Organs and plants
Compiled by Richard L. Farr
The method of Eclectic Specific Medication was
developed by John Milton Scudder, M.D. in the early 1870's and became the
dominant approach to therapeutics by the Eclectic School of Medicine until the
disappearance of Eclecticism from the medical scene in the 1940's. Eclectic
Specific Medication is based upon the elective affinity (tropism) of medicinal
substances for specific tissues and organs. In addition to knowing which
tissues and organs a particular herb has an elective affinity for, it is also
necessary to know:
a) the specific symptoms of
the tissue/organ calling for a particular herb
b) the specific symptoms of
the individual's systemic reaction to imbalance of the tissue/organ involved.
Merely diagnosing the presence of a particular
disease will not be sufficient to select the specific herbal medicine needed
for the case:
HOW the individual is expressing their reaction
to that disease condition via their own unique specific symptoms, is the key to
selecting the herbal corrective remedy (or remedies) needed by that individual
at that particular stage of their imbalance. This was the method worked out by
Dr. Scudder and his associates, such as John King, Finley Ellingwood, H.T.
Webster, John Uri Lloyd, Eli Jones, and other investigators. Practical
application of this method enabled the Eclectic School of Medicine to achieve
highly successful results both in acute cases and in conditions of chronic
ill-health. The following is a listing of the organ affinities of the botanical
remedies thus precisioned by the Eclectic Specific Medicationists.
Miasm_ Tissue:
* Psora; Flesh and blood vessels
* Syphilis: Bone and cartilages
* Sycosis: Nerves
