Step 01
Eliciting the request
The consultant asks about the desired state for the coming hour or the coming evening. No diagnosis, no medical history — the question addresses the guest's expectation, not their symptomatology.
Asifin Placebo Forte® · Consultation Bar
Consultation-supported application in a defined setting.
The Consultation Bar is the primary advisory location for Similia Series products. It is not a point of sale but a place of procedure: the desired state is elicited, a product is assigned, the application is accompanied.
Course of a consultation
Step 02
Assigning a product
The appropriate confection is selected from the Similia Series range. The consultant explains the Hahnemann logic: in C30 potency, the substrate acts opposite to its pharmacological effect. Whoever seeks activation receives Diacetylmorphinum. Whoever seeks calm, Cocainum. This is part of the procedural explanation.
Step 03
Handing over the dossier
With the glass vial, the dossier is handed over: substance identity, dilution protocol, batch number, package insert. The full provenance is part of the procedure — application without documentation does not correspond to the method.
Step 04
Accompanying the application
Three to five globules sublingually. The consultant accompanies the transition into the desired state — often through silence alone, sometimes through a conversation about the chosen product. Setting, expectation and confection work together.
Spatial arrangement
The bar is held in pharmaceutical counter style — dimmed lighting, glassware, a consultation station with two seating positions, an apothecary cabinet holding the five confections of the Similia Series in numbered sequence. Consultation in lab-coat standard. Reduced ambient volume.
Architecturally positioned between bar and pharmacy — not a sales room in the tobacconist sense, but a consultation room in which the consultation itself is the actual product.
Consultants
Consultation is led by trained staff. The prerequisite is not pharmaceutical training but familiarity with the Similia logic, the range vocabulary and the consultation choreography. Consultation is held deadpan — no ironic charge, no comic staging, but factual procedural accompaniment.
Casting for consultation staff: ongoing. Inquiries to office@asifism.net.
Locations
First generation: temporary Consultation Bars in event contexts.
The first public Consultation Bar emerges in the context of the AdaChemiker Maskenball on 30 May 2026 at Ada in Vienna. Further temporary locations follow in festival, conference and cultural contexts. A permanent Viennese location is in preparation.
