Editorial policy

Last updated: 4 November 2026 · Applies to: every lesson, card, question and store page of Similia Homeopathy Academy

What the course teaches

Similia Homeopathy Academy teaches homeopathy as its classical texts and practitioners hold it: Hahnemann’s Organon and his other works, the materia medica of his successors, and the history of how homeopaths observed, recorded and shared what they knew. It teaches the tradition from within, in its own terms, in short lessons.

Who says so

Every statement says who holds it, in its own words: “Hahnemann wrote…”, “Boericke lists…”, “the Organon says…”. For example: Hahnemann called the principle of similars a law of nature (Organon §26). The course’s own voice adds no claims of its own.

Where homeopaths disagreed among themselves, as Kent and Hughes did, the course gives both sides, each in its author’s name, and leaves the verdict to the reader.

Sources

• Every line has a source. Behind each card and question, our records hold the work it comes from: the author, the work, the edition or translator, and the paragraph or page.
• Quotations come from public-domain editions and are kept short.
• Facts about law and practice, such as who may practise homeopathy in a country, are given as dated facts, with the date they were checked, and checked again before each release.

What the lessons never do

• They never tell anyone to take, prepare or give anything. The lessons on potency scales are dilution arithmetic only.
• They never ask about your health, or anyone else’s. The app has no symptom checker, case entry or remedy finder. You answer by choosing from the options shown, or, in a few recall questions, by typing a word or a number the lesson taught.
• They never suggest anything for a real person.
• Every person in a story is fictional, and is labelled “Fictional learning case”.

How a lesson is checked

Before a lesson is published, someone other than its author reviews it: that every statement is attributed, that its source says what the lesson says, and that its facts are right. A lesson that fails goes back to its author and is reviewed again.

Who is responsible

SIMILIA LTD publishes the course and holds editorial responsibility for everything in it.

Corrections

If you find a mistake, a misattribution or a source we have wrong, write to academy@similia.io. We check every report against the source, and a correction reaches the app in its next update. Please don’t send details about anyone’s health: we don’t keep them.
