Heilkunst was the term used by the German medical reformer, Dr. Samuel Friedrich Hahnemann (1755-1843), for the complete healing system that he created based on natural law. “Heilkunst” is a German word that translates as “the art of making whole” or “the art of healing.”
Dr. Hahnemann’s full system, as set out in his extended Organon of Heilkunst, uses:
Regimen: the realm of lifestyle, which includes diet, exercise, nutrition, sleep, hydration, and relaxation, and it sometimes uses the Law of Opposites to correct imbalances.
Medicine: the realm of disease proper, which employs the natural Law of Similars using dynamic or energetic remedies to remove disease (called cure), and
Therapeutic Education: corrects false beliefs about oneself and the world.
