The four elements are actually qualities that constitutes every substance or spirit in every substance or organism.

Elements and pathology

The four kingdoms

Four kingdoms

The human being is made of four kingdoms

The source of our remedies is made from the four kingdoms

`

Why do we need the “kingdoms” approach?

MATERIA MEDICA

Better undersanding the essence or kind of information - imprinted in remedies

from different sources.

In order to study the essence or “basic delusion ”of remedies from different kingdoms, we must learn about the nature or the characteristics of each kingdom.

Differential diagnosis between remedies

For an example there should be a different kind

of “information” in Nat-m. which is composed of

only two elements, in comparison with Sepia.

which is an animal and consists of many

elements organs and systems.

REPERTORY

BETTER UNDERSTANDING THE MEANING OF EACH REMEDY WHICH IS INCLUDED IN THE SAME RUBRIC

The ability to understand the fundamental differences between the kingdoms would enable us to understand better the reasons for the different remedies to be included in the one rubric. We would discuss later the rubric: antagonism with herself and the remedies Aur., Kali-c., Anac., Lac-c, and Sep. which are all included.

ANALYSIS OF THE CASE

A. Location of pathology:

The kingdoms approach is helpful not only in understanding better the difference between remedies, but also the location and the nature of the pathology of the organism (body and mind).

B. The kind of pathology

During the process of proving we are able to observe in what way each substance or each remedy affects every kingdom of the prover. So, a mineral would stimulate the vital force to create symptoms of the four kingdoms but with mineral quality.

For example calc-c got (or produces) symptoms originating of the four kingdoms. But all the symptoms would have the same characteristics of a mineral.

PROVING.

When we study a proving of a remedy we have to

understand the different kingdoms that are affected.

The collection of symptoms that are studied today

are a mixture, and that is why it is difficult to

understand the idea behind it. In fact we have to

classify the collection of symptoms of every remedy to

the different kingdoms that were affected. This would

help to understand the deep nature of the remedy.

HELP IN SELECTING THE RELEVANT SYMPTOMS

While taking the case we get many symptoms. Some of them are relevant and reflect the kind of pathology of the patient, but others are not. Although most of the symptoms that we get from the patient are “true”, many of them are not relevant for the homeopath.

HELP IN SELECTING THE RIGHT POTENCY

Some homeopaths claim that the potency is not so important. They say that as long as the remedy is correct the potency is not important so much. My personal experience is quite different. I have found that giving the right potency is very important in the management of the case. As we go higher with the potency we give a “higher” level of information of the remedy. Understanding the pathology through the kingdoms approach would help in selecting the right potency.

The four kingdoms that consist the human organism

Kingdoms - body structure aspects

Inanimate - minerals, fluids, gases, energy, systems: skeleton, bones, cartilage, tendons, connective tissue.

Plant - skin, mucosa, glands, hair, teeth, nails.systems: digestive, urinary, respiratory, hormonalGynecological

Animal - organs, extremities, joints, nerves .systems: nervous, immune, blood, cardiovascular

Human – vocal cords

Kingdoms - body functions aspects

Inanimate - Consistence, constituents protection, strength, stability, flexibility,

adaptation .Plant - Homeostasis, Autonomic system - nutrition, growth, discharges, production.Animal - Motion, sensing, identifying (self and

stranger.(Human - walking erect, talking .

Example of silicea as a remedy of “mineral pathology”

Glass sensation - “brittle” Fear of penetration (pins) - being broken. Don’t own her left side. Don’t belong (foreign body). Fear, undertake new mission. Fear to speak in public. Unwanted pregnancy. Vaccination agg I.v.f pergonal, after

Silica and Pulsatilla

Sil feels brittle, but Puls feels too flexible.

That’s why it looks similar. But sil. does not have forsaken feeling but a more an

“I don’t belong feeling .”

Every issue could be analyzed by the kingdoms or elements approach.
