TRODUCTION TO HOMEOPATHY

Homeopathy was born ,when the methods of cure,such as applying leeches to remove "impure"

blood,inducing vomiting and purging were more troublesome than the actual Malady DR Hahnneman

who was born in Germany on 10th April ,1755 a felt the need for a complete and gentle

treatment instead of crude decoctions and lotions directed mainly against the temporary

suppression of symptoms that was in vogue generally, during his times.The basic assumption

of his proposition is " similia similibus curentor"which means medicines that produce symptoms in a healthy

individual also cure the same symptoms in a person with a disease.ie

medicines cure like diseases.The system underlines the importance of curing the patient rather

than the manifestations or outward symptoms.The condition as a whole,the persons attitudes

his likes and dislikes,his responses to climatic conditions,movement,ameliorations and aggravations in times

the day ,temperament towards the people around him are all take into

account to select a remedy.Medicines are not simply tagged with any particular disease like

in other systems.Thus a particular drug may cure different diseases based on the totality of the

symptoms.For e.g. Diarrhoea may have dozens of drugs while a drug like sulphur can cure a number of

complaints.The salient features are:

There is vital or dynamic force within the body to fight against disease, which is to be activated

Man is susceptible to disease due to certain miasma.

1 curing of patient based on totality of symptoms including mental symptoms

2 preparation of medicines with least toxic affects by continuous purification and succussion

The more the medicine is diluted ,the more succussion done, the medicine becomes

more potent.In higher potencies the drug content is less

3 Drugs are tested on healthy individuals and the symptoms are noted .The system postulates

that the remedies producing opposite effects do not cure but only suppress the malaise where

as the drugs producing similar symptoms cures the patient

4 Selecting a single remedy and single dose preferably.

5 Medicines are administered in the shape of globules ,tablets ,tinctures and powders

6selection of potency based on the stage of disease,state of patient and stress on mental

symptoms

7 watching aggravations and ameliorations ,before second dose or second remedy

POTENCIES IN HOMEOPATHY

Potencies in Homeopathy
Homeopathic drugs ard not administerd in crude form,but refined
and energised by potentization.Potentizatin means the dilution of
drug by adding and mixing a specific minute quantity with a specific
quantity of diluent vehicle which is non medicinal such as water
or alchohol. This mixture is vigorously shaken, or succussed
in liquid medium.If it is solid it is rubbed down or triturated
with a definite quantity of sugar of milk as the inert diluent
The purpose of vigourous shaking or rubbing is to bring the
inherent power of the medicine.

The selection of potency is as important as selection of remedy
The scales s of potentization are
Decimal 1:10 medicine;diluent X
Centicimal 1:100 cH Or c
50 Mill 1:50,000 LM
Decillionth 1:1followed by 60zeros XXX

Low potencies mother tincture,1,3,6
Medium 12,30
medium high 100,200,500
High potency 1000,(1M)
Higher 10,000(10M)
MORE HIGHER 50,000
The potencies of 200 and above are considered high by some physicians

The selection of potency depends on the state of patient and
the physician gains by experience the selection of a particular
potency to a particular patient .some guide lines are
1 Low potencies are given when the patients suffer from
acute diseases of superficilal nature,when charectiristic
general symptoms are absent and only pathological symptoms
are present.For e.g.Arsenic Alb in influenza,Baptesia in
Typhod
Low potencies are given if the patients are not sesitive
or intellectually not well develped
High potencies are given for highly sensitive, and developed
intellectually

6,12,30 in acute cases and 30,200,1M IN Chronic cases.

2 High potencies are given in Chronic cases or acute cases
if the keynote general or charecterisic general symptoms
are present

3 When the patient is in critical and his bodys resistence
is at lowest ebb, low potencies 6,12 etc are called for
as his body cannot withstand high potencies

4 To bring out the latent diseases,High potencies like 1M toCM
have to be employed
5 The lower potencies are more safe, except in the case of
some drugs like Apis which in pregnancy in low and repeated doses
produce abortion.Apocynum cannabinum produces vomiting and
collapse in sensitive patients in low potencies.ArsenicumAlb
and some other drugs in low potencies require caution
Bryonia 3-6 works well in diarrhea,while in constipation
Bryonia 30 And Above WORK Well

6 Incurable diseases require low potencies.organic metaboic disorders
like diabates,heart lesions call for lower potencies

7 Indiscriminate use of highpotencies,with repeated doses does
more harm than good.care should be taken to avoid certain drugs
like sulphur and silica in high potencies when structural
changes hve taken place in vital organs
8 In accute diarrhea and vomiting low potecies are preferable
9 High potencies are not recommended on the eve or during of a crises
convulsins
10 When a particular organ seems to be the causative factor as in infective
hepatitis,jaundice where we do not find the prominent pathological
or physical symptoms and where drugs have special affinity to an organ
potencies in material or low doses are to be given
11 If the nervous weekness is more than the physica weekness
lower potencies have to be used
12 Lower potencies are better in diseases of liver mucus membrane
of lungs.
13 Neurological cases call for high potency
mental diseases,high potencies are to be used while in
pathalogical disorders low potencies work well

14 The action of the same medicne will be different in different
potencies.
MercSol, Hepar sulph, silica in lower potencies help suppuration
While in higher potencies,eliminate the pus formation
3AND 6th potency of Antim tart hardens cough 2x loosens
15 In skin diseases like scabies.eczema,itch and urticaria low
potencies are better
16 Digesive problems, nutrient dificiencies ,orthopaedic,rhematic problems
drugs such as Calcium phosphoricum,sodium and potassium salts and other
biochemical tissue remedies act well in low potencies
17 High potencies are considered
When the disease is functional rather than organic organic
when the remedy is deep acting
when the picture of the disease is confused by drug abuse
In all diseases of nervous system
When the correctly selected remedy fails in low potencies
When the present state of polluted atmosphere impairs
the use of the medicne in low potencies.

18 Camphor should be used in mother tincture,

MISCELLANIOUS

PROPHYLACTICS IN HOMEOPATHY

In recent times the efficacy of Homeopathic drugs ,as a preventive or weakening of certain viral diseases has been noticed. The simple logic was that these drugs reinforce the resistance of the body and prepare it for combating the disease. like vaccines. Some were actually prepared like varilaneum from smallpox pustules,Tuberculium and influenginum from affected diseased tissues. Based on disease symptoms, the drug manifesting ,similar symptoms is selected

some of the preventive or deflating drugs used are

chickenpox Pulsatilla200 kalimur

Measles Morbilinium, , Pulsatilla

smallpox variaolinum

chikungunya Eupatorium perf

LIMITATIONS

Limitations of Homeopathy

As in any system Homeopathy also has its own limitations.

Unlike in other systems Homeopathy aims at the totality of symptoms

including mental, responses to posture,temperature,sensations,relief and

aggravations to various stimuli and the drugs are selected based on the

comprehensive picture and not to a particular branded disease, Selection of

medicine is a great challenge to the physician., testing the patience of both the

doctor and patient. Drugs are not branded with a particular titled disease and

any of the several drugs can cure a particular discomfort. For example Nuxvomica

or sulphur can be of use for several diseases. For diarrhea there may scores of

medicines. In an emergency where time is life saving the comprehensive totality

of symptoms is difficult to elicit nor advisable.

Secondly. the majority of the medicines were proved when the body and soul of

humans was less corrupted., There was then less pollution. Due to usage of synthetic and unnatural products, harmful affluent from chemical and nuclear productions., indiscriminate use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides gradual heating of the globe the original proving may not be wholly relevant and require revision to

find how far the symptoms produced on healthy man by consuming these drugs today differ

from those one and half centuries back

Thirdly the authenticity of the drugs preparation and their delivery to the retail market

seem to warrant scrutiny. as the potencies are in different scales .and denominations.

There seems to be lesser efforts towards research as the system could not attract

financial support as compared to the main system. Consequently there is an attempt

to modernize the system by preparation of mixtures ,ointments and lotions ,with the

hope that at least one of them may work. This may not perhaps the thought of the

pioneers of the system..

When there is grave threat to life as in a heart attack ,brain attack, kidney failure, where

the stage of patient is critical, it is but natural and advisable that modern lifesaving

systems and support are not ignored
