“The human being is an integrated whole acting all the time through three distinct levels: the mental, the emotional and the physical. The mental level being the most important, while physical the least.” -Dr. George Vithoulkas
A homoeopathic physician deals with energies. These are of three different kinds – (i) Energy in the man during life while in perfect health. (ii) Morbid energies in the nature, which make the man sick. (iii) Energies of the remedies which restores the man to health.
In the present era after getting fed up with the untoward effects and reactions of the so called modern medicine the people are converging towards homoeopathy in the hope that homoeopathic medicines are safer and cause no side effects whatsoever.
Primarily it will be needed to streamline homoeopathy education and practice across India today. Education in colleges has gone topsy tarvy (different methods wrote in different books and taught differently by the teachers). There is no uniformity among teaching faculty and no single word is spoken to the innocent students about the precautions to be used while prescribing. The basic and primary need in Homeopathy is Precaution, precaution and more precaution. Following requirements are to be attended by one and all. Otherwise this subject may pose a challenge as well as a fearsome block to the practicing lot.
In Homoeopathy, the concept of Vital Force is most important. If a homoeopathic physician has clear concept of the Vital Force, it is my belief that he will perform his duty as a preserver of health with greatest zeal, and the importance of SIMILIA SIMILIBUS CURENTUR and the single, simple and minimum will become very clear to him. In that case he will not be liable to be tempted by the attractive combinations and shortcut formulas.
The historic development of constitutional types in Homoeopathy began with a change in Hahnemann’s own pattern of thinking. Hahnemann (1810) initially advocated similarity of symptoms as the sole basis to select the most suitable curative remedy. Some years later (1816-17) he became convinced that this was not adequate for treating chronic diseases.
In the present era after getting fed up with the unwanted effects and reactions of the so called modern medicine, a large number of people are seen converging towards Homoeopathy in prospect that Homoeopathic medicines are safer and cause no or little side effects. There are still numerous false notions that hinder the acceptance of Homoeopathy in general public.
The word ‘homoeopathy’ is derived from two Greek words, ‘Homois’ meaning similar and ‘pathos’ meaning suffering. Homoeopathy simply means treating diseases with remedies, prescribed in minute doses, which are capable of producing symptoms similar to the disease when taken by healthy people. It is based on the natural law of healing-“Similia Similibus Curantur” which means “likes are cured by likes”.
Modern civilization owes an immense debt to ancient Greece. Almost everything that contributes to the interest and happiness of life originated in Greece. Philosophy and history, poetry and drama, sculpture and architecture, mathematics and astronomy, science and medicine; all had their roots there, and indeed attained in some instances a level of excellence which has never since been equalled.
