Introduction

Hahnemann said that a patients diet must be regulated and nothing of medicinal nature should be taken while on homeopathic treatment. This belief started directly from Hahnemann. In aphorism 259 ofOrganon of Medicine(2002, p.211), he says: Considering the minuteness of the doses necessary and proper in homoeopathic treatment, we can easily understand that during the treatment everything must be removed from the diet and regimen, which can have any medicinal action, in order that the small dose may not be overwhelmed and extinguished or disturbed by any foreign medicinal irritant.
