What is a Classical Homeopath?
A classical homeopath follows the principles of classical homeopathy. Classical homeopathy is based on the principles of the founder of homeopathy, Samuel Hahnemann. There are four principles that classical homeopathy follows. They are:
- The Law of Similars or “like cures like.” This is the principle that a substance that can make a healthy person sick can also make a sick person well, if they are suffering from a similar type illness.
- The Law of Minimum Dose – This is the principle that the minimum dose of medicine be given that will initiate a healing response in the body.
- Totality of Symptoms – this means that when diagnosing a person a classical homeopath will look at the whole person. They will look at mental, physical and emotional symptoms.
- The Principle of Single Remedy – this means that only one type of homeopathic medicine is given to a patient at one time.
What is a Practical Homeopathy?
Practical homeopathy focuses on the symptoms of a person. There are certain remedies are known to help particular symptoms, in a majority of people. most of the time. These remedies, often known as poly-crest remedies are frequently used first in practical homeopathy if I person is presenting the particular symptom that that remedy is known for. With practical homeopathy several people presenting the same symptoms could be given the same remedy. Whereas, with Classical homeopathy these same people might all be prescribed different remedies. Protocols are often used in practical homeopathy as well.
