Polarity Analysis is a result of a tedious search for a better way to match the characteristic patient symptoms with the “genius” symptoms of Homoeopathic remedies thereby improving the reliability of prescriptions.

The method leads to an efficient and reproducible choice of remedy and increases the precision of prescriptions as compared to a conventional homeopathic procedure.

Dr. Heiner Frei (Switzerland), after having served for several years as a Senior Physician in the Pediatric Hematology and Oncology Department at the University Children’s Hospital of Bern., decided to concentrate on his huge pediatric practice in 1987. In 2001, he realized the immense potential that lay in the latent concept of polarities of drugs and thus after further modifications based on Boenninghausen’s Concept of Contraindications developed- Polarity Analysis, a tool aimed at ensuring greater precision in Homoeopathic prescriptions.

The Concept of Contraindications is a lesser-known literary gem contributed to the Homoeopathic literature by Dr. Boenninghhausen. It states that almost every Homoeopathic medicine includes a number of Polar Symptoms, which also encompass their opposite, e.g. Desire to move/Aversion to move, Thirst/Thirstlessness, etc. Any remedy may thus exhibit both poles though in varying intensity and grades.
