HOMEOPATHY: AN INTRO TO BLISS

Homeopathy is a medical science discovered by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843), a German allopathic physician. Homeopathy is based on the principle “Law of similimum” which was earlier acknowledged by the Hippocrates (400 B.C.), however was implemented and established by Dr. Hahnemann as a systemic knowledge and practice. He discovered the law of action of medicine by testing small doses on himself. He took 4 drams of raw cinchona officinalis (Peruvian bark), which was being used for the treatment of malaria, orally and observed the symptoms similar to that of malaria. By this he established the principle “Law of similimum”. 

Human body is made up of combination of mind, body and spirit, which is called Vital Force. The Vital Force directs the different organs or parts of the body to undertake various biochemical processes in a harmonious way. This is the energy that sustains the dynamic life.

Whenever body comes in contact with any harmful agent, harmony of Vital Force disturbs. Repeated exposure to these harmful agents may deeply affect this dynamic energy, resulting in disease, however, it is subject to strength and frequency of agent with respect to strength of vital force.   

For example; virus, bacteria and other infectious agents are present everywhere even in our mouth or gut but couldn’t affect human body till vital energy is strong. Also every individual don’t get easily affected by the change in the temperature, or by pollen or by any stress. Only those individual get affected by these harmful stimuli or agents, whose Vital Force is weak. This way a disease originates from a disturbance of the individual's "vital force." 

A diseased vital force express, itself, outwardly through collection of signs and symptoms like headache, skin eruptions etc. This collection helps in finding the aspect of internal vital derangement. Here comes the role of homeopathy in healing the diseased Dynamic Force. A homeopathic medicine is prescribed on this collection of signs and symptoms keeping in view the minuteness of the medicine and medicine which is parallel to signs and symptoms of the patient. When this medicine is taken orally, it stimulates body’s own natural healing process by giving thrust to the vital energy. This vital energy now removes the malady and rejuvenates itself. By this approach homeopathy works.  

So, we can safely say that homeopathy is science to restore health through homeostasis power of human body.
