Leading Voices in Homeopathy

[Myra Nissen]

I am researching Dr. Karl Bernhard Trinius, said to be Hahnemann's favorite nephew. I am wondering if he documented any provings or any other contributing work on remedies? I know he was also a botanist and did a lot of research on grasses including bamboo. Thank you so much in advance for your time and for any information you may have on Trinius.

Dear Myra,

Very interesting. I did not know that. Knew about his sons, but not his nephew.

Trinius was born in 1775 at Eisleben. He was the son of the clergy man Ant. Bernhard Trinius and his wife Charlotte, sister of Hahnemann. His father died early and the mother married Dr. Müller, of Eisleben.

The son took his degree in 1802 ; from 1804 he practiced medicine in Courland. In 1808 he was appointed physician to the Duchess Antoinette of Wurtemberg ; he traveled with her through Germany and Russia, and was equally distinguished as a botanist, physician, and poet.

Alter the death of the Duchess he was appointed physician to the emperor (he had acted since 1823 as a teacher of botany at Petersburg), and in 1829 tutor to the crown prince ; in 1836 he visited, at the request of the Imperial Academy, the chief botanical collections of foreign countries, and after repeated attacks of apoplexy in Munich and Dresden, in 1837 and 1838, he died of general dropsy, in 1844, in Petersburg in the bosom of his family.

In 1830 he retired from medical practice, devoted himself to the study of Homeopathy in his study as he previously had done at the sick bed. He corresponded also with his uncle Hahnemann. He published several books.
