Basis of Homeopathy - Drug Proving

What is 'Drug Proving'?

The study of the effects of medicines (or drugs) on healthy human beings is called homoeopathic 'Drug Proving'. Drug Proving is done by administering a drug in various potencies to a number of healthy volunteers of both sexes and of various age groups and collecting the symptoms that are produced by the drug. Unlike animal studies this study records various subjective symptoms which are very peculiar to each substances. In no other study this type of symptom collection is possible.
