows that when
medicines act as remedies, they can only bring their
curative property into play by means of this their
power of altering man’s state of health by the
production of peculiar symptoms; and that, therefore,
we have only to rely on the morbid phenomena which the
medicines produce in the healthy body as the sole
possible revelation of their in-dwelling curative
power, in order to learn what disease-producing power,
and at the same time what disease-curing power, each
individual medicine possesses.'
