Homeopathy :: Role of Occupation in Homoeopathy Prescription

Aphorism: 94
“While enquiring into the state of chronic disease, the particular circumstances of the patient with regard to his ordinary occupations, his usual mode of living and diet, his domestic situation and so forth must be well considered and scrutinized to ascertain what there is in them that may tend to produce or to maintain disease, in order there by their removal the recovery may be promoted.”

Occupational diseases come under non miasmatic with fully developed symptoms of chronic diseases in master’s disease classification. Without perfect talks about patient’s job can work as obstacle between prescription and cure. It is not only a way to prescribe similimum but may help in correct prescription.
