Constance Hering was a homeopathic physician who made three observations based on his treatment of thousands of people with Hahnemann’s homeopathic remedies and principles.


Symptoms move from above to below.
(Particularly with superficial symptoms regarding the skin, muscles or joints)

This means, homeopathically, that if you suppress a skin condition by the use of cortisone creams or liniments, the ailment will “go deeper” and present at a later date with asthma or heart disease in susceptible persons. It also can be taken to mean that if a problem manifests on the mental level and is not satisfactorily resolved, it can progress to a physical ailment years later.

Symptoms move from within to without.
(From the organs or deeper tissue to the surface).

Healing in a Homeopathic way will often bring out toxins to the skin (which is the body’s largest & most sensitive organ). Homeopathically, it is better to have a skin rash than an unseen tumor as the skin is the outer most layer, which can be shed.

Old symptoms return in reverse order.

Some conditions have taken a long time to get to. In order to achieve wellness, a homeopathic treatment will treat through the “layers” of disease or ill-health. If symptoms have been suppressed by various medications or substances, then for some people these will return. This is a good sign, commonly referred to as the “Healing Crisis”. It means you are returning to a state of wellness. Even if the symptoms are uncomfortable, generally they are not as severe as the original and usually resolve quickly.
