After six years of conducting provings
on many different substances, Hahnemann had accumulated a
great deal of information about their effects. From this
careful research and the “drug pictures” he had compiled,
Hahnemann embarked on the next stages of his work, which was
to test each substance on the sick to see whether they
benefited or not. Before he began his tests, he gave each
patient a physical examination and questioned them thoroughly
about their symptoms, what factors made them better or worse,
their general health, the way they lived and their outlook on
life. By taking note of all these details Hahnemann was able
to build up a “symptoms picture” of each patient. He would
then match an individual’s symptoms picture to the drug
picture of the various substances. Only when he had
established the closest match would he prescribe a remedy. He
found that the closer the match, the more successful the
treatment. |
