HOMOEOPATHIC LAW OF NATURE
OR
OR
The weaker dynamic affection is permanently extinguished in the living organism by a stronger, if latter (whilst differing in kind) is very similar to former in its manifestations”.
§ 26
To understand this we will have to understand Nature’s Law first.
Here Dr. Hahnemann is talking about how cure can take place naturally.
Criteria are as follows:
They should be Dynamic affections
They both should be similar in their manifestations.
But they should differ in kind.
The later one should be stronger than the former one.
If all the criteria are fulfilled then the stronger dynamic affection which has come later will remove the weaker dynamic affection which was already existing in the body permanently & hence cure will take place.
They both have to be dynamic. If the later one is not of dynamic
origin then it cannot remove the former one in any way.
Also, it should be similar in manifestation i.e. it should produce similar symptoms. If it is non- similar in origin then it will not be able to bring out any cure.
To explain this Dr. Hahnemann gives an example in foot note 14 (§ 26).
“…….The offensive smell can be extinguished by snuff which affects the olfactory nerve in a similar but stronger manner! No music, no sugared cake, which act on the nerves of the other senses, can cure the olfactory disgust”.
THE SORROW OF A MAN DUE TO THE DEATH OF THE NEIGHBOUR IS REMOVED IF HE LOSES HIS MORE CLOSE RELATIVES, EG FATHER,BROTHER,SON ETC.
NATURE’S LAW IS ALSO APPLICABLE IN THE MORAL PLANE OF HUMAN BEING:-
The later dynamic affection has to be stronger than the former one otherwise it will not be able to show it’s manifestation.
Let us discuss another example given by Dr. Hahnemann to explain this.
The pitiful cries of the wounded soldier cannot be heard in the battlefield due to the loud sound of the drums.
PHYSICAL ASPECTS
Now lets see how we can apply the same law in curing the disease.
Suppose the person is suffering from one disease & later he gets affected by a similar disease which is stronger. Then the weaker disease will get removed permanently.
E.g. If a person suffering from small pox gets infected by measles, the measles will remove the small pox permanently.

How does it happen?
The organism as the living individuality can neither receive two similar dynamic affections at the same time nor it can react to them simultaneously. It has to choose one or the other. So it chooses the one which is stronger of the two in affecting the vital principles.
If it is so, then why can’t we really cure all the diseases?
There are very few diseases which are similar in manifestations. So it is not applicable to all diseases. It is possible only in a few cases of similar diseases.
It is highly coincidental that both are similar in kind & both meet in the individual at the same time.
Even though they may meet in an individual simultaneously the later one should be stronger than the former one.
The later disease might remove the former disease but that disease can be more dangerous than the former one.
There is no control in our hand, regarding any thing.
We have to just wait & watch.
The physician has no role to play in it.
From the above limitations, we come to know that it is very coincidental & conditional for cure to occur naturally.
So where is such other force to be found which is similar & stronger?
Dr Hahnemann found such sources which are capable of dynamically deranging the living organism in those substances which are termed as MEDICINES.
Whenever we give medicine to the individual, it creates an artificial disease in side the body.
The medicines which we give are chosen on the basis of the symptom similarity.
So it produces a similar disease in the body.
So now the only question remaining is that: Is this artificial disease stronger than the natural disease?
Dr. Hahnemann says YES for the following reasons:
Diseases are cured & overcome by suitable medicines.
The susceptibility of the living organism for natural disease is comparatively less than that for medicinal diseases.
So this similar & stronger artificial disease removes the weaker natural disease permanently.
Now the Vital Force is free from the Natural disease. The renewed energy of the Vital Force is then capable of overcoming the artificial disease.
Hence the Vital Force is free from both Natural as well as Artificial disease.
Hence the person gets cured.
ADVANTAGES
Unlike Natural diseases, the medicines acts all the times, under all circumstances on every living body & excite in it the symptoms peculiar to it, so that evidently every living human organism must always invariably be affected by medicinal disease (§ 32).
The total control is in our hand.
We can increase or decrease the potency of the medicines.
We can change the medicines as per need.
We can also antidote the unnecessary aggravations.
Hence artificial diseases are always unconditional
