Signes, symboles et symptômes

According to the teaching of Hahnemann, the Homeopathy Practice is based on the strict use of the simple remedies administered as monotherapy according to the law of similars. The idea of the similar remedy requires an experience, the proving, causing new and unusual symptoms in healthy subjects. Homeopathy theoretically excludes the doctrine of signatures and the principle of symbolic analogical medicine of the past. Hahnemann claimed to disregard Paracelsus. Hahnemann proposed in his early works and his Organon a rigorous method that ignored the analogical theory. However, it is necessary to reflect on the practice of homeopaths, as it is in reality rather than as they would like it to be. This present work is an attempt to show that searching for a symbolic specificity of a remedy is not necessarily contradictory with homeopathy.
