Basic Elements of the Language of the Skin

With Gheorghe Jurj, MD, PhD

04 October 2025, 9:00 AM-10:00 AM PST


Dr. Jurj will present a case of psoriasis illustrating basic elements of the language of the skin.

He will also discuss the ways this course will train you to see how clues exhibited by the skin can guide you to the correct simillimum.

SPECIAL NOTE: In honor of the life and work of Dr. Joseph Kellerstein, Dr. Jurj will donate 10% of the proceeds from this course to the Investigating Homeopathy film project. Thank you, Dr. Jurj.
 
From Dr. Kellerstein in the film Introducing Homeopathy:

"Hahnemann says that ‘Suffering is the blueprint of its own cure. Every system of medicine first requires that you translate the suffering of the patient into that medicine's paradigm of function.
 
You give a remedy to a patient because you have selected certain symptoms principally found in one particular homeopathic medicine. You give the medicine; the pattern of sympomatology should clearly shift."

COURSE OVERVIEW

The significance of this course, from Dr. Jurj:

“The skin is much more than the mere covering that many conventional doctors perceive. It hides, while at the same time it reveals. The whole organism speaks through the skin in its own, unique language. The aim of this course is to decipher this ‘secret code’ of the skin, and incorporate its message into our homeopathic analysis. 

I’m now practicing homeopathic dermatology with great pleasure, but this was not always so.”

 

A Rocky Start

During my medical training, especially while studying dermatology, all skin conditions and lesions seemed indistinguishable: a complex, confusing puzzle. I often thought to myself, 'I will never master this.' Later, during my residency, I was assigned to a remote location to work alone. This worried me for two reasons: my first fear was having to perform a tracheostomy (a particular fear of mine, which fortunately, I’ve never had to confront!); my second big fear was differentiating basic skin conditions!


I asked my dermatologist friend to teach me in the simplest way — like ‘for dummies’ — by focusing only on five main skin diagnoses and their treatments. Why just five? Simply because, in that moment, five skin conditions was the most I thought I could remember, and even that was a stretch!


I never expected to manage dermatological issues, and even less that dermatology would become one of my passions!


Im telling you this story because I went through it, and I understand very well how you might say, all this skin stuff is the same, I cannot make a difference. I then imagine your next step might be to seek refuge in your favorite mind symptoms, ignoring the treasure chest of skin signs and symptoms. 

 
A note from Dr. Kellerstein:
 
"I have been studying and practicing homeopathy for over 35 years and teaching for more than 25. I can recognize significant work when I see it. Gheorghe asked to see some of my published cases, and after reviewing them, he said, “Joe, only one thing is missing - Pictures.” The visible realm of symptomatology. I have been so struck by this fact. Predominantly, our work is literary - matching the written, proven symptoms, the totality, to the verbal expression of the patient. Often, we also use some observational information.

Dr. Jurj,
 who also has his doctorate in Semiotics, has taken the observation of the visible world of the patient to a level not seen before in my experience, although, as he points out, so many of these observations have remained buried in the old works and not frequently used. To watch him work as he minutely examines the skin for clues, then the mouth, the back, the gestures, posture, and the gait is truly to learn to see and observe afresh. Gheorghe feels that if a person has been living in a remedy state for some time, surely there will be reliable visible clues expressed by his physical body. If carefully gathered and examined for coherence, could they not be a valued part of the totality? His experience with serious pathology and the immense video library he has amassed over 30 years proves this to be correct."

 

Why Dermatology?

First, because it’s so rewarding! The results are often impressive, competing directly with conventional medicine. It shows how well homeopathy works:  satisfying for both you and the patient.


That moment when the patient returns to report ‘no more, nothing’ - isn’t that the ultimate moment for all homeopaths? The moment that motivates you to go further, to endure your insomnias, and to continue your love affair with homeopathy?


Second
ly, the homeopathic language of the skin is extraordinary: it includes the overall appearance of the skin, the minute details, and how these relate to the patient’s overall characteristics. It’s not just dermatology, but a revelation of how the skin expresses the whole person, guiding further investigation and reasoning. I believe mastering this basic skin language and applying your knowledge to interpret it accurately is vital for success.


Thirdly
, this study presents a significant intellectual challenge, fine-tuning all your resources: from recognizing lesions promptly to connecting skin findings with systemic issues and integrating dermatological diagnosis into a holistic view that considers mind, physiology, immunology, and skin.

Dermatology as Materia Medica

In this course, I will respond to the question, “How do skin lesions look in different remedies?” Instead of ignoring these as common symptoms, we will reconsider them - not as mere accidents - but as expressions the whole system uses to tell us something, expressing itself in a wonderful, fractal way.

In my opinion, the ‘totality of the symptoms’ we emphasize in homeopathy doesn't mean just a simple computation (as we often do in repertory charts). It also refers to an inner coherence among all signs and symptoms, collectively stemming from the same core disturbance. ‘Totality of symptoms' primarily refers to the overall essence (‘Inbegriff”) and provides meaning to each and every sign and symptom.  

From this perspective, homeopathic dermatology goes beyond just identifying lesions or diseases; it's an inviting gateway to understanding the whole person, and this is the ultimate goal of our homeopathic treatment.

 

Some common conditions we will discuss in Part 1: 

- Rashes, different eruptions
- Herpes, Zona, Vesicular eruptions
- Allergic dermatitis
- Neurodermitis (Atopic dermatitis)
- Psoriasis
- Rare diseases (Lichen, Sclerodermia, etc)
- Skin and Miasms 
 
 
This course will reward you with a new refinement in your homeopathic observation and analysis skills. You will learn to see how the skin expresses the whole person, guiding further investigation and reasoning. Do not miss this opportunity to study with one of homeopathy’s living masters!

ABOUT Gheorghe Jurj

Dr. Gheorghe Jurj is an MD who has practiced homeopathy in Romania for over 30 years. He has been teaching post graduate courses in homeopathy to physicians in Romania, Spain, and South America for many years.

Dr. Jurj completed his medical training at Romania’s Medical University of Timisoara in 1984. He spent his early years as a General Practitioner in an isolated mountain community with a population of 5,000, where he provided basic medical services, including a small surgery, work medicine, and counseling. During this time he developed the concept of “Real Time Medicine,” which has now become “Real Time Homeopathy”. Dr. Jurj discovered homeopathy in 1990, whereupon he “felt like a salmon back in its native waters.”

Dr. Jurj holds a PhD in Semiotics, the study of how we use signs and symbols to create and communicate meaning. He has fused Semiotics and Homeopathy in a practical and wonderful way, and his teaching helps refine our observations during casetaking, leading to a deeper understanding of patient expressions.

His publications have been included in major professional journals including Homeopathy, Homeopathic Heritage, Il medico Homeopata, Revista de Homeopatia, Int. Jour. High Dilution Res, Ukrainian Journal of Homeopathy, and more.

PRAISE FOR Gheorghe Jurj

This was a wonderful piece of homeopathy!! Excellent, you took the viewer on a guided tour of a very difficult and baffling case and you came out on top with the remedy nobody could have imagined! So it was a great success.

I watched it unfolding like a detective story, very gripping, very engaging and the 'whodunit' came as a surprise I'm sure to many viewers.

T_________!! who would have thought it? So yes it was a remarkable case study. Bravo! thanks very much.

I noticed right at the start you said, 'please look closely for signs,' and you repeated that point several times, and rare, peculiar, strange...so I think this is a very good way to learn case taking and also materia medica. You made it clear how closely we must study what the patient is saying and how relevant it is to the case, to finding the remedy.

I also liked your point about the patient being like a prover, that is a wonderful analogy and a very fruitful way of looking at a case...their symptoms, their pathology, their sickness is an expression of a drug exactly like the symptoms of a proving! that I think is a very insightful way of talking about homeopathy in practice, it helps us to see a case as a proving, as an expression of a drug, like the voice of the drug is speaking to us through the patient. And this hits the very pulse of homeopathy where the sickness speaks to us in the same language as the proving if only we could understand what it is saying!

When I first met Dr. Gheorghe Jurj, many years ago, well before the time of webinars and Zoom meetings, he sent me a CD by regular mail. When I opened it, I could hardly believe my eyes. His was an approach to homeopathy practice unlike anything any practitioner ever knew, no matter their experience, whether short or very, very long. Countless times I had occasion to witness the same surprise and amazement among very experienced practitioners around the world.

When you first enter the world of Gheorghe’s practice, nothing you ever learned will prepare you for this experience. You will be challenged at every turn. Gheorghe doesn’t “lecture,” but he “puts problems,” as he likes to say. And the problems he puts are those all of us meet in real-life, everyday clinical practice. Gheorghe’s ultimate aim is not to teach you “a method,” much less a sophisticated and complex theoretical system—even though he has a doctorate in philosophy, his dissertation is precisely on the deep semiotic aspects of homeopathic symptoms.

Gheorghe will ask you “what do you see?”

In his courses, indeed, you will learn how to see in a homeopathically relevant way. Then you’ll realize that up to then you behaved as a blind pilot, steering your aircraft exclusively based on oral instructions received through a highly noisy and distorted channel.

At the same time, Gheorghe will focus on how to think in a practical, clinical way. You will learn how to integrate all possible sources of information—what the patient says, their attitude and behavior, and the incredible uniqueness of the physical manifestations of the countless homeopathic remedies.

In Gheorghe’s courses, you will not sit comfortably to listen to a lecture and note down wonderful pearls of wisdom. He will not show you “spectacular cases” he magically solved through an out-of-this-world perception. He will put you face-to-face to consultations filmed real-time. After a few minutes (yes! a few minutes!) he will tell you: “This is the case! What is the remedy?” He will then go back painstakingly, second by second, pointing out to a million of signs, symptoms, individual characteristics, you simply could not see. And he’ll explain you carefully how all this information is essentially interconnected, and thus points to one single homeopathic medicine or family of medicines.

Dr. Jurj understood, and masters like no one else the most important among Samuel Hahnemann’s teachings: to develop our capacity to observe, “refining and regulating the perceptions of the senses,” and at the same time, sharpening our faculty of judgment, while suspending all “fantastic wit and speculation.”

Let me start with my conclusion:

Dr Gheorghe Jurj is a remarkable Doctor, Homœopath and Teacher with an enormous amount of clinical knowledge to impart to our Homœopathic community. As a person he is as warm wise and knowledgeable as his smile is wide and genuine.

Now for some details:
Gheorghe is an MD practising Homœopathy in Romania for more than 30 years.
He holds a PhD in Semiotics. Semiotics is the study of how we use signs and symbols to create meaning and how that meaning is then communicated. Gheorghe has brought together Semiotics and Homœopathy in a wonderful way.
When we as Homœopaths take a case, the weight of consideration goes to the verbal expressions of the patient with perhaps some observational notes. Hahnemann says in a footnote to Aphorism 22.
“When made ill by noxious agents, our life principle cannot do anything else than express its depression caused by disturbance of the regularity of its life, by symptoms, by means of which the intelligent physician is ask for aid.”
The changes which occur in illness are a message from the vitality requesting exactly the needed remedial assistance.

Gheorghe’s teaching opens our eyes like never before. For decades he has been asking the question “how can what I Observe guide me towards a remedy.” Objective signs do not lie. He has been teaching Post Graduate courses in Homœopathy to Physicians in Romania, Spain and South America for many years. I have been asking him to bring his marvellous work to an English speaking audience and just now he has agreed.

There is so much to enjoy learning from this excellent teacher. Consider the following that he has taught in his many courses:

  • What observation of the nails and finger tips might indicate Bryonia?
  • What single gesture might point us towards Baryta?
  • What discoloration of the foot demands Secale?
  • What gesture of the hand makes us immediately think of Berberis?
  • What is the gait of Conium and how is it different from Lathyrus?

Many of these are his original observations and many were excavated from the literature. He takes this art and science of non-verbal signs in Homœopathy to an unheard of level. More than this Gheorghe has over the decades made videos of his patients. An enormous video library showing the results he has achieved. He utilizes this as an excellent teaching tool allowing us to experience these meaningful signs in actual patients.

Studying with this man and this video evidence is a great clinical education.

Please do not miss this. I know I will be there.

Dr. Jurj has strenuously developed the art of patient observation, through a careful deciphering of signs, symptoms, and their meaning. His courses have complex visual components (both photo and video) which are drawn from his own practice, and are clearly, accessibly and rigorously objectified. His interpretation of symptoms, case evolution and the results he achieved are solid testimonies for his work methods and ethics.

More than 30 years of clinical, academic and international education experience set the highest standard for these courses, making them a must in the portfolio of any homeopathy practitioner, regardless of their level of experience.

— Calin Andron, MD, ...


Since 2004, Dr. Gheorghe Jurj has conducted over 30 seminars in Ukraine focusing on the homeopathic treatment of different pathologies in children and adults. His seminars are always held at the highest scientific level and are very informative. Upon showcasing the different cases he has worked on, most include video demonstrations that highlight the engaging nature of his method. Dr. Jurj's courses are attended by over 100 doctors, many traveling from Russia, Belarus and Lithuania to learn from his approach.

— Dergachova Zoya MD...


I have attended Dr. Jurj's Homeopathy courses with great interest over the last 15 years and warmly recommend them. Dr. Jurj's courses provide pragmatic benchmarks for an effective homeopathic case management. His methods bring to the forefront the significance of medical semiotics, particularly the individual visual signs, and reconsider the role of objective signs within a homeopathic practice.

— Liliana Petruse, M...


I had started with the classical study of Homeopathy 12 year prior to meeting Dr. Jurj. Of all the studied methods, Dr. Jurj's was the most impactful... It was stunning to see him with children - their play, their dialogue appropriate for the child's level was followed by a precise theory. What then would follow was a translation with the accuracy of a clinical blade.
I've learned to see the patient as a person, to understand signs, and to quickly interpret the ensemble holistically. Everything was to fit, to become coherent, to flow. At the end there was no other conclusion to be reached and no other remedy to be prescribed... I learned to prescribe correctly because I have learned to focus on signs, and figured that words would only take you so far and were a small part of the significant whole. I've continued to be informed about and read other works, however as a practitioner I remain what I became after the few months spent with Dr.Jurj - a ~jurjist~.

— Dan Militaru, MD, ...


The teaching method of Dr. Jurj is based in the coherence between signs and symptoms that are accessible to our senses together with the Generals and Mentals of the Patient. It is a Mastery method for considering and including the characteristics, peculiars, striking symptoms into the Totality of the case. We also learn about Physiology and Pathology in a way that helps us to use it in the context of the Homeopathic approach.

Dr. Jurj has developed the ability to create in the audience the eagerness for researching deeper the non-verbal signs and symptoms of the patient. It is a real training for expanding our knowledge and understanding of Materia Medica from the clinical experience rather than just book studies. It is a non-stopping exercise to develop the potential for taking the facts of the signs of the patient and getting from them reliable information to be applied for the most accurate prescription.

I feel so blessed to be part of this phenomenal learning experience. It’s a gift to be able to see recorded consultations done in a clinic setting with a live teacher where the details that can be missed in a live case taking are pointed out in detail and analysed step-by-step on the recorded video. 

It has helped me leaps and bounds in my understanding of Materia Medica. 

I don’t want this learning experience to end, and would like Dr. Jurj to just keep on teaching us. I am his lifelong student now!"

Besides his generous, rich and huge volume of information, his seminars are EYE-opening!
