Aspects of heilkunst treatment
Heilkunst was founded on natural laws and developed over 200 years ago by a German physician, Samuel Hahnemann.
Respecting the Hippocratic oath, “Do no harm”, he developed a comprehensive system that fulfills the principles of true and effective medicine:
To accurately identify disease
To develop medicines - remedies - that cure safely
To provide treatment, matching the remedy with the disease
DISEASE IDENTIFICATION
Disease is a dynamic, energetic phenomenon. While we see the physical manifestation in our bodies, the source is not in the material body, but in the life body, which is energetic.
The prevailing medical system describes disease by its physical effect – indigestion means ‘poor digestion’, dementia means ‘loss of reasoning power’ – but provides no understanding of the cause. Thus, it describes conditions and syndromes, but cannot diagnose disease. True diagnosis discloses the cause of disease, and reveals the best treatment.
Heilkunst discerns disease in the life body with two main methods. The physical symptoms of the disease in the patient provide a reflection of disease and are addressed through Homeopathic Treatment. A history of the shocks and traumas of life reveals the likely sources of damage to the life body, which are addressed through Sequential Treatment.
REMEDIES
Remedies are infinitesimally dilute substances applied to annihilate the source of disease. Their preparation increases their therapeutic benefit, while virtually eliminating their harmful ‘side-‘ effects. Historically, remedies were made of natural substances. Today we can also prepare remedies from man-made materials to counteract the harmful effects of environmental toxins and pharmaceutical products, including vaccines.
The method of potentising (or dynamising) results in medicines that are highly effective at the bio-energetic level of the life body and yet are entirely safe. Remedies are safe for pets, children, the elderly and pregnant or nursing women, and do not interact with conventional medicines. They work on the many levels of the person in a gentle, deliberate manner.
The medicines are clinically tested on volunteers and the results of the studies are published in legally recognized compendiums called materia medicas (Latin for medical substances) or pharmacopoeias (pharmaceutical indexes). Canada recognizes the three main homeopathic pharmacopoeias – those of the U.S.A., Germany and France. The manufacture of remedies is regulated by Health Canada and the U.S. Food and Drug Agency (USFDA).
TREATMENT
The law of opposites is applied to lifestyle choices such as nutrition, exercise and sleep habits (known as regimen). The treatment is intended to provide what is lacking or remove what is in excess. The imbalance (as opposed to disease) is corrected by reducing, increasing or modifying a nutrient or practice.
If applied to disease proper, the law of opposites only serves to suppress the symptoms, without curing underlying disease. This is the unwitting effect of many pharmaceuticals - anti-histamines, anti-depressants, anti-inflammatories, antibiotics, antacids, analgesics, anti-psychotics etc. The names of the medication indicate the principle being applied.
The law of similars is the natural law applied in the realm of disease. The principle is to destroy the disease entity through matched resonance, rather like eliminating sound by providing the same vibration in the opposite phase. This is the principle by which Heilkunst matches the remedy to the disease.
RESTORATION OF HEALTH
The system that Hahnemann devised for the restoration of health (Heilkunst) includes three broad areas of remediation.
Therapeutic Regimen is applied to Hygiene, Nutrition, Dormition, Recreation and Hydration. Modifying how we eat, sleep, exercise and control water intake can provide an increased degree of health and love of life.
Therapeutic Medicine is applied to the true disease underlying the symptoms we experience as disease. Homeopathic remedies are applied to acute disease and as an element of treatment of deeper diseases.
Therapeutic Education involves the deeper issue of the soul and spirit, where one can address false beliefs, illusions, delusions and deepest fears. Therapeutic education supports the discovery and incorporation of one’s truth in life.
Dynamic, Energy Medicine
Heilkunst is true causal medicine, in that discerning the cause of the disease or trauma reveals the name of the remedy required to eliminate that disease.
For example:
If you have a headache, the headache is not the disease, but a result of the disease expressing itself in the physical, material body. A painkiller may kill the pain, but will not cure the disease at the causal level.
If a Heilkunst practitioner sees that the headache was caused by heat-stroke, a bump on the head, an emotional shock, or sleep deprivation, the client will be given the remedy that had been proven to cure disease from that particular cause. Once the cause is removed, the symptoms, including the headache, disappear.
Heilkunst is highly effective in many complex, chronic cases. It is able to address multiple causes of a condition by systematically dealing with them, one by one, according to the principles of natural law.
Heilkunst is safe, effective, and comprehensive, and leads to the true restoration of health, or wholeness, at all levels: body, mind, soul and spirit.
