From the First to the Sixth Edition of the Organon – Part 1

Summary

Between the first and the sixth edition of the Organon, Hahnemann introduced the concepts of the Vital Force and of chronic diseases. This in one way, merely philosophically, substantially changed the homeopathic model, but in another more practical way, did not drastically change the way in which homeopathy has to be applied. This article explains how that is possible.

Key words
