That which Constantine Hering described in 1865 in an article in the Hahnemannian Monthly with the title “Hahnemann’s Three Rules Concerning the Rank of Symptoms” is now known simply as Hering’s Law.¹⁴ This is the essence of it:

NOTE

THE CHARACTERISTIC SYMPTOMS THAT, IN THE COURSE OF THE ILLNESS, WERE THE LAST TO APPEAR TAKE PRIORITY WHEN DETERMINING THE REMEDY.

“Suppose a patient had experienced the symptoms he suffers in the order a, b, c, d, e, then they ought to leave him, if the cure is to be perfect and permanent, in the order e, d, c, b, a. The latest symptoms have thus the highest rank in deciding the choice of remedy.”

From this he drew the conclusion that the most recent symptoms of the patient should take priority when determining the remedy, since these should be the first to disappear.

Hering’s Law is important because it often enables us to solve cases with a multitude of symptoms where it is difficult to obtain a good overview – by directing us to concentrate on only the most recent characteristic symptoms when choosing the remedy. With a remedy chosen in this way, old symptoms usually improve too. As soon as multiple complaints exist together, it is important to know when each one began.
