WHY
CLASSICAL HOMEOPATHY? |
By
Peggy Elliott, H.M.A.
Homeopathy is the fastest growing form of alternative medicine in
the world today.
When treating any ailment, the homeopathic approach is essentially
a “constitutional” and “individualistic treatment“.
In simple words, no two persons suffering are alike; hence they
call for individual case attention. When I say “individual”
it implies, in other popular wording, “the patient as a whole”
or “the patient as a person“, not a disease. Indeed,
this approach is absolutely scientific and amazingly effective.
Any condition, (headache, skin rash, digestion problems, etc.) is
not exclusively a local disorder. It is a local expression of a
generalized body state. For example, it may be either due to a nutrition
deficiency, stress, lack of sleep, etc. (which is also a part of
the whole system). Having said this, one clearly understands that
treatment should not be with any local medication with creams or
tonics. It has to be at the “whole individual” level.
The homeopathic treatment is determined after evaluation of the
patient's case in a great detail. The case-study is the most vital
part of the treatment, whereby various aspects of the patient's
life-style, personality, food-habits, emotional make-up, personal
and the family history are evaluated appropriately to decide on
the correct homeopathic medicine. As the entire constitution (physical,
emotional, and mental) of the patient is evaluated in a systematic
manner, the homeopathic treatment is called the “constitutional
treatment“. The constitutional treatment helps the body's
own healing mechanism, and enhances the body's self-recovery capacity,
hence leading to a long term cure.
