Causticum - The Riddle Unravelled

For the first time, intensive research work in a chemical-physical laboratory has succeeded, in a process lasting two years, in analyzing the exact composition of Hahnemann's Causticum preparation and in developing, through serial investigations, a pharmacopoeia-compliant GMP procedure.

This film tells the story of that archaeological research journey, conveying the composition transparently and authentically. In its significance, this represents a novum in the pharmacological basic research on homeopathy.

When the result was first presented and published in 2019, the all-encompassing events of the Covid-19 pandemic threatened to push this work into oblivion as well. The Constantin Hering Foundation wishes to counteract this with this film.

We hope you enjoy watching it and look forward to a lively discussion.
