N44: The How and What of Prescribing a Homeopathic Remedy

When prescribing a homeopathic remedy aphorisms 1, 6 and 153 are important to remember.  Prescribing as unprejudiced and open to understanding the patient and the remedy that both share a similar experience, source, rare and peculiar.  No matter whether you are looking for the characteristics of the case, the keynote, and or the source words or characteristics of the substance, in the end it must be the rare, unusual and very peculiar that leads the homeopath and the prescriber to the Similimum – best indicated remedy for the totality of symptoms before you. Question for today – What is ‘experience’ in comparison with ‘feeling’?
