The Six Principles of Homeopathy 

1. The Curative Power of Life 

The physician’s highest calling is to cure. All of life has the capacity to heal. Homeopathy accesses the healing powers of substances from the natural world and develops their use as curative medicines. 

2. The Law of Similars

Matching the Medicine to the Patient: Each medicine has a unique and integrated symptom picture. Each patient brings a unique and integrated symptom picture that completely represents their disease state. Homeopathy matches the most similar medicine’s picture to that of the patient in order to act curatively. 

3. Energy Medicine

All of life is energy. Homeopathy recognizes the vital force energy in every organism which keeps the organism functioning properly. If the vital force energy becomes out of balance, disease occurs. Homeopathy restores this balance to the vital force and so allows the organism to function properly again. 

4. Removing Obstacles to Cure

Homeopathy recognizes that healing can be impeded by obstacles such as drugs, diet, stress, and other emotional or physical factors in the environment of the patient. The homeopathic practitioner acts in a non-judgmental and compassionate manner to identify these obstacles and bring them to the patient’s awareness. 

5. Less is More

Homeopathy develops medicines which are reduced in molecular density and potentized energetically over an essentially unlimited range. These two processes occur together such that a more potent medicine is a more dilute medicine. Homeopathy uses the minimum dose needed to restore balance to the vital force. 

6. Treating the Whole Person

Each person is a unique, complete and integrated whole. Homeopathy considers all levels of the person’s being (physical, emotional, mental and spiritual). It honors what is unique and characteristic about each person.
