The question has been asked "Can Homoeopathy be dangerous?". Homoeopathy is an extremely safe healing art when the practitioner is well trained. Homoeopathy is only dangerous when the cardinal principles which Samuel Hahnemann integrated into Homoeopathy are ignored. The cardinal principles are similars cure similars, the single remedy, the minimal dose, and the potentized remedy. These four principles form the checks and balances which make Homoeopathy a safe and effective healing art. When the cardinal principles and methodology of The Organon of the Healing Arts are carefully learned they provide the foundation of a safe, rapid and gentle cure.
On this solid basis a homoeopath learns how to avoid and manage the potential side-effects encountered during the process of healing. For this reason it is important to learn proper case management procedures. One of the most important areas of study is the nature of various remedy reactions and their causes. If this basic material is understood, Homoeopathy is extremely safe when compared with other systems. If, however, homoeopathic remedies are used without an understanding of the basic principles and methodology of Homoeopathy they have the potential to be dangerous. Homoeopathy provides its own safety net which can not be found in other systems which use homoeopathic potencies in unhomoeopathic ways.
Its most important point is to understand homoeopathic posology and methodology very well. This avoids most of the potential trouble and offers effective counter measures for those negative situations which may arise. In order to offer some light on this subject, we offer the following material for study which reviews the safety factors integrated into Homoeopathy by Samuel Hahnemann.
