1.Homeopathy
– an introduction
Homeopathy is an alternate system of
medicine which originated in Europe over two centuries
ago.
Its practice,
acceptance and popularity has soared heights
since then, also owing to the dissatisfaction of
conventional
drug treatment among masses due to the various
side effects, limitations and gradual build up of
resistance
to various drugs in the conventional treatment.
Homeopathy has recently been gaining increased attention and wide acceptance
throughout world and also Indian government promotes several Homeopathic
treatments as first line of preventive defense and treatment, as it
represents real medical ecology, being based on purely simple, natural
and universal laws.
It is non-toxic and when properly administered
does no harm to the body. It is a non-invasive treatment and works
to stimulate the body’s own healing powers thus ensuring effective,
safe, permanent cure in most
gentle way.
2. What
is homeopathy?
Homeopathy is a scientific system of medicine discovered
in 1976 by
Dr.Samuel
Hahnemann, a German M.D
physician who was disillusioned with the techniques
devised
by the doctors of his time. He founded this system
on
the stated natural and universal principle of
‘like cures like’, or ‘what can cause can cure’ also
known
as “Similia similibus curantur”.
Thus Homeopathy treats illness with a natural substance which, when taken by
a healthy person produces symptoms similar to those experienced by the person
who is ill.
3.
Holistic approach
Homeopathy aims to treat each particular sick individual
holistically. Homeopathy considers the Man as a whole,
not just the individual parts or organs being sick
or healthy. Health and sickness are the terms which
represent the Man as a whole. It emphasizes the necessity
of looking at the whole person- the body, mind, emotions
and environment around him rather than at an isolated
function or organ alone.
4.
Individual approach
Homeopathy believes that each person reacts differently
to same stimulus, this is called individualization,
which is a unique feature of Homeopathy.
In Allopathy two persons suffering from the same disease may be treated with
the same medicine. However a homeopathic physician does not label a patient
by the disease condition only but considers a prescription based on the totality
of mental, emotional and physical characteristics of the patient, thereby individualizing
each and every case.
5.
What is Homeopathic consultation and case taking?
The aim of Homeopathic consultation is to individualize each patient.
Homeopathy aims to treat each particular sick individual holistically.
In order to understand
the sick man as a whole , we need to understand about his will, intellect,
morals, emotions, stressful events in life and his reaction to them,
probable causative factors of disease ( mental or physical) , his physical
reactions
to environment around and of course exact details of disease itself.
So during a homeopathic consultation all this information is required
to understand
the complete picture of disease and find an exact medicine.
