International Journal of Homoeopathic Sciences

During Hahnemann’s period, pathology was still in its primitive stage. However, through exceptional foresight and careful observation, Hahnemann established Homoeopathy that was far ahead of its contemporary medical systems. The advancement of pathology helped to verify Hahnemann’s perspective of disease, and they harmonize with the modern medicine. Hahnemann detailed various factors as the causes of diseases which correlate with the modern day etiology. He outlined the nature of diseases, their classification and how they transmit from person to person. He illustrated multiple measures for preventing diseases especially epidemics and for maintaining health. He also highlighted the need for auxiliary modes of treatment in cases where medicines alone cannot cure the disease. It is because of this logical analysis of Hahnemann and the fixed cardinal principles that Homoeopathy rests on, the Homoeopathic treatment is tested with time and continue to be effective.
