Organon der Heilkunst (Organon of the Healing Art), Samuel Hahnemann's 1810 primary text, is homeopathy's founding statement, setting out Hahnemann's law of similars and his dilution and potentization method. Its strength is that it is the primary founding text itself, in the founder's own words, confirmed against the documented publication history of its later revised editions. Its limit is that it is a founder's own theoretical statement, not independent scientific evaluation, which should be checked against clinical research assessing homeopathy's claims.
