In contrast to the approach of conventional Western medicine, which attempts to suppress symptoms, the German doctor Samuel Hahnemann discovered that he could stimulate his patients 'healing by giving them extremely small doses of particular substances. He explained this system of medicine in Organon of Medicine, which is his definitive description of the principles of homeopathy. His discovery is equally valid today and people still benefit from it when they are treated for the diseases afflicting our modern civilization. This is the single most important book ever on homeopathy, and is essential reading for all students of homeopathy.

This new version of Hahnemann's Organon has been acclaimed by homeopaths worldwide. O'Reilly and Decker have accomplished the feat to remain faithful to Hahnemann's thought while producing an edition that is more accessible to contemporary readers. The Organon's structure has changed to a more user friendly format; from paragraphs to chapters and sections. Sidenotes, footnotes and glossary are invaluable to come closer to understand Hahnemann's tought and its meanings. Finally, the addition of an index offer readers the possibility to use the Organon as a reference work.
