Abstract: Two decades ago, Scholten gave a significant contribution to the development of homeopathy with the understanding of the Homeopathic profile of the elements of the periodic table. According to Scholten, all elements in each horizontal row (series) of the periodic table are characterized by a single common theme. Each series is divided into a maximum of 18 stages, each of it characterized according to their homeopathic profile. Each element of the periodic table is located at the intersection of a row (series) and a column (stage); these two coordinates define the homeopathic characteristics of the correspondent element. Scholten’s element theory has transformed the way homeopaths can access the simillimum for patients. He has created the framework to take homeopaths from a rubric-centred system to a person-centred approach and has opened up a great number of previously inaccessible remedies. Scholten introduced the concept of periodic table themes, and Rajan Sankaran (another prominent homeopath) has deepened the understanding of it; enabling the application of Scholten’s theory to the Sensation method. The current article resumes Scholten theory and Sankaran’s adaptation of it. In addition, two of our cases are presented as examples of how applying the themes of the periodic table, and the sensation method we can with some security reach the patient remedy.Abstract: Two decades ago, Scholten gave a significant contribution to the development of homeopathy with the understanding of the Homeopathic profile of the elements of the periodic table.
