Organon of the Medical Art Paperback – January 1, 2001

If you truly intend to study homeopathy as taught by Samuel Hahnemann all the way up to his death, you'll be well served with this edition. It is well written and researched, and full of insights. Stopping short of the 6th edition of the Organon is like thinking one has the skills to practice any profession with just an associates degree, when a PhD is available.After being taught the flawed wisdom of those who know nothing beyond the 4th edition (which includes the vast majority of homeopaths in the U.S., apparently), this is a marvelous revelation. While other study is certainly warranted (such as good study of material Hahnemann did NOT include in the 6th edition, but did so in his Paris casebooks), this is absolutely essential reading - multiple times over. Some recommend annual reading for review.Well researched, very thoughtfully written, with integrity.

This book is amazing! It is clearly a work of genius! Written in a clear and precise way, explaining the Homeopathic method of treatment and cure. Any student of Homeopathy needs to read it, and any one interested in understanding what Homeopathic medicine is all about, should read it also.It is filled full of insightful observations of the human condition, though interesting it's not a book to be read like a airport novel, but slowly pondering it's content.

This needs to be on the shelf of anyone studying Classical Homeopathy. Hahnemann is known as the "Father of Homeopathy". The problem with current practitioners is that they continually toss the baby out with the bath water, forgetting that Classical Homeopathy is a strict science in and of itself; one doesn't need to add more bells & whistles to what already works...Too many are ill-trained in the basics such as aqueous dosing & succussing before each dose. Hahnemann said the body never wants the same strength dose twice in a row. No wonder so many people scoff at the idea of little sugar pills in a vile; the directions given on the viles are incorrect & the ones telling them how to dose have no clue what they are doing. Reading this book will offer insight in to true classical homeopathy. Follow Hahnemann and you will get better results. Forget the other fluff...(just my take). If your practioner isn't using the 4th, 5th & 6th Organon, run!!! Buy the book, learn a bit & ask questions before deciding on who to use to help with your health..

Helpful explanations of word origins, translation nuances and context that help to understand Hahnemann's seminal work, which forms the basis for homeopathic theory.

This is a text book used for Homeopathy students. Not a light read but a necessity for those learning Homeopathy. It was cheaper from Amazon than from other places I normally buy my books. If you are trying to learn homeopathy on your own this is not a book to do that with. Buy starter books for home use and read the basic philosophy first. Then consider taking a couple classes online. Homeopathy as a profession takes a long time but is fascinating nevertheless.

Obviously, this is where Homeopathy began to be released to the world - when Hahnemann wrote this book. One of our teachers said that the rule is, "for the first 30 years you are a homeopath, you need to read it once a year; after that, read it twice a year." I have read it three times and as my own experience increases I find I get different things out of it with each reading! For safe, no-side-effects healing - people need to realize homeopathy is available!!!I like this version because, especially when I was a beginner, the footnotes helped explain some of the more complex concepts.

I prefer this edition of the Organon over all others I have read. A must read for anyone who wants to understand homeopathy!!
