Homeopathy Organ Affinities
Homeopathy Organ Affinities is a Modern / Alchemical / Homeopathic — organ affinity map body system as transmitted through the lineage Homeopathic repertories organise remedies through symptom and organ rubrics, including historical affinity language. This visual map makes a small set of repertory groupings legible while explicitly separating historical classification from anatomy, pharmacology and evidence-based treatment.. This page lists every point in the system with sourced placements and links to cross-tradition correspondences curated for The Body Spiritual.

Known lineage variants
- Remedy affinities differ between repertories, materia-medica authors and editions. The loci are target-organ projections of substance classifications, not anatomical maps; homeopathy has major efficacy controversy and this system is descriptive rather than therapeutic.

Frequently asked
What is Berberis — kidney affinity?
Homeopathic repertories list Berberis entries under renal and urinary complaints. The kidney anchor is a target-organ projection of repertory language, not evidence of a pharmacological organ action or an anatomical map.
What is Arnica — injury affinity?
Arnica is repertorised for injury and soreness themes in homeopathic literature. The broad body anchor is a target-organ projection of a remedy affinity, not a validated treatment mechanism.
What is Nux vomica — digestion affinity?
Nux vomica appears in repertory rubrics involving digestion and related symptom patterns. The abdominal placement visualises repertory indexing only; it is not an anatomical or efficacy claim.
What is Belladonna — head affinity?
Belladonna is listed in homeopathic repertories for head and fever symptom rubrics. The head anchor reflects a repertory convention and does not establish a therapeutic effect or safe use of belladonna.
What is Sulphur — skin affinity?
Sulphur has extensive skin-related entries in homeopathic repertories. This broad surface projection represents indexing in a historical system, not a validated dermatological treatment map.
What is Phosphorus — lung affinity?
Phosphorus is indexed under respiratory and lung rubrics in homeopathic repertories. The lung-side anchor is a target-organ projection of a historical materia-medica classification, not evidence of efficacy.
What is Gelsemium — nervous affinity?
Gelsemium appears in repertory rubrics involving nervous symptoms such as trembling and fatigue. The head-side point is an editorial projection and not a claim about a discrete nervous system action.
