Being of a visual mind and liking maps in
general, I have often thought of putting
remedy relationships into graphical form.
Here’s the result. It’s not exhaustive, but
representative of most of the relationships
I could find from the literature below.
I would like to thank Bernie Smyth and
Mike Bridger for being my first inspiration
on this topic!
There are many additional complementary remedy
relationships, remedies that follow well etc. but in the
interests of clarity Figure 1 is restricted to common
acute-chronic relationships only. An arrow on Figure 1
stops at the next remedy.
Series and triads are in Figure 2. Where these
overlap with Figure 1 they have been omitted from it
as it became too complex and the series nature became
lost. Following the arrows to their natural conclusion
gives us the extent of the triad or series of four. Figure
2 also shows some well-known alternating remedies.
