What does it take to be a homeopathic physician? Hahnemann tells us in Aphorism 83 of the Organon of Medicine. Let's take a look at this brief yet thorough description of what the practitioner must possess to examine a case of disease.
 
Aphorism 83
 
"This individualizing examination of a case of disease, for which I shall only give in this place general directions, of which the practitioner will bear in mind only what is applicable for each individual case, demands of the physician nothing but freedom from prejudice and sound senses, attention in observing and fidelity in tracing the picture of disease."
 
Let's break down what Hahnemann is really saying here. In the individual examination of disease, he is not talking about disease as a whole but in each and every individual case. There are no two cases ever the same. Some are alike but they are individual to each person. He is saying that we must examine each case individually.

In my recent articles I spoke about the definition of health from Dr Samuel Hahnemann’s view point and the action of the homeopathic remedy on the ‘life force’. It is good to review our belief’s at the beginning of the year and adjust them where it is not serving us well. New Year’s Resolutions are all about that good and bad. In this article I will look at some of our own self defeating behaviours that need correcting before a well placed homeopathic remedy can work at all. 
Aphorism 208
The age of the patient, his mode of living and diet, his occupation, his domestic position, his social relation and so forth, must next be taken into consideration, in order to ascertain whether these things have tended to increase his malady, or in how far they may favour or hinder the treatment. In like manner the state of his disposition and mind must be attended to, to learn whether that presents any obstacles to the treatment, or requires to be directed encouraged or modified.

Samuel Hahnemann says the life force is not designed to deal with disease. Its role is to operate and maintain the physical instrument in an optimal state, not to deal with disease threats.
 
Organon Introduction: The life force, that glorious power innate in the human being, was ordained to conduct life in the most perfect way during its health. The life force, which is equally present in all parts of the organism (in the sensible as well as the irritable fibre) is the untiring mainspring of all normal natural bodily functions. It was not at all created for the purpose of helping itself in diseases nor for exercising a medical art worthy of imitation. No!

​The Organon of the Medical Art written by Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843) is a creative document that applies to today’s health and well-being as it did in his lifetime. This article will cover the meaning he gave to the ‘spiritual vital force’. This vital force dominates and controls the body it occupies.
 
There is the common assumption that the physical body is primary and its existence, and that of the brain, is what brings about consciousness. Hahnemann’s model is the exact opposite. According to him, it is not just that the body, itself, is an inactive “instrument” as he calls it, he calls it “living, healthy instrument”, but that the “spirit-like life force” is totally in charge, then we have a completely different view of reality. He refers to the life force as an “autocracy”, the dictionary defining the word as “absolute power, totalitarianism, dictatorship, …”

World Homeopathy Awareness Week is celebrated from the 10th-16th April annually. Organised by the World Homeopathy Awareness Organisation, the week is a celebration of both homeopaths and those who have been healed with homeopathy. The primary goals of World Homeopathy Awareness Week are to raise public awareness of homoeopathy and improve accessibility to homeopathy.
