VVI & Frequently Asked Questions of Organon of Medicine for Final BHMS Exam 2026

by

The Organon of Medicine, authored by Samuel Hahnemann, is the foundation stone of Homoeopathic philosophy and practice. For Final Year BHMS students, Organon is not just a theoretical subject — it is the guiding principle behind case taking, prescription, and clinical management.

Every year, university examinations repeat certain core areas such as:

  • Chronic diseases & Miasms
  • Susceptibility
  • Posology
  • Remedy reaction
  • Case taking
  • Law of cure
  • Second prescription

A clear analysis of question papers from 2014 to 2022 shows a definite pattern — examiners repeatedly focus on fundamental philosophical concepts and their practical application.

This article compiles the Very Very Important (VVI) and frequently asked questions from both Paper I and Paper II to help Final BHMS students prepare smartly, revise effectively, and score high marks in Organon.

If you prepare these topics thoroughly with aphorism references and conceptual clarity, you can confidently cover almost 70–80% of the examination syllabus.
