Is the single remedy principle foundational to homeopathy—or simply one prescribing style among many?
Claims that Hahnemann supported the use of multiple remedies often point to a brief period of experimentation in 1833. But what happens when you follow the historical record beyond that moment?
In this episode, Denise and Alastair go back to the primary sources: Hahnemann’s correspondence with Boenninghausen, Aegidi’s reported 233 cases, the 5th and 6th editions of the Organon, and Aphorism 273. They trace the chronology, examine the arguments being made today, and ask a bigger question: if the single remedy is removed as a principle, is it still homeopathy?
