Hello,
Hydrotherapy, massage, exercise and nutrition are all discussed in
Samuel Hahnemann's wittings! The Organon of the Healing Art includes much
more than just oral remedies. This includes the use of water cure, massage,
magnets, galvanism, homeopathic psychology and Mesmerism cum hypnosis.
Hahnemann and the first generation were much more open to the greater field
of healing arts than many of today's practitioners. Some like to call
everything but the oral dose suppression. This was not the opinion of
Hahnemann or Hering as well as others. In the Preface to the ten volumes of
Hering’s Guiding Symptoms, Constantine Hering makes it extremely clear that
the early homœopaths were on the cutting edge of many fields of the healing
arts.
"All the so-called dynamics have been omitted. Thus the various
applications of heat and cold, the water treatment, the two electricities,
light and the use of colors, especially the indispensable blue light,
magnetism (the work of many years of our master), the contact of metals
(lately taken up again by the Old School), the highly valuable mesmerism,
and the movement cure; not as if one could be a physician without them, but
because they ought to be treated of in a separate work."
Guiding Symptoms of our Materia Medica; C. Hering, Volume I, Preface.
The first generation of the Homoeopaths were a very progressive group.
I have read letters where Hahnemann suggested remedies, gymnastics, and
Mesmerism to his patient. This is a homoeopathic list we should we object
to the discussion of methods that Hahnemann wrote about in the Organon and
his writings?
Sincerely, David Little
