Ep 432: From Hahnemann to Lippe to Saine - Keeping Hahnemann's Homeopathy alive with Andre Saine

In this episode, I’m joined by homeopath and author Andre Saine and his longtime collaborator Ralf Jeutter for a wide-ranging conversation on the foundations and practice of homeopathy. Andre shares how he first discovered homeopathy during chiropractic school and the early case that convinced him of its power. We talk about the discipline required to practice classical homeopathy and why returning to the teachings of Hahnemann and Lippe still matters today. A large part of the discussion focuses on their ongoing Materia Medica Pura Project, including why revisiting lesser-known remedies and provings is so important for modern clinical work.
