Dr Maby James <\/strong><\/p>\n INTRODUCTION: Dr. Hahnemann says in the Organon of Medicine \u201cTherefore, we have only to rely on the morbid phenomena which the medicines produce in the healthy body as the sole possible revelation of their in dwelling curative power\u201d.<\/p>\n While translating \u201cA TREATISE ON MATERIA MEDICA\u201d by WILLIAM CULLEN<\/em>, Dr. Samuel Hahnemann was not happy with the sentence that Cinchona Bark cures Malaria because of its bitter property. Hahnemann having this idea in mind he began his exploration by his simple and rational experiment with Cinchona bark in 1970;<\/p>\n NEW BEGINNING In medical record he found the poisonous effect of Arnica – Nausea, Uneasiness, Headache, Oppression of Stomach, Empty Eructation, Cutting in Bowels. During that period in Autumn Season \u2013an Epidemic Dysentery started, which presented the symptoms of Arnica. So, he tested the therapeutic effect of Arnica. He gave 4 to 14 grains of Arnica according to the age of the patient. Arnica proves itself specific and cures the disease without the aid of any other medicine.<\/p>\n Another patient came with symptoms of anxious feeling on the stomach region, tightness of chest to complete loss of breath, suffocation of larynx (swallowing solid liquid difficult) and symptoms like hopeless, suicidal thought tremors till 10 o clock. When he falls to sleep all the symptoms disappear. In this case \u2013he recalls from the record book- the effect of veratrum in case of poisoning. So, he gave a few grains of it every morning to cure this complaint at the earliest. Going about this path ahead, he made way making lucky prescription. The symptoms he found from the cases of poisoning were so vague and infinite. He never arrived at a conclusion but was always in doubt. Most of which had been disturbed and deranged by the administrations of equally violent so-called antidotes.<\/p>\n From this, he saw clearly that there was nothing for it but to test each medicine individually on human body. So, Hahnemann decided for proving by inducing a number of medical brethren to join in testing on their healthy bodies. He thought \u2013from a Medical Man arise well known curative tools. Acting of this thought, he wrote some essays in Hufelands journal. No one responded as they were perfectly satisfied with the traditional system. Again and again, Hahnemann appealed to them, again and again did he received the same answer.\u00a0 This very opposition of his colleagues made him more resolute in his determination to carry out the experiments. His only aim was \u2013 Perfect Healing Art.<\/p>\n He had ascertained by experiment on himself, his family and few friends. 1805-He published \u2013positive powers of medicine on human body<\/p>\n So, they all differ among themselves in their medicinal properties.

\n<\/strong>Provings are the pillars upon which Homoeopathic practice stands. Without the accurate proving all prescribing indications are bound to be vague guesses at best and pure fiction at work.<\/p>\n\n
\n<\/strong>Dr. Samuel Hahnemann examined carefully every method that had been proposed for ascertaining the action of drugs. His main aim was to test the medicines singly and alone on the healthy body. He started searching all the medicinal records for 6 years and found the pure action of drug therapeutically and also the hazardous effects as in the accounts of cases of poisoning by various medical substances. He questioned if these accounts of poisonings will suffice to guide him in the selection of the remedies for the disease he encountered with.<\/p>\n\n
