Hering's Law of Cure
Hering's law of cure is the basis of all healing in Homeopathy.
It demonstrates how the body can heal itself given the right
circumstances. The theory is that as we go through life we
will accumulate toxins, and when that toxic load gets too
big a burden, we develop health problems. Rather than catch
diseases, we create our own by breaking down our natural defences.
This happens when we eat and drink the wrong things, live
an unhealthy life style or have a negative frame of mind causing
stress or metal confusion. Following this law would help the
body to eliminate toxins daily.
To break it down into segments,
•
"We heal from the head down".
This means that before one can begin the healing process,
one must have a belief that they can in fact heal as the power
of thought can be a very powerful tool-many people who have
survived cancer have done so by having a positive attitude.
If one gives up mentally and resigns this can have a profound
affect on the healing capability of the body.
•
"We heal from within out".
In order for the healing process to be successful, toxins
must be allowed to leave the body naturally and should not
be suppressed. Most over the counter commercial medicines
will prevent this by alleviating the symptoms and not addressing
the root cause. Discharges from the body such as perspiration
and mucous are the body's elimination routes. By falsely lowering
the body temperature with over the counter drugs, or repressing
the mucous membranes with decongestants one is preventing
the body from using its natural healing process. The consequences
of this is that the germs, viruses or toxins that may be present
will not leave the body, and may in fact go deeper into the
body causing weaknesses in other areas.
•
"We heal in reverse order as the symptoms have appeared
or been suppressed".
This means that the last symptom that was apparent in a previous
infection will be the first one a body will deal with when
it is in the reversal process. As an example, if one had a
cold and used a suppressive medicine to deal with the coughing,
running nose and sneezing, then the toxins would still be
within the body. The only way for the body to heal itself
would be for it to eliminate the toxins that were repressed
at this time. There are several ways that the body could do
this by stimulating the immune system to create a fever to
burn the toxins out:
Through the lungs or bronchioles. This would cause a lot
of phlegm to be produced.
Through the skin, causing breakouts and rashes.
Through the colon, eliminating mucous old faeces and stale
food not properly digested.
These are just a few examples of how the body can heal itself
in this manner.
Many people can have a cumulative affect of toxins within
the body that they have suppressed over a long time by long
term use of analgesics, or stimulants such as coffee, cigarettes
or recreational drugs. The long term effects of this can cause
an inherent fatigue, so in affect the body is running on empty.
When a person is in this state, it may only take a very minor
health problem to cause a serious affect.
Hering's law is homeopathic. It is not recognised by the orthodox
medical industry, non alternative medicine tends to focus
on dealing with the symptoms of disease rather than finding
the root causes and treating the body in a holistic manner.
