Obstacles to Cure

From Samuel Hahnemann’s (The Father – and Founder - of Homeopathy), Organon of Medicine. Aphorism 261 is all about the removal of obstacles (diet, habits, lifestyle, environment). It seems so simple, but sometimes identifying, acknowledging, and the removal of obstacles presents a bigger challenge than adding in something new (that "quick fix").

§ 261

The most appropriate regimen during the employment of medicine in chronic diseases consists in the removal of such obstacles to recovery, and in supplying where necessary the reverse: innocent moral and intellectual recreation, active exercise in the open air in almost all kinds of weather (daily walks, slight manual labor), suitable, nutritious, un-medicinal food and drink, etc.
