Hering's Law of
Cure
|
How to tell if you are really healing or if symptoms are just being suppressed.
Constantine Hering was born on
January 1, 1800, in Oschatz,
Germany and later emigrated to America.

He is
considered to be one of the founders of homeopathy in America, if not the
"Father of American Homeopathy." Hering authored the classic:
"The Guiding Symptoms of our Materia Medica."
|
Hering observed that symptoms
re-surface as part of the curative process, and that the healing process occurs
in a specific order, which is now known as "Hering's Law of Cure."
The following "Law of
Cure" is applicable to all forms of healing (western or other) except
certain instantaneous energetic forms of spontaneous cure.
Dr. Constantine Hering, a homeopath,
observed:
1. Symptoms heal from the deepest
(most limiting) level to the most superficial. This means often from the mental
into the emotional and finally into the physical, although it can also be
simultaneous on two or more levels.
2. Symptoms resolve in the
reverse order that they came: the most recent going away first.
3. Symptoms should improve from
above downwards.
4. Symptoms heal from the most
important organ to the least important organ (i.e. generally from the heart to
the skin which is the most superficial organ).
5. Symptoms improve from the
center of the body to the periphery (hands and feet).
And I also add: Any and all
discharges after a natural remedy or treatment, including skin eruptions, show
the body is throwing off toxins. That is a good sign. Even with allergies which
are really another way the body is saying: "This is bad for me, I need to
get it out whatever way that I can!"
