  PRIMARY AND SECONDARY ACTION
PRIMARY ACTION:
   Every agent that acts upon the vitality, every medicine, deranges more or
   less the vital force, and causes a certain alteration in the health of the
   individual for a longer primary or a shorter period action.This is termed
   as primary action.
   When a remedy in taken, it interacts with the body's vital force
   triggering symptoms that are similar to those produced by the
   substance in healthy individuals.The primary action manifests quickly after
   administration.
   It can lead to the emergence of symptoms that mimic the disease
   state being treated.This is the direct physiological or psychological impact
   observed when the remedy is administered.
SECONDARY ACTION:
The automatic, defensive reaction of the vital force against the primary action
of the drug is called secondary action.
It maybe of two types:
1.Secondary counter-action:
When an exact opposite condition of primary action is possible the vital force
reacts equally and opposite to the primary action. It depends upon the principle
of “contraria contraris curantur” - opposite cures opposite.
2. Secondary curative action:
When exact opposite condition of primary action is not possible the vital force
indifferentiates itself and employs its increased energy to extinct the
medicinal disease which gradually decrease and thus ultimately regains
health. It depends upon the principle of Similia Similibus curantur
- like cures like.
