Polarity Analysis™ Homeopathy

What is Homeopathy?
Homeopathy is a 200 year old system of medicine that is rooted in the work of the German physician Dr. Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843). Hahnemann was a trained conventional physician, a competent chemist, a good mineralogist and botanist, and an able translator of eight different languages. His discovery that individuals with certain diseases could be cured with substances (plant, mineral, or animal) that produce similar symptoms, became known as the Law of Similars.

Classic Homeopaths believe a person can only have one dis-ease and the collection of symptoms experienced all come from one root imbalance. The advantage of Homeopathic medicine over Allopathic treatment is that the selected remedy is based on the entirety of symptoms making it a highly individualized approach.

Further information about Homeopathy can be found at the National Center for Homeopathy website.

What is Polarity Analysis?
Polarity Analysis (PA) is a modern method of remedy selection developed through the clinical studies of Dr. Heiner Frei, Switzerland. PA has gained a tremendous following in Germany and Western Europe in the past five years.

Polarity Analysis is a development of Boenninghausen’s Concept of Contraindications. It serves to determine in individual disease a healing probability for each Homeopathic medicine in question. The method leads to an efficient and reproducible choice of remedy and increases the precision of prescriptions as compared to a conventional Homeopathic procedure. Polarity Analysis is based on the revised edition of Boenninghausen’s Therapeutic Pocketbook, an exceedingly reliable repertory, and is generally practiced with computer software.

A further description of the method can be found directly on Dr. Frei’s website.

Why I use Polarity Analysis
I discovered Polarity Analysis in the early days of my Homeopathic practice and was fortunate to train and be mentored by Dr. Frei directly. It was the precision and predictable results that have kept me using this method daily in my practice. PA is the method I use to select Homeopathic remedies in my practice.
