Introduction
"Electro Homoeopathy" medical system of treatment was invented by "Count Ceasre Mattei" of Bologna, Italy in 1865. Count was a rich landlord of Italy and during war he donated his lands to Pope Pious IX for the benefit of the people, for which Pope graced him with the title of Count. He was also made a Lt. General in the army. Later on, Count Mattei was elected as a Member of Parliament. But since he was not keen in politics, he resigned and came back to Bologna. He had a great leaning towards medicine and being a big landlord he was to keen to keep the farmers and other people working under him hale and hearty.
Under the influence of his friend "Paulo Costa" he started studying various branches of medicine. He studied Allopathy and Homoeopathy but somehow he was not satisfied. Then he studied the works of great scientist and philosopher of the 16th century "Paracelsus" (1493-1541) of Switzerland. He was greatly impressed by the theories propounded by Paracelsus, which were:
(1) Law of presence of Electricity in Vegetable Kingdom.
(2) Law of Similarity.
(3) Law of Polarity.
Electro-homeopathy is derived from the word
“homeopathy,” which is a system for disease treatment where a patient is
given very small doses of natural medications that in bigger doses
would result to symptoms similar to those of the disease itself. The
name “electro-homeopathy” is obviously a combination of the word
‘electro’ (pertaining to a content of electric bio-energy that is
extracted from plants). Electro-homeopathy is defined by some
complementary medicine sources as the use of any electrical device in
combination with homeopathy. However, others contend electro-homeopathy
as a therapeutic utilization of homeopathic preparations of specific
bio-energy herbs. It is known to be different from the national
homeopathy, which relies on consecutive diluted medications or remedies
of various substances that bring about like symptoms. On the other hand,
electro-homeopathy does not live by the “law of similars.” but they are
the similar because of the fact that the scientific and medical
community regards both homeopathy and electro-homeopath generally as
quackery or pseudoscience.
The medical practice of electro-homeopathy is a healing art simply through the use of herbs alone. It was formulated by grafen ceasre mattei (known also as count ceasre mattei), an italian who was bestowed a count by pope pius ix because of his impressive healing remedies. Mattei was influenced by spagyrism and homeopathy practices and started treating his patients through his creation of a medicine with a one-of-a-kind process of “cohobation”. and after 30 years of devoted experimentations with spagyric medicine, he eventually coined a new idea of health and disease. He then introduced his latest invention in the year 1865. Although homeopathy and electro-homeopathy are being compared, they have a lot of differences. First of all, hahnemann, the man who discovered homeopathy, tried his remedies’ effect on healthy men and then observed the effects afterwards. On the other hand, mattei believed that the only path to medical power and knowledge is to try a remedy on a sick person and observe the effects it has on a person, which is exactly what he did. Plus, mattei does not recommend subdivision of the remedies, dynamization to create real effects to be exact. Hahnemann wanted the exact opposite.
