Are homeopathic aggravations real? There’s been a lot of chatter happening online about the reality of homeopathic aggravations—and like any game of telephone, the further you get from the source, the more the message gets distorted. In this episode, Denise Straiges and Alastair Gray go back to the source: Hahnemann’s Organon.
But first, what is an aggravation?
A homeopathic aggravation is a temporary intensification of symptoms that were already present—not something new or returning. Aggravations were the impetus for Hahnemann’s continued work on the refining of potency, posology, and delivery of remedies.
With clarity, context, and more than a few insights from the 5th and 6th editions, Denise and Al explore what an aggravation actually is—and how Hahnemann’s own clinical evolution shaped the way we understand potency, posology, and remedy reactions.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone who wants to practice or understand homeopathy with more depth and discernment.
