The basic idea of constitutional medication goes back to ancient times. These experiences were integrated in the western world and in modern times supplemented by new knowledge. Our constitutional medicine has roots in the unique and brilliant idea of "Miasmatic Theories" of Hahnemann and the other famous doctors. We have worked since on 1950 theoretical and practical aspects of constitutional homoeopathic medicine for children.
In a randomized double-blind cross-over study the effects of antihypertensive pharmacotherapy were compared with those of homeopathic treatment in 10 patients with essential hypertension. The conclusions are: 1. The blood pressure lowering effect under pharmacotherapy is clearly superior to that under homeotherapy, where it was negligible and statistically not significant. 2. As far as improvement of subjective complaints of the patients is concerned there was no superiority of pharmacotherapy over homeopathic treatment. 3. The cross-over design appears less suitable than, perhaps, a design with parallel treatment groups because of the long duration of such a study and the observed carry-over effect.
