Description
Concomitant symptoms are a pivotal understanding of homeopathic practice. They can greatly aid the practitioner in identifying the Similimum by seeking the totality and peculiarity of the case that is presented. Concomitant symptoms are those symptoms that seemingly have no relation to the leading symptoms or pathology of the case – yet have tremendous value to the homeopathic practitioner.
Boenninghausen is quoted as having said, “The concomitant symptom is to the totality what the condition of aggravation or amelioration is to the single symptom.” Boenninghausen reiterates that concomitant symptoms are simply co-existing symptoms of a disease under consideration but distinguished by a rare peculiarity and can be elevated to the rank of a characteristic symptom.
The three standards for being a characteristic symptom are:
- The characteristic symptom rarely appears in connection with the leading disease and, therefore, is found rarely among remedy provings.
- The characteristic symptom belongs to another sphere of the disease than the chief ailment. In other words, it has no pathological relation to the chief ailment.
- The characteristic symptom demonstrates characteristic signs of a homeopathic remedy, even if not explicitly noted previously in the present case expression.
This course will specifically focus on concomitant symptoms from the mind chapter. Along with an exploration of concomitant symptoms of the mind chapter, this course will also review some lesser known homeopathic remedies including Anantherum, Gnaphalium, Hippomanes, Elaps, Sin-n, Arsenicum hydrogenisatum, Angustura, Xanthoxylum, and Jalapa.
