Erfahrungen mit weniger bekannten und neuen Mitteln der Phytotherapie und Homöopathie

Abstract: According to the trend, articles about herbal and homeopathic drugs have been published in numerous medical journals during the last years. These publications hardly present anything new to the therapeutist who is experienced in these fields, because in addition to basic explanations especially those things are presented, which are considered to be assured.In this article we want to present experience, which is hardly known or which is not known at all, or which differs from well-known facts. As the experience is only derived from observations made at an individual practice, it can obviously not be "assured". Nevertheless, the publication is justified to the extent, that even well assured findings are based on initial observations, which have caused further research.The things we report in this article have to be understood as ideas for further investigations.When some phytotherapeutists think, that they have to distance themselves from homeopathy because of its reputation with respect to its scientific character, it is nevertheless impossible to draw a clear dividing line between these two therapeutic procedures, as far as homeopathy uses drugs of herbal origin. The potentiation, which marks the reversal effect which is typical for homeopathy, is very variable. Even the rule of Arndt-Schulz is not specific about it.
