Healing Bitter Water and Water as an Agent in Healing
Eyal Goldberger, MD, MF Hom

There are two instances in Scripture of healing bitter water: in Exodus 15 by Moses, and in II Kings 2 by Elisha. These two cases can be used as a model approach to healing in general. The principle of cure in both examples is based on using an agent which causes symptoms similar to the disease itself. This principle of healing "like with like" is applied by homeopathic medicine. Moreover, the structure and properties of water are very important to homeopathy. Homeopathic medicines are prepared by repeated series of dilutions and 'succusions' in water. The Tsemah Tsedek discourses on the same special properties of water discussed here.
