Electrohomeopathy, or EH, is practically a new therapeutic system. The founder of EH was the Italian scholar Count Cesare Mattei (1809–1896). Dissatisfied with modern medical practice, as well as influenced by the works of Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, Mattei wanted to explore new avenues in medicine.
Dr. Count Mattei had a dog. Once the dog fell ill with a chronic disease. The dog ate a special plant in the garden of his house. Mattei also observed that the dog was rubbing its wound on the leaves of the same plant. To his surprise, Mattei observed the dog for a few days and found that the dog’s illness and wounds had completely healed. He then experimented with the plant that the dog had ingested and discovered a class of drugs for both external and internal use, which he then named “antiques”. This was the first method of drug discovery in electrohomeopathy. In 1865, after years of experiments, he finally introduced a new therapeutic method, which he called electrohomeopathy, and in 1869 his first publication was published in Germany. By 1887, he had successfully discovered a total of thirty-eight drugs.
Paracelsus of Switzerland can be considered as the father of a new path in medicine. Mattei borrowed from Paracelsus the process of making medicines from plants, extracting their essences, and combining them to form a complex pharmaceutical unit, as he himself believed that the complex human body required complex medicine to heal. Mattei not only re-invented this art but gave the world much more in a system based on the law of nature, a plant-based medicine in the form of electro-homeopathy. So he created his own remedy using the plant kingdom alone. His message was: return to nature.
Mattei’s medicines always contained complex agents, that is, stable combinations of several specially prepared plants, which he used when certain indications appeared. Mattei distinguished two causes of disease: “infection of the blood” and “infection of the lymph.” Therefore, some such agents in EH restore blood circulation and structure and are used when lymph is impaired. Meanwhile, along with these generic drugs, they added specific drugs for the organs used to heal the individual organs being targeted.
Building on his first drugs, Mattei developed a series in which he grouped drugs by a common basic function. So, adding more and more drugs, he established his own treatment system. Mattei found that some liquid medicines play a special role. Mattei observed an immediate striking effect resembling lightning in some patients after exposure to these factors. Indeed, he assumed that an electromotive force was released upon contact with the surface of the body. This – and the relation of his therapeutic method to homeopathy – led Mattei to name his system Electrohomeopathy (Electro-homeopathy).
In 1869, the first publication on EH was published in Germany. In the years that followed, Mattei wrote several books in Italian, which were translated into several languages with the help of Theodore Krause. Thus, it became possible to spread EH far beyond the borders of Europe. Mattei’s work was continued by Theodor Krause (1864–1924), who became acquainted with Mattei, translated and published several of Mattei’s books, and wrote his own papers on E.H. With Mattei’s death, he gradually took over command of the EH in Germany.
Based on his experience, Krause developed the EH. In these contexts, he and his colleagues adapted the drugs’ composition and added additional drugs. The quality of medicines in the field of prescribed therapeutic methods is ensured through the registration of standard production processes. Legally they are known as complex homeopathic medicines. Even today, the raw materials used are strictly only of plant origin. As far as possible, it is obtained from organic farming.
Laws of EH
Hyperactivity of an organ is considered a positive disease. Hypokinesia of a limb is regarded as a negative disease. To return to neutral, one must treat a super-activity with a negative dose (low dose) and a sub-activity with a positive dose (stronger dose). In conclusion, the four laws regarding this treatment are summarized below:
Law of Similars: Restoring the natural mode of action can only be done by removing the element that caused the malfunction, using a similar element. Law of Complex Medicines: Treating a disease with a complex number of symptoms requires the combined action of several plants (“complexcomplexiscuratur”). Law of Minimum Dose: A disease which causes many disorders in the organism requires a minimum dose. It should be borne in mind that the weaker the action, the more intense the reaction. Law of Polarization: The body is divided into negative, positive and neutral sections.
