Organon aphorism §155
I say WITHOUT ANY CONSIDERABLE DISTURBANCE. For in the employment of this most appropriate homeopathic remedy it is only the symptoms of the medicine that correspond to the symptoms of the disease that are called into play, the former occupying the place of the latter (weaker) in the organism, I. E., in the sensations of the life principle, and thereby annihilating them by over-powering them; but the other symptoms of the homeopathic medicine, which are often very numerous, being in no way applicable to the case of disease in question, are not called into play at all. The patient, growing hourly better, feels almost nothing of them at all, because the excessively minute dose requisite for homeopathic use is much too weak to produce the other symptoms of the medicine that are not homeopathic to the case, in those parts of the body that are free from disease and consequently can allow only the homeopathic symptoms to act on the parts of the organism that are already most irritated and excited by the similar symptoms of the disease, in order that the sick life principle may react only to a similar but stronger medicinal disease, whereby the original malady is extinguished. ~Show #128
