International Journal of Homoeopathic Sciences

Abstract: Homoeopathic cure is based on law of similars. The process of competitive enzyme inhibition through which diseases are treated in Modern medicine also applies the principle of similars. But the explanation of how the homoeopathic cure takes place is philosophical, whereas that of competitive inhibition is scientific. By drawing a parallel between these two processes, the purpose is to formulate a proposition whether the homoeopathic cure could possibly be due to the competitive inhibition between the disease and medicinal forces. It also shows that the application of law of similars is not limited to Homoeopathy and dynamic plane.
