Homoeopathy is an outcome in the 18th century, a crucial period in the field of medicine. Dr Samuel Hahnemann, a German allopathic physician, discovered the system of homoeopathy in 1796. Since then for last two centuries, the system of medicine has been in service for combating diseases and curing the sick.
Science of homoeopathy considers health, disease and cure in the parlance of dynamism i.e. a spirit as part of the eternal force that governs the universe and keeps the earth and other planets running round the sun and regulates the human organism. It partakes in health, disease and cure process. Presence of this force in man is life, absence is death; a harmonious play is health and abnormal play is disease. It functions in terms of symptoms and signs, indicating the disease.
Human being is an independent living unit on the earth, being connected to its surrounding dynamically (invisible forces), physically, mechanically and reciprocating proportionately, to maintain the equilibrium for its goods health, which is an in-built instinct. Disproportionate interaction, affection and susceptibility of man prepares the soil for development of disease, (when it exceeds thresh-hold), in terms of morbid symptoms and signs.
As disease is the compilation of perceptible group of symptoms and signs, so also extenuation of collected symptoms quite in a natural way is the cure. Discovery of therapeutic law of nature by Hahnemann is the right answer for natural cures.
Drug is a substance having medicinal property in it. Drug substances are processed to make them suitable for human use. Under the homoeopathic system, drug is a mathematics- mechanical process for enraging the inner lying quality of the drug by splitting the drug molecule, so that the penetrability of the drug reality increases.
After the disease is extinguished dynamically, the organism gains a scope of recovering the loss incurred in the devastations of disease procedure during the period of convalescence leading to cure.
No doubt homoeopathy is the most natural healing therapy. It must be operated scientifically in an artistic way. A good device is legitimately employed to yield its best result. Homoeopathy fraternity must be skilled enough to prove the efficacy over other system.
