Abstract

The first part of this article discussed the history of the Doctrine of Signatures. Bach developed a series of Flower Remedies for emotional states. On the basis of the Doctrine of Signatures, these can liberate the vital force from an alien disease process or ‘archeus’. An understanding of the role of the active principle of a homeopathic medicine, in the physiology of its source, may aid understanding of a curative action.
