Prof. Dr. med. Gustav Jaeger was once commissioned to scientifically refute homeopathy. Jaeger dedicated himself to this research mission as more of an opponent than a supporter. However, his result was different than expected. Highly diluted fragrances are the key to understanding. The vibration of scent is a rotational movement around its own axis, comparable to the earth...

This booklet summarizes Jaeger's findings regarding homeopathy in an easy-to-understand manner. Clearly designed, it makes you want to read page by page and give new impulses and a completely new understanding of homeopathy.

AUDE SAPERE

Dare to smell and taste.

Have the courage to use your nose and your taste!

Aude sapere is usually translated as "Have courage to use your own understanding" or "Dare to be wise."

I personally have never liked this translation. So I was very happy to have found something much more appropriate.

"An early testimony confirms that sapere, "tasting", is not a purely passive process. Sapere means: "By exerting certain mental powers, determining an unknown taste, possibly deciding whether what is tasted is edible or poisonous." But one finds also the word smell, as a translation of the word sapere, for example to smell like saffron - crocum sapere.

So I translated Aude Sapere differently for this book,

which I like much better and, above all, it makes more sense.
