What is a Homeopathic Healing Reaction?
The Healing Reaction
Healing, which is part of a deeply curative process, involves the re-establishing of balance once a cure has taken place. You get sick in a specific order in space and time and nature heals in the reverse order of the disease process.
Hering’s Law of Cure states that you cure diseases in the following order:
The direction of the change in symptoms is important. It will help the physician determine if a true healing process is underway, or if the symptoms are simply being palliated (temporarily suppressed).
Healing Reaction
You may experience a healing reaction after taking a deep-acting homeopathic remedy given to cure a chronic disease. As a result, you may notice a change in your symptoms according to the natural direction of healing.
Initially, there should be an improvement or sense of well-being at the mental/emotional level.
Changes you may notice are:
Then about 10-14 days after taking the remedy, you may experience a temporary worsening of your situation, usually physical. Old symptoms may also return.
Think of healing as spring cleaning. A lot of old stuff that has accumulated over time must be cleared out. Most of this elimination takes place at the physical level in the form of congestion, various discharges, skin reactions, aches and pains.
Normally, the healing reaction lasts about 1-3 days. Then you will return to the improved state experienced just before the healing reaction.
The Direction of a True Healing Process
A true natural healing process for any disease should follow this pattern:
A Journey of Self-discovery
Healing is a long process that takes us back on a journey through time. Along the way, old wounds that create blockages to the healing power of our life energy are removed.
As a result, we gain freedom from our disease (s), and have a greater understanding of ourselves. This process also makes it easier to choose healthier life styles.
Symptoms indicate that something is wrong, in other words that we need to change our way of living, whether in terms of diet, work, interests or relationships. Drugs only suppress the symptoms so that we can ignore the message which can only lead to more illness. When we have few physical symptoms but generally feel worse mentally and emotionally, this is an indication that a disease is going deeper.

Hering’s Law of Cure states that you cure diseases in the following order:
- from the mental/emotional level to the physical level
- from the deeper organs to the more superficial
- from above downwards (eg., rash)
- in the reverse order of the original occurrence of the various diseases.

A true natural healing process for any disease should follow this pattern:
- From above downward - since our mental/emotional state is more important than our physical state, we should experience an improvement at the mental/emotional level first. Any physical reaction should to move down the body (from head to toe).
- From inside outward - deeper disease states has a more serious affect on the internal organs. Since the skin is the most superficial organ, any skin problems which appears or worsens temporarily is a good sign, it means that the deeper disturbance is being forced out.
- In the reverse order of time - you may temporarily experience a return of old symptoms, when you are treated for any blockages or inherited weaknesses. Old disease states, or rather their symptoms, will return indicating internal healing/repair process.

Health is more than an absence of physical symptoms. Being healthy means that we are free to pursue our dreams, desires and interests, in other words to become more fully who we are. Health is a balance within, a harmony at all levels of our being.
