Dr. Hahnemann clearly separates “surgical diseases” from those curable by pure homeopathic (dynamic) means. His key points are: 1.

Dr. Hahnemann clearly separates “surgical diseases” from those curable by pure homeopathic (dynamic) means. His key points are:
1. Classification of Diseases (Organon §7-footnote; §§13, 29)
– He divides all maladies into:
a) Reluctance (slight, self-limiting disorders)
b) Surgical diseases (purely mechanical lesions)
c) Dynamic diseases (acute & chronic miasmatic conditions).
– Only the last group falls wholly within homeopathy’s curative scope.
2. Surgical Diseases Require Mechanical Aid (Organon §§13 & 29)
– “Pure surgical diseases” (fractures, lacerations, abscesses needing incision, dislocations, amputations, etc.) are not dynamic in origin but result from external trauma or tissue discontinuity.
– Such cases “do not belong to the province of the physician” acting by dynamic law, but to that of the surgeon, and must be treated by mechanical or operative means alone.
3. Homeopathy’s Role Is Ancillary
– Hahnemann allows homeopathic remedies only as palliatives or adjuvants: to alleviate pain, control inflammation and support reparative processes after proper mechanical intervention.
– Common choices include Arnica montana for traumatic bruising/pain, Calendula for wound antisepsis and Silicea or Hepar sulphuris for sluggish or suppurating ulcers.
4. Physician’s Duty
See less– The homeopath must recognize when surgical aid is indispensable, refer or co-manage appropriately, and limit remedy use to what assists the “vis medicatrix naturae” post-surgery rather than attempting to replace it.
