Quantum physics is shedding some light on possible explanations for this phenomenon, as is nanotechnology (see the two-part article “Homeopathy: a 200-year-old nanomedicine” by Shelly Epstein, DVM, CVH and Iris Bell, MD in the Summer and Fall 2013 issues of IVC Journal), and clinical experience confirms this law. A 6c potency is diluted 1:100 six times and succussed each time the much more potent 200c is diluted 1:100 a total of 200 times with succussions. The Law of Dilution/Potentization states that repeated dilutions and succussions (forceable mixing) of remedies results in a greater strength of effect. This direction of cure is universal, and happens regardless of the type of medicine doing the curing.ģ. For the eye, a cure would move from a cataract to an ocular discharge. This translates to symptoms moving from more vital to less vital organs, from the interior to exterior of the body (think skin), and from the top down (or head to tail in animals) as healing occurs. All cure starts from within and moves out, from the head down, and in reverse order as the symptoms appeared, or were suppressed. Hering’s Law states that disease tends to develop in a certain direction, and leave in the opposite direction.

Opposing symptoms or surgery often lead to suppression, forcing the natural disease deeper into the body.Ģ. Symptoms are the body’s attempt to restore homeostasis, or balance, and the correct homeopathic remedy supports this process, rather than opposing it. For example, the watery nasal and ocular discharge of hay fever or a cold may respond well to Allium cepa, a remedy made from onions, because sliced raw onions cause similar symptoms (it may help any individual with watery ocular discharge).Īnother good example is parvo virus in puppies, with its characteristic nausea, vomiting, and foul liquid diarrhea, often helped by Arsenicum album, which causes the same syndrome in healthy individuals. The Law of Similars states that any substance that produces symptoms in a healthy individual can cure the same symptoms in disease. Three basic laws undergird all of homeopathy:ġ. Homeopaths study the same textbooks used over 200 years ago, and practice according to the same principles outlined by the old masters of this healing art. Homeopathic treatment is based on true natural laws of healing, which do not change over time.

Let’s consider how homeopathy is useful in treating some of the most common eye disorders seen in practice today, after this quick overview of homeopathy basics. Eye disorders are a regular part of veterinary practice, and homeopaths treat eye symptoms as part of the individual’s total symptom picture, or totality. Eyes are also a window to the outside environment, and crucial to most animal species. One can gauge an individual’s health with a thorough gaze into this amazing organ. We say the eyes are the window to the soul. Homeopathy has shown to be useful for treating some of the most common eye disorders and injuries seen in practice today.
