Homoeopathy a complete medical science

Homoeopathy A complete medical Science.
The body is making an effort to maintain internal stability.This process is called Homoeostasis . The body will do everything it can to return to stability if this state is altered . Are u familiar with the big Hit Me plastic clown ( with sand in the base) the children play with? No matter how hard or in what direction u hit or push the clown,it returns to an upright position. Similarly with the human body,it is always working to maintain a certain balanced state.If it's v hot day,it perspires to cool it self .If a bone is broken, the body works to mend it .It creates scar tissue over a cut to protect itself from further damage,and It produces white blood cells to fight infections.Homoeostatic activities include everything from replacement of the lining of the digestive tract to the regulation of a woman's menstrual cycle.U depend on homeostatic systems breaks down the result will be disease,perhaps even death.
Homoeopathic medicines act upon the body causing a complex series of biochemical changes that attempt to bring the body back to a healthy state.Homoeopathy's ramifications in respect to maintaining health are awesome,indeed many Drs.and scientists consider it's theory to be one of the greatest contributions to the understanding of disease.
Dr.Hahnemann , the father of Homoeopathy bases homoeopathic science on the principle of nature's law of cure that is to bring about gentle and cure by raising the body's vital force to such,an extent that the body overcomes the diseases process and gets back to its normal,healthy self without causing any adverse effect.
When u consult a homoeopathic Physician u will find it v different from seeing a conventional dr.taking down ur family history,symptoms ,nature etc,before deciding on the right remedy for u .This is because in homoeopathy there is no specific remedy for a specific illness, and therefore each individual Is treated on his own.
Homoeopathy differs from the other systems of medicen in the preparation of remedies,though the drug substances may be the same.Homoeopathic medicines are potintised medicens.What is potency?
Potency means inner or physical strength It can also be defined as the dynamic property of a drug which is released,enhanced and maintain by the dynamisation method.D dynamisation is also known as potintisation.which ,in turn,means the liberation of the hidden power of a drug.Homoepathic potintisation,therefore is a mathemetico - mechanical process for the reduction,according to scale, of crude ,inert or poisonous medical substances to a state of physical solubility, physiological assimilability and therapeutics activity and harmlesness,for use as Homoeopathic healing remedies.

Certain substances which are poisonous in crude form such as Mercury,strychnine Arsenic and snake poisons cab be rendered harmless and be transformed into beneficial healing remedies.For example snake poisons when taken in its crude form would kill a person,but when it is homoeopathically prepared it can stop the worst kind of bleeding.Arsenic is another poisonous substance which when used in Homoeopathy immediately controls diarrhoea and vomiting caused by food poisoning.
Certain substances which are inert in crude form such as metals like Aurum(Gold) Platinum,Calcarea carbonate and Charcoal,can be changed and activated.For example Gold (Aurum met) 1m potency can put an end to sucidal tendencies.
Certain drugs already active in their natural state but can be further activated and their sphere of action broadend potencies can be low , starting from 0 to about 3x ......6 x , medium potencies range from 30 to 200 and high ,and high potencies from 1 M ......10 M onwards.The higher the potency the lesser the drug.... but the higher the energy.It is all based more or less on the theory of the atomic bomb .The bomb gets its energy from the splitting of the nuclei( central cores) of Urinum or Plutonium atoms . The relationship between mas and energy,put forth by the great mathematician Albert Einstein explains how the fission of heavy atoms can produce energy.Similarly ,in Homoeopathy the drug substances,that is small atoms,are split even smaller atoms generating more and more energy.
Homoeopathically prepared medicences may contain very little of the original substance ,yet they are perfectly effective.In this way,substances which at full strength may be extremely poisonous can quite safely be used homoeopathically and give excellent results even if you take more than prescribed dose by accident.
Tautopathic medicines
Today Homoeopathic science has progressed to such extent in the USA, Mexico, Germany UK, France Pakistan and in India, that these modern medicines are prepared in the Homoeopathic manner by a process that is known as tautopathic science. These drugs are made with the same names in different Potencies. The function of these tautopathic drugs is to counter the ill effects of drug toxicity. They have proved to be life savers, especially in acute and chronic conditions.
Myths of Homoeopathy
Garlic, onions  coffee, liquor perfumes there are no don'ts about them. Extensive trials have been carried out in Mexico which have proved that they do not hinder the efficacy of the medicines.
Slow to act
There is popular but mistaken belief among the lay people ( but mercifully now not among the enlightened community of modern medical practitioners of all discipline) that Homoeopathy is slow to act. This of course is a myth. In acute illness when the infection is growing at fast rate, nobody, no even the Homoeopath can afford to wait for slow, passive action. The speed of therapeutic response is of utmost importance. The properly selected remedy with the right Potency and dosage works with unbelievable speed.
This is another big  misunderstanding that exists among people. Nothing comes out and nothing gets worse. At times certain diseases in the system get suppressed due to the use of conventional medicines and these suppressed diseases attack vital organs, causing further destruction.
Now let's see what happens when Homoeopathic medicines are given to a such a diseased individual
As we know the principle of Homoeopathy is to make the vital force ( inner strength) strong enough to throw out the disease from within the body in its most natrual way.When the body starts to throw out these deep seated diseases in the intial stages the power is so strong that it creates a slight impact. This impact may or may not be felt in all cases and it should not last for more than 48 hours.
Stopping all other medicines.
Some people hold the mistaken belief that Homoeopathy requires you to stop all other forms of medicine. This is not necessarily true.when patients come with chronic illnesses like bronchial asthma, high blood pressure and diabetes, they have usually been taking allopathic drugs for a number of years. Asthmatic may be on broncho dilators and cortisones . They cannot stop taking these drugs all of sudden because not even Homoeopathy can work miracles overnight. The patient may need emergency treatment and the Homoeopath may not be available. Besides, since a patient has taken those for so many years.,  no harm can come from him continuing with them for a few more days or weeks, till his system gets adjusted to the Homoeopathic drugs. The sudden withdrawal effect of very potent drugs can be extremely harmful and it should be done very systematically and step by step.
In the case of hypertension too, the same rule applies. Once the blood pressure starts going down, the drugs can be withdrawn gradually.
In acute illnesses like very fever antipretics like Paracetamol ( crocin or metacin) are given to help control the fever for a few hours, and once the infection comes under control by Homoeopathic drugs these,( allopathic drugs) are not needed to bring in complete relief through Homoeopathic drugs, however if you are being treated homoeopathically you should not take another Homoeopathic medicine at the same time without first consulting your Homoeopath.
Advantages of Homoeopathy.
It is completely safe and free from side effects.
It can be given to newborns, pregnant women and geriatrics (our senior citizens) too.
It is complete medical science which has remedies for psychological and physiological disorders and it also helps end drug induced disorders.
It treats each individual case separately, we do not prescribe for the disease condition, taking into account the patient's signs and symptoms.
Two persons from the same family may suffer from headaches. One of them may feel better with a tight bandage on his head, while the other may not let you touch his head. Why? Because each individual is different in his likes dislikes, aggravations ameliorations   mental symptoms etc. Therefore mr A will require a different medicine from mr B .
Homoeopathic medicines are based on the theory of Jainism no killing. We don't kill bacteria but aim to enhance the body's natural ability to heal itself. This is done by increasing the vitality or the inner power of the body which is called the vital force. The body then overcomes the bacteria and viruses.
Homoeopathic medicines are made from various sources. However, the accent is on herbal and mineral sources. They are also made from chemicals though not from crude once. And since these are Potentised chemicals there are absolutely no side effects.
No latrogenic disorders is caused even after continuously taking Homoeopathic drugs. (Latrogenic disorders are produced due to drugs and their strong chemicals.)
But I would like to warn my readers that indiscriminate use of high Potencies in certain pathological conditions may damage their system.
Homoeopathic medicines go deep into the system and try help the body to get rid of disorders without any side effect relief is complete and long standing. Though their use, a number of surgical conditions can be avoided for example, adenoids, tonsillitis, piles, fissures, fistula and certain types of kidney, liver and bile stones.

Missing or late period

Missing or late period

There are several factors which can delay a period which include.
Early menopause perhaps not the cheeriest one to Kick off but as per reports around one in 100 women will experience early menopause before they reach the age of 35 . It's worth visiting your Dr if your Periods have stopped or if you are becoming increasingly sporadic. If you are suffering from hot flushes night sweats irregular sleep or vaginal dryness in conjunction with late periods, you should also seek medical advice.
Being on medication
There are certain types of medication, which signal to your body to stop menstruating. Your cycle may be impacted by some antibiotics contraceptives pills and anti-depressants disrupting your hormone levels. It's therefore important to talk to your Dr.about possible side effects of any course of medication you are about to embark on.
Changing weight
It is not so much of a thing if you shed a couple of kgs but more if you lose or gain suddenly short time.This is because your body requires a certain amount of body fat to ovulate so any sudden weight loss will stop your period.The same applies if you put on lot of weight over the short period of time.The increase in fat cells raises oestrogen levels, which will stop your body from releasing an egg and therefore you miss your Periods.
Being stressed
This seems to be the dark overload of health woes manifesting itself as hair loss, sleepless nights, problem skin and fluctuating weight, to name a few.It can also play havoc with periods. This is because the part of the brain which produces hormones crucial to reproduction, responds to stress badly, skewing the hormones production. So a woman's periods will therefore become irregular even stop altogether unless they manage to tackle their stress

Sleep
We know the symptoms of early menopause can manifest themselves when we sleep. But our sleeping patterns themselves can have a konck on effect on our periods. For example if you travel and change time zones dramatically this can cause your Periods to go off kilter. Similarly it happens if you work indodd shifts.
When training your body has a response to when it feels it's using up too much energy and this is to deactivate any functions it doesn't see as necessary. One of these may be your Periods. The good news is should you ease up on your regime, your Periods should resume.

Classification of Potency

After having come to know about various methods of drug dynamisation, the question arises as to which Potency should be given to the patient and whether low or high. The practitiiners know that potencies such as Q 1,3, 6,30,200,1000,10m,50m CM and MM are generally used.We may classify these into 6 categories namely
Low potencies Q,1,3,6
Medium potencies 12 ,30
Medium high 200
High potency 1 m
Higher potencies 10 m
Very high potencies 50 m and above
The classification as given above may, however be different in some of the books but I have adopted this classification for our convenience only.
The potency question has not been solved notwithstanding all endeavours of homoeopaths. Therefore, many popular books on Homoeopathy leave the question of potency to the judgement of the practitioners. Like others I have also tried to solve this problem and accordingly divided this problem into 5 categories.
1 Skill and knowledge of the physician.
2 Nature of the patient.
3Nature of the disease
4 Nature of the medicine.
Other general principles
Skill and knowledge of the physician
The ability, experience and the knowledge of the physician play an important role in the selection of a Potency. There are physicians who play well with high potency on the basis of their experience and there are others who are afraid of even giving above 30 Potency.
Skill of the physician means that every physician should have knowledge of medicines and knowledge of application of medicines which depends on
1 careful case taking
2 prooer analysis and evaluation of symptom.
3 Careful observation of remedy reactions their significance and results
4 Correct application of knowledge of second prescription and
5 knowledge of dispensing drugs.
The high potencies where administered, have shown their results. Both high and low potencies are of immense value at different timings with different patients and in the hands of different physicians. Beginners in Homoeopathy generally start with low Potencies. According to the Homoeopathic teachings very high Potencies, the infinitely small dose, are most powerful and may be dangerous if wrongly given. Of course much depends on the sensitiveness of the individual.A physician should know that no one Potency deserves the preference in all cases and that all Potencies cure diseases but that every Potency cures every disease.
The Homoeopathic principle in the selection of Potency is found in aphorism 30 of Organon which says that the medicinal Potency must be a little higher than the disease intensity so that the medicine dispels the disease. But the measure of disease insensity is a matter of doctor's experience.
A rational Homoeopath has no prejudice for or against high or low Potencies. He knows and perceive the fact that all Potencies act, if the remedy is similar to dynamic condition of the patient. It however, acts more efficiently and quickly if its Potency is appropriate to the sensitivity of the patient as a whole.
Nature of the patient
One of the guiding factors for selection of Potency is degree of suceptibility of the patient. Much depends on the sensitiveness of an individual taking Homoeopathic medicines. No two people react alike, persons oversensitive may even be due to improper Homoeopathic treatment require low Potency. The sluggish patients owing to much allopathic drugging, will require a very high potency to get any reaction at all or low Potency repeated every few hours until favourable reaction commences.In case of feeble patients where the vital force can easily be overwhelmed repetition of medicine is full of dangers​. Acutly sick robust patients will stand repetition of high Potencies until favourable reaction sets in.
Children can tolerate high Potencies well and generally the very aged persons require medium Potencies except for euthanasia.
Intellectual occupation, excitement of imaginations and emotions, sendantary occupations long sleep and effiminate life require higher Potencies while laboures and whose food is coarse, idiots, imbeciles deaf and dumb usually require low Potencies.
Nature of the disease
Besides dealing with chronic and diseases like nature of the disease also includes
The nature of suffering and
The stage of disease. Here I will cover all these aspects.
In general, acute disease respond well to high Potencies, especially of acute remedies. High potencies of deep acting chronic remedies when they are indicated may be dangerous, certain acute diseases based on chronic troubles such as cardiac asthma would have to be treated with medium or low Potencies because high potency would stir up more than the vital force could cope with in the face of advanced pathology.
In chronic cases, it is safe to begin with 200 th c unless it is dangerous because of the nature of the remedy, the degree of the pathology or the depth of the miasms. The object behind using 200 th Potency is that you have then ascending series of Potencies to use as treatment progress ( J.T.Kent)
In serious chronic cases the physician should take utmost care in the selection of the Potency of certain very deep acting medicines such as Sulphur, Siliceia, Tubreculinum or Phosphorus in tuberculosis, Kali carb in gout, Psorinum in Asthma and Arsenicun and Lachesis in many conditions. In these cases 30th Potency may be very useful.
In incurable and doubtful cases give no higher than the 200 th Potency and observe whether the aggravation is going to be too deep or too prolonged. There are many signs in the chest in such cases to make a physician doubt whether he will give deep remedy when organic disease is present then begin in such cases for anybody or anything (Kent). This view has also been held by dr.Underhill when he advocated for the use of low Potency in cases where cure is impossible and only palliation is required as in cancer.
In bad hearts high potency may give a bad reaction. It may be necessary to use tincture
One should not give a high potency immediately before a crisis or during paroxysms or convulsions
In acute diarrhoea and lower Potencies are preferable and should be taken dry from which is indeed important.
For the low grade disorders or when the disorder is apparently limited to structures and tissues out side the mental and nervous functions, low Potencies often cure speedily.
In gastric complaints use low Potencies it is for this reason nutritive medicine like Calc phos or Nat Mur are most efficacious in low Potencies

In mental diseases manifestly psychic origin the high potency 10 m and upward is to be used and that for grossly material condition marked organic patholgical changes, lower or medium Potencies would be selected.
Medicines in low Potencies are required during fever as the physician may be required to repeat the medicine every now and then in accordance with the intensity of the disease high or higher Potencies are very useful in acute phase of chronic diseases and in curable cases.
Low Potencies are more useful in all diseases of mucus membrane particularly of the bronchia and the lungs and all chronic diseases of liver.
In all nerve cases the individual remedy should be given in a high potency which means in an infinitely small quantity.
High potencies have a place in pregnancy. These Potencies are normally used for constitutional treatment and we all know that the pregnancy affords the best time for such treatment Kent has also said that We should keep high Potencies at finger tip while dealing with a case of haemorrhage.
In active skin eruption like itch, scabies recent and active eczema urticaria allergy etc low Potencies are to be given. Similarly cases of advanced organic or metabolic disorders like organic cardiac lesion diabetes etc are to be treated with low Potencies.
If the symptoms have been suppressed at the the peripheral and the disease has been driven to the centre, high and highest Potencies will be more useful, but if the symptoms are already on the surface i.e in case of skin eruptions one must be very cautious in prescribing high Potencies especially drug like Sulphur.
When there are gross tissue changes in the acute or last stage of chronic diseases low Potencies are rather palliative than curative, the time of cure is long passed.
The nature of suffering
If the suffering is intense high potency
If the suffering is mild low Potency
If the disease is of a general nature I.e affecting whole patient high potency
If the disease is of a local nature low Potency.
More prominent the physical symptoms low to medium Potency
The stage of disease
If the disease is at functional stage high potency
If the disease has reached the pathological stage low to medium Potency
The grosser the pathological changes the lower Potency.

Nature of the medicine
The nature of the medicine includes of substance in preparation of the medicine, the type of proving done and the type of symptoms produced.
If the drug substance from which the medicine is prepared is an inert substance such as Carbo veg, Nat Mur, Lyc etc, usually medium to high Potencies work well.
Poorly or partially proved medicines prescribed on partial symptoms picture should always be used in low Potencies. This rule will apply to drugs like Ornithogalum, Crategous , Hydrastis, Carduus mar, Ficus indica, Calc flr etc.
The medicines which are not properly proved should be given inlow.
Podophyllum 200 is quite useless in the Constipation of children where as 6 th worked spendidly. In high fever of children with threatening or actual convulsions that 6 th Potency increased fits and fever while 30 and 200 without any aggarvations at all.diarrhoea of Bryonia responded well with 3rd to 6 th Potency. But in the usual Constipation of Bryonia Potencies above 30 are Excellent.
Certain medicines act best both in high or low Potencies while others do not develop curative Power below certain Potency.there are medicines which are mostly given in low Potency mother tincture and also in some cases the action of the medicine varies according to the Potency. A study of some of the medicines will act as a guide in selection of the Potency. Here I will realise the value of the Two statements of two physicians dr Nash and Dr. Kent.

Homoeopathic treatment for clear skin

Homeopathic Treatment for Clear skin

The skin can lose its glow and get dull and discoloured. Sun exposure, Chloasma, freckles and scars due to acne are just a few reasons. Although not a life-threatening issue, people with dull and darkened facial skin usually consider it a life-altering one, leading to feelings of inadequacy and decreased self-confidence. This, in most cases, leads to the haphazard use of cosmetics and medicated ointments. However, only temporary results are usually found and in some cases injudicious use of such products may even aggravate the condition.
This brings us to the scope of Homeopathic treatment in such cases. We can confidently say that homeopathic remedies for clear and glowing skin are totally free from any side effects and are extremely effective in treating this problem. The medicines used are all natural and, thus, free from any harmful components. Their selection is based upon the individual constitution of the patient, and success is attained by employing the constitutional remedy internally. No external application is applied or recommended.
As the condition has arisen due to a disturbance in the internal balance of the body and not due to any external factor, the medicine too must work from inside to clear the skin. This result is gained through homeopathic remedies which raise the inner vitality of the person and throw out any noxious agent in the body which may be the cause behind dull and discoloured skin. The result—fair, clear and glowing skin is regained.

Both these remedies are recommended for a clear skin and for removing scars caused by pimples.

Natrum Mur, Lycopodium and Phosphorus – Homeopathic remedies for clearing skin affected with freckles
Freckles refer to pigmentation on the skin, usually on the face, occurring due to prolonged exposure to the sun. This is due to a collection of melanin pigment under the skin resulting in discoloured spots on the face and other skin areas that have been exposed to the sun. The spots may vary from brown to black in colour. These medicines are always selected according to the constitution of the patient and help to remove freckles and make the skin clean and clear. The constitutional symptoms are all different and peculiar for each of these medicines. A few symptoms are listed below:
A person who needs Natrum Mur has hot temperament with intolerance to the heat of the sun. He may also crave salty things. Usually the person is reserved in nature and may show a tendency to weep easily.

Phosphorus may be needed when a person has a craving for ice-creams, juices or cold drinks. Such a person is also sensitive to external impressions like noise, light and odours.
These are only glimpses of the symptoms, out of a huge list of constitutional symptoms. Apart from these many other symptoms may need to be considered before selecting these remedies. That is where a good homeopath comes in. He will ask for details and work on a comprehensive case study before deciding the medicine most appropriate for you.
