Homeopathy’s
greatness can be understood if one just goes through the Homeopathic Maeria
Medica. One often finds words like TENDENCY, SUSCEPTIBILITY and PREDISPOSITION to a particular
disease or condition; also DIATHESIS, which also means the same
thing. When one analyses these deeply
and carefully, one realizes more often than not they are chronic and genetic in
origin. When it is said a remedy can
cure a tendency, it means that the particular remedy is capable of acting genetically
and root out the tendency and disease.
Lots of money is being spent on Genetic Medicine. But we already have a system which has the
ability to tackle genetic conditions. Is
it not wonderful?
I
plan to reproduce from the Homeopathic Materia Medica such tendencies and the
remedies that could tackle them, provided the symptoms match.
It
is better here to keep in mind, aphorism
153 of Hahnemann’s Organon of Medicine, which in essence is as follows:
…the
MORE STRIKING, SINGULAR, UNCOMMON AND PECULIAR (characteristic) signs and
symptoms of the case of disease are chiefly and most solely to be kept in view;
for it is MOREPARTICULARLY THESE THAT VERY SIMILAR ONES IN THE LIST OF SYMPTOMS
OF THE SELECTED MEDICINE MUST CORRESPOND TO, in order to constitute it the most
suitable for effecting the cure. …
So
what is a symptom? What is RARE,
UNCOMMON, PECULIAR, MORE STRIKING and
STRANGE is a symptom. So matching
purposes, let us not confuse pathological or clinical symptoms.
Here
is the first one:
INCREASED SUSCEPTIBILITY TO COLD-
The
remedy for this could be ACETANILIDUM. A moment of
caution. This susceptibility or tendency
to take cold is there in some other medicines also. So we have more than one remedy for tackling
the Tendency to take cold.
