VIEWS FROM HOMOEOPATHY ON VIEWS FROM HOMOEOPATHY ON INFECTIOUS DISEASES EPIDEMICINFECTIOUS DISEASES EPIDEMIC

ORIGIN OF HOMOEOPATHYORIGIN OF HOMOEOPATHY

Homoeopathy's roots emerge from the Homoeopathy's roots emerge from the findings, teachings and writings of Dr. findings, teachings and writings of Dr. Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843). Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843). Hahnemann graduated from medical school Hahnemann graduated from medical school in 1779 and started his own medical in 1779 and started his own medical practice. He soon began his first practice. He soon began his first homoeopathic experiments in 1790, as a homoeopathic experiments in 1790, as a result of his disillusionment with such result of his disillusionment with such common medical practices of the day as common medical practices of the day as purging, bloodletting, and the use of toxic purging, bloodletting, and the use of toxic chemicals. chemicals.

At one point, he gave up his own daily At one point, he gave up his own daily practice to work as a chemist. while practice to work as a chemist. while translating medical texts, he began a translating medical texts, he began a project to translate William Cullen's project to translate William Cullen's Materia Medica into German.While Materia Medica into German.While working on this project, he became working on this project, he became fascinated with a species of South fascinated with a species of South American tree-bark (cinchona) which was American tree-bark (cinchona) which was being used to treat malaria-induced fever.being used to treat malaria-induced fever.

Hahnemann ingested the bark and Hahnemann ingested the bark and discovered that it caused symptoms similar discovered that it caused symptoms similar to malaria. He continued his research into to malaria. He continued his research into "cures" and the idea of "similar suffering," "cures" and the idea of "similar suffering," and began compiling his findings. Similia and began compiling his findings. Similia similibus curentur, the Latin phrase similibus curentur, the Latin phrase meaning "let likes be cured by likes," is the meaning "let likes be cured by likes," is the primary principle of homoeopathy. A primary principle of homoeopathy. A homoeopath searches for a substance that homoeopath searches for a substance that produces in a healthy person those same produces in a healthy person those same symptoms a patient experiences.symptoms a patient experiences.

DEFINITION OF VITAL FORCE DEFINITION OF VITAL FORCE BY Dr. HAHNEMANN BY Dr. HAHNEMANN

As mentioned earlier, homoeopathic medicines are able to As mentioned earlier, homoeopathic medicines are able to increase the immunity of our body. But how is this increase the immunity of our body. But how is this possible?. A homoeopathic physician makes a possible?. A homoeopathic physician makes a homoeopathic prescription through the holistic approach homoeopathic prescription through the holistic approach by considering the totality of symptoms manifested in a by considering the totality of symptoms manifested in a patient. These include the mental, emotional spiritual and patient. These include the mental, emotional spiritual and physical peculiarities of a patient and also the uncommon physical peculiarities of a patient and also the uncommon peculiar signs and symptoms of the manifestations of the peculiar signs and symptoms of the manifestations of the disease in each patient. The same disease has different disease in each patient. The same disease has different manifestations in different individuals because the extent manifestations in different individuals because the extent of damage to the immunity and other functions in the body of damage to the immunity and other functions in the body are different in different individuals. These manifestations are different in different individuals. These manifestations represent the corresponding reflection of their inner represent the corresponding reflection of their inner abnormality, which is hidden from our perception. Hence, abnormality, which is hidden from our perception. Hence, a Homoeopathic physician gets hold of the hidden interior a Homoeopathic physician gets hold of the hidden interior through perceivable expressions like the totality of through perceivable expressions like the totality of symptoms of the patient, by looking the patient as a whole. symptoms of the patient, by looking the patient as a whole.

Significance of Homeopathy in Significance of Homeopathy in epidemicsepidemics

In a country as large as ours, the In a country as large as ours, the occurrence of epidemic is not infrequent occurrence of epidemic is not infrequent and they usually spread like wild fire and they usually spread like wild fire creating chaos. And it is in this chaos that creating chaos. And it is in this chaos that homeopathy hopes to restore order. When homeopathy hopes to restore order. When there arises situations where the cause of there arises situations where the cause of the disease appears to be an enigma and the disease appears to be an enigma and every other system of medicine is clueless every other system of medicine is clueless regarding what preventive / curative regarding what preventive / curative medicine is to be given, homeopathy has medicine is to be given, homeopathy has been able to solve the problem.been able to solve the problem.

Even when in the course of the epidemic there Even when in the course of the epidemic there can be changes in the strains of the causative can be changes in the strains of the causative organism and the new drug cannot be found out organism and the new drug cannot be found out in time, homeopathy can overcome the crises. in time, homeopathy can overcome the crises. This is possible because unlike the commonly This is possible because unlike the commonly used medicines, which are directed towards the used medicines, which are directed towards the destruction of causative organisms, homeopathic destruction of causative organisms, homeopathic medicines aim to improve the immune system of medicines aim to improve the immune system of the individual. Here the basis of selection of the individual. Here the basis of selection of remedy is not dependent upon the nature of remedy is not dependent upon the nature of organism, but on the signs and symptoms of the organism, but on the signs and symptoms of the diseased individual.diseased individual.

The age old adage \\ prevention is better than The age old adage \\ prevention is better than cure" holds good here. When few cases of cure" holds good here. When few cases of epidemic diseases are studied carefully in all epidemic diseases are studied carefully in all their aspects a single medicine can be selected their aspects a single medicine can be selected which will correspond with the characteristic which will correspond with the characteristic symptoms of the disease as well as that of the symptoms of the disease as well as that of the patient. Homeopathy gives importance not only patient. Homeopathy gives importance not only to the symptoms of the disease but also that to the symptoms of the disease but also that peculiar symptoms exhibited by the patients peculiar symptoms exhibited by the patients and that is why they differ even when the and that is why they differ even when the disease is the same. The climatic conditions disease is the same. The climatic conditions during the time of epidemic also plays role in during the time of epidemic also plays role in remedy selection.remedy selection.

In epidemics of such nature that are In epidemics of such nature that are transmitted only through bites of infected transmitted only through bites of infected insects, the most important preventive insects, the most important preventive step is vector control. However due to step is vector control. However due to practical problems like large population, practical problems like large population, poverty, poor hygiene and lack of man poverty, poor hygiene and lack of man power this becomes a long drawn power this becomes a long drawn procedure. Hence the best solution is to procedure. Hence the best solution is to administer preventive medicines in the administer preventive medicines in the fastest and the most extensive way.fastest and the most extensive way.
