PREFACE There are innumerous notions about Homoeopathy in whole world. When such comments come into notice they compel one to cudgel his mind, who is responsible for creating all such false notions? After reflecting seriously on all such comments, I reached the conclusion that the fault is from both the sides, Homoeopathic physician and the patient. DRAWBACKS FROM THE P HYSICIAN'S PART Homoeopathic physicians themselves are solely responsible. This responsibility is multi-pronged. Let us ask ourselves a few questions seriously and honestly: (1) FAITH- Do we have virtuous certitude in this esteemed system of healing by similia i.e. Homoeopathy? (2) ORGANON OF MEDICINE- Do we have learned principles of this healing art? (3) Do we correctly interpret thea. THEORY OF INDIVIDUAL IZATION- Man in health and man in disease? Personalities of the individuals with respect to their healthy state and change in personality of each individual under the influence of diseases? b. MATERIA MEDICA- The change in personality of each individual under the influence of each individual drug? (4) REPERTORY- Do we dare to put forth efforts to choose proper remedy according to its adaptability to the disease personality as per discipline of the Homoeopathy? (5) PHARMACY AND PHARMAC OLOGY- Do we know about the sources of drug substances, methods of preparation of the medicines and about the proper doses? (6) POSOLOGY- Do we know how to decide precisely when to repeat the dose? (7) SECOND PRESCRIPTION - Do we know how to decide when it is proper time for the second prescription? (8) RECORD KEEPING - Do we keep proper record of each individual patient so that we may keep proper track on the progress and the changes taking place under our concern of each individual patient? (9) CAUSA OCCASIONALIS - Do we have knowledge regarding patients need for supplements like vitamins, minerals, electrolytes, fluids etc. and how to balance them in emergency? (10) DIET AND REGIMEN - Do we understand how to manage the case, with respect to the mode of diet, mode of living and the precautions to be observed so that the recovery may be faster? DRAWBACKS FROM THE PATIE NT'S PART The patient is notalways faithful with physician. Here some questions can be put out to conclude(1) Does the patient have full faith in treating physician? (2) Is the patient satisfied with qualification and achievements of the physician? (3) Is the patient able to understand his sufferings well and correctly interprets them in words so that the physician may make clear and right picture of the sufferings of the patient in his mind? (4) Is the language of the patient intelligible and palatable to the physician? (5) Is the patient fair and reveals all the facts and secrets about the sufferings to the physician? (6) Does the patient inform correctly about his past and family history? (7) Does the patient follows the instructions of the doctor faithfully and takes the medicine punctually as per advice of the physician and follow dietary restrictions if any? (8) Does the patient make punctual and regular follow-ups?

These are some important ones among myriad other questions, which require immense fascination to increase ones expertise in science of Homoeopathy. We should have thorough knowledge of different types of personalities, constitutions and temperaments.

CONSTITUTIONS AND HOMOEOPATHYARTICLE OUTLINE

Key Terms- Constitution- Miasms- Temperaments- Types of Temperaments, Their Features, Miasmatic and remedial analysis, as well as their different combinations.CONSTITUTION

A person's constitution is made up of physical body and the physiological processes within it which are genetically based.GRAVOUGLS CLASSIFICATION OF CONSTITUTIONS

Gravougl classified the constitution on the theory of excess or deficiency of certain elements in the tissues and blood. He postulated that every tissue breathes, lungs are the gate-ways and blood is the carrier. The tissues are ultimate recipients of oxygen taken in by the exchanges of gases inside the lungs. He classified them in three groupsHYDROGENOID CONSTITU TION

It is characterized by the excess of Hydrogen and consequently water in tissues and blood. It corresponds to Hahnemanns Sycosis but in wider range. Periodicity and intermittent fevers come within its domain. He speaks of Thuja as the king remedy for Hydrogenoid constituition.OXYGENOID CONSTITUTI ON

It is characterized by the excess of Oxygen and exaggerated influence of Oxygen on the organism. It corresponds to Syphilis. Ulcers and chancres come within its domain.CARBO-NITROGENOID CONSTITU TION

It is characterized by the excess of Carbon and Nitrogen in tissues and blood of the organism. It corresponds to Psora. To understand these clearly, we must first learn about the so called Miasms.

MIASM

Miasms are the factors which work as inductors as well as catalysts to the reactions normally or abnormally occurring inside a living body. They may behave like inductive factors to induce an abnormal reaction, or to alter a normally occurring reaction either positively or negatively. In any of these conditions, miasms may disbalance the normal healthy equilibrium and initiate a disease process. This disease process continues to result in gross pathological changes i.e. alteration in the structures, functions and the termination of the body. Origin of disease can be separated into two categories1. The exciting and fundamental causesand 2. The susceptibility of the physical constitution Both are very closely related to each other. It is necessary for a homoeopath to understand the nature of theexciting causes of acute diseases as well as the underlyingfundamental cause of long lasting diseases, which is usually due tothe chronic miasms. Acute diseases are self-limiting disorderswhich have quick onsets, rapid progressions, and a tendency todevelop an immediate crisis. Many of these acute diseases areactually acute exacerbations of the chronic states latent within the constitution that have been aroused by exciting factors. The nature of chronic miasmatic disease is slow and insidious in its onset and gradual in its progression. These negative transformations gradually increase until they bring on complex pathologies that eventually are the cause of premature old age and death. The chronic miasms are the effects of infections or mutations that are non-self-limiting which cause considerable damage to the immune system, the vital force, and the constitution. Hahnemann taught that the susceptibility to the exciting factors lies in the fundamental cause which is attributed to the chronic miasms.

TYPES OF MIASMS

They areFUNDAMENTAL MIASMS -

1. PSORA-

It badly alters the natural reactions of a constitution tending to produce irritation, inflammation, and hypersensitivity.

2. SYCOSIS-

It badly initiates and catalyzes constructive reactions tending to produce infiltrations, indurations, and over growths.

3. SYPHILIS-

It badly initiates and catalyzes destructive reactions tending towards degeneration and ulceration.

MIXED MIASMS-

4. PSEUDO-PSORA- It is the combination of Psora and Syphilis and badly catalyzes constructive as well as destructive reactions tending towards tubercles, fibrosis and suppuration. It is also called as Tubercular miasm.5. CANCEROUS-

It is the combination of all the three basic miasms and leads to the formation of worst forms of diseases, containing physiological mutations, deepest destructions and uncontrolled, unwanted growths.

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS O F MIASMS-

Each of the chronic miasms has its own characteristic signs that are an integral part of the totality of the symptoms. For example:Physical constitution -

tends to make the organism toxic, the skin unhealthy, and perverts the functions of the digestive and eliminative organs.PSORA PSEUDO-PSORA

tends to produce pipe stem bones, narrow chests, sunken cheeks and

sparkling eyes. tends to cause heavy bones, water retention, over growth of tissue like gynaecomastia, hirsutism and slow metabolism.SYCOSIS

tends to cause congenital defects, asymmetrical bony structure, deformed teeth and the classic bull dog face.SYPHILIS Temperament-

is full of pseudo-scientific, philosophical, political, religious ideas. They are selfexpressive, talkative, and self-deceptive and may think they are full of genius yet seem foolish and impractical to others.PSORA

is romantic, erotic, social, extroverted, cosmopolitan, erratic, optimistic, yet dissatisfied and always wants to change places, jobs, mates, etc.PSEUDO-PSORA

is pessimistic, a hard realist, skeptical (Doubtful), secretive, suspicious, jealous and has fixed ideas and hidden self-disgust.SYCOSIS

has a mixture of madness and genius with a deep sense of irony that leads to obsession with death and destruction. They become guilty, self-destructive, and end in idiocy, insanity or suicide.SYPHILIS PainsPSORA

pains are itchy, crawling, tickling, and burning

PSEUDO-PSORA pains are neuralgic, sharp, piercing, twisting, and stitching. SYCOSIS

pains are sudden, intense, spasmodic, crampy and colicky.

SYPHILIS pains are lacking for the condition present or are deep, aching, agonizing, and esp.
