*********************
Homeopathy is an alternative system of treatment which is winning increasing
acclaim all over the world. This system of medical treatment was started by
Samuel Hahnemann. It is based on the premise that the symptoms of a disease are
evidence of a cumulative process going on in the human body in response to the disease.
The Homeopathic physician attempts to promote the further development of these
symptoms in order to accelerate the body’s self-cure.
Homeopathy is derived from the words
“homeo” and “pathos” meaning “ similar suffering ”. A cure is
selected which, in its crude form, would produce in a healthy body the same
symptoms found in a person suffering from the specific disease.
Homeopathic remedies are discovered through a process called“proving”. In “proving” various substances
are administrated to healthy people and their effects carefully observed.
Homeopathic physicians give patients only one remedy at any time. They believe
that using a combination of remedies interferes with the efficacy of each
particular remedy. Remedies are diluted so that the patient receives the
minimum effective dose. This procedure is thought to maximize the benefits of
the treatment. An added advantage is that it also prevents harmful
side-effects.
Samuel Hahnemann , a German who practiced in Leipzig, founded the
homeopathic method of treating diseases. His two books published in 1911
and 1933 contain his chief ideas—(i) Like cures like, (ii) Medicines become
more potent as they are diluted and (iii) Itch causes most diseases. He
strongly believed that the basic cause of illness starts from the mind. He
thought of the mind-body connect, when psychology was a small part of
philosophy. According to him, when the balance of body and mind is restored the
human body is free of illness.
The foremost Homeopath in India
In today’s world we have become slaves to allopathic medicines and
suffer the tyranny of the pill. Doctors prescribe too many medicines in order
to satisfy or reassure the patients. Over-use of drugs is making more and more
people sick. Excessive addiction to antibiotics leads to allergies, stomach
disorders, diarrhoea and general debility. The new medical mantras are
specialisation and super-specialisation. There is no holistic view of the
patient’s physical condition and the psychological condition is ignored.
According to a study in the “Outlook” magazine, “With the burgeoning of
hospitals, medical malpractice has grown. Needless surgery is resorted
to, in which patients are put through costly invasive procedures they don’t
really need. These operations cost anywhere from Rs 10,000/- to Rs.2.5 lakhs
and are such that patients can be discharged the same day--biopsy, cataract
surgery, gall bladder removal, hysterectomy, even certain types of joint
replacement.” This is an ideal book for those who are defeated by the high cost
and rigour of allopathic medicine. Homeopathy offers a reliable substitute
which is not costly. According to Dr.Batra Homeopathy is effective,
affordable, non-invasive, easily administered and pleasurable to partake. This
is book to be kept within easy reach and dipped into to find a cure for our
common ailments.
