This paper presents the results of conceptual research on the nature and operation of visual signsin homeopathic clinical practice.

Aims:

to analyze the role of visual signs in homeopathy togetherwith their specific semiotic structure in correlation with the codes leading to possiblesignifications and then to assess the possibility of establishing coherence between the symptomsand signs of patients.

Methodology:

Sign-complexes are approached through a four-stage modelincluding 1) delimitation; 2) decomposition; 3) correlation and; 4) reintegration of signs. Data foranalysis were collected along 15 years of homeopathic clinical practice and recorded by visualmeans; theoretical foundations derive from Jakobson’s theory of communication and Peirce’ssemiotics.

Results:

stages of delimitation and decomposition are illustrated by a homeopathicsemiology of the tongue; analysis of correlation allowed to identify 9 different possible patterns;reintegration requires a first phase of extension of the connotation and denotation of signsfollowed by a phase of contraction of meaning leading to decision-making.

Conclusion:

application of the model proposed results in highly qualified and individual visual signs thatbring new elements to reconsider the role of objective signs in homeopathic practice.(AU)
