This subject provides the foundational underpinning of the history of complementary medicine, the evolution of homeopathy and its fundamental laws and principles. Students critically evaluate the homeopathic concepts of health and disease, homeopathic proving, constitution, diathesis and miasms. The foundation in case taking and case analysis using simple repertorial matrices is applied to the study of acute first-aid clinical situations and to recognise the need for referral in chronic/constitutional treatment.
