In § 3 of the Organon, Hahnemann states: the first step is “to perceive what is to
be cured in every individual case”. This means we have to find the leitmotiv running
through the story - to understand the “Gestalt” of the disease. Thus the analysis
begins first with the physical complaints and when going deeper the physical pathology
has to be reflected through the sensations and functions of the patient. But there
is no general rule about how to approach every individual case since individuality
means every case is different and has to be approached differently. In the following
case the physical pathology, the sensations and functions were on the same level so
that the remedy could be chosen just from one rubric.
