Through a systematically careful examination of his patients, Dr. Weihe found a correlation between the appearance of pain at certain specific points on the skin with certain symptoms presented by them. Weihe was able to observe that certain clinical signs, specifically coinciding with a homeopathic remedy, were accompanied by the appearance of a painful pressure point (Villaverte, 2020). A specialized structure, both physiologically and histologically, which has a greater number of nerve receptors with free nerve endings (afferent fibres), Golgi tendon organs (thermoreceptors), mast cells, capillaries, smooth muscle fibres, a greater quantity of histamine and Ca++ ions, greater conductance and lower electrical resistance, as well as a higher ionic concentration (Ma, 2021, Ahn et al, 2010). Using sensitive points on the body surface of patients that corresponded to a specific group of clinical signs, Weihe also correlated these signs to homeopathic medicines (Daniad, 2021). August Weihe's eldest son became a pastor and missionary and brought home his knowledge of Chinese acupuncture, from which his younger son obviously benefited. August Weihe, the grandson, also became a homeopathic doctor and took over his grandfather's practice. He is the discoverer of the points that bear his name.Bauer (1988) also reported a practical case of malaria where the use of Weihe's points was demonstrated.In addition, the author shows that it is sometimes difficult to decide on a single remedy. In the case reported, the combination of both Kali carbonicum and Arsenicum album forms the similium.The most important function of the pressure points is to confirm the medicinal choice of the substances diagnosed according to Classical Homeopathy (Veloso 2003).Dozens of cases have already been treated with this technique of confirming the choice of the homeopathic form indicated and using the acupuncture points to confirm the correct choice.
