Homeopathy
They are as follows:
Homeopathy is a system of medicine founded on a definite law ‘Similia Similibus Curantur’ which means ‘like cures like’.
It’s means that only one single, simple medicinal substance is to be administered in a given case of time.
The suitableness of a medicine for any given case does not depend on its accurate homeopathic selection alone, but likewise on the proper size of dose too. Under this principle practitioners give medicine to the patients in very minute doses. The minute dose means that quantity of a medicine which is though smallest in quantity produces the least possible excitation of the vital force and yet sufficient to effect the necessary change in it.
In Homeopathy we prescribe only those medicines whose medicinal properties are known through ‘drug proving’. Drug proving is a systematic investigation of pathogenic (disease-producing ) power of medicine on healthy human being of different ages, both sexes and of various constitutions.
Dr. Hahnemann after practicing Homoeopathy for 12 years, observed that in spite of prescribing correct medicines to his patients; the patient complained of partial relief, no relief, mixed pattern of relief and recurrence of symptoms.
He further studied the trend of symptoms, diseases and established the Doctrine of Chronic Diseases and further postulated that ‘miasms’ or certain ‘polluting factors’ were responsible for causing them.
The three single miasms are Psora (the itch, real cause of all type of chronic diseases), Sycosis (the gonorrheal, venereal fig-wart disease characterized by warts) and Syphilis (venereal chancre disease, characterized by ulceration).
The human organism is a triune entity consisting of body, mind, and spirit. This spirit which is responsible for different manifestations of life was termed as ‘Vital Force’. In the healthy condition, it is the vital force which maintains normal functions and sensations of the organism.
Homeopathic dynamisation is a process by which the medicinal properties which are latent in natural substances while in their crude state, become awakened and developed into activity to an incredible degree.
