Ep 427: Hahnemann vs Kent's Homeopathy - with Dr Ralf Jeutter

Dr. Ralf Jeutter discusses the foundational principles of Hahnemannian homeopathy. He emphasizes the importance of observing patients’ unique experiences and symptoms, rather than categorizing diseases or personalities, highlighting Hahnemann’s focus on phenomenology. Dr. Jeutter also explores common misconceptions in interpreting the Organon, particularly around mental and emotional symptoms, and stresses that remedies should be understood through careful study of provings and original texts. He cautions against oversimplifying remedies into psychological types, which can obscure the depth of each patient’s experience. Throughout the conversation, he encourages a return to the core principles of homeopathy, combining attentive clinical observation with a thorough understanding of the remedies.
