Ever wondered why some people appear more healthy while others seem stuggling to keep up?
Some entirely dependent on the medicines so much so that it even doesn’t strike them as if they are running on medications. My dear friend ! There is the point where you need a Holistic approach like Homeopathy to help. The past 15 years as a Doctor as A Homeopathic Practitioner has taught me something which our books don’t. Respect all the systems of medicine and every case is Individual so must be the treatment as and when required; no bias.
We learn that there are allergens so few people are allergic and standard Modern treatment is ?? Anti- allergics. Similarly, there are many microbes in the air, few get infected and standard Modern treatment is?? Anti-biotics.
If I start this disease and medicine chain, it is going to take forever.
So, coming to the point, what is that difference in individuals?
To be very precise and scientific, if anything is called allergen and same medicine is being prescribed for all the allergens and allergics, why its not affecting everyone? Why someone is allergic to pollen, other to damp, wheat, milk etc and many are not ? Why not everyone coming in contact with the patient gets sick, even when contagious disease? This is Individualization and here is Homoeopathy to help.
To be very clear, as a doctor I am not against any medical field. Its not a criticism, it’s sheer point-making. Offcourse in case of emergency like a rapid anaphylaxis condition, one must approach anti-anaphylatic mode. Sudden severe accidents need urgent Modern Care because life-saving comes first over maintaining it well during life-threatening conditions, and there is our limitation. A good Doctor knows his/her limitation. No boasting, no shaming, only the Good will for the patient.
Homoeopathy has one strong rockstone theory -“Every individual is different, so is every case”, basically it’s “A Customised Plan of Treatment”, specifically and specially designed for every individual. This theory of individualisation explains it all, why someone is comparatively healthier while others are miserable. Few people are prone to be very sensitive to external impressions like allergens, and few are easily infected with certain microbes. While initially Modern Medicine gives quick relief but fails to sustain it, whereas Homoeopathy helps the patient to improve gradually and maintain the healthy state for a longer duration. Homoeopathic treatment is Holistic in approach; it’s not merely symptom or disease-specific. The detailed case helps us to understand the nature of an individual’s mental and physical response to certain conditions. Since no two individuals are the same, neither aren’t their responses, even when in the same or similar situations. In homoeopathy, we choose the medicines according to this Individual tendency, or you may call it Individual susceptibility.
To understand it in a better way, we can cite an example of two individuals, both allergic to eggs, and both tend to have itching in response to them. One might be severely allergic, so that even a bite of egg leads to severe itching, while another one is mildly allergic and develops itching after having 2-3 whole eggs. In Homoeopathy, medicine will vary for both cases. By any chance, if we deduce to a common medicine in both cases, then the potency of the medicine will vary and the dosage too, unlike other systems of medicine where the medicines are purely disease specific. This unique approach helps us improve the health of an individual in the long term, by not suppressing the allergy but helping the Individual to cope with it in a better way.
It does not propose that it works slow, it works according to case, if acute, the effect of Homeopathic medicine will be fast, if prescribed correctly; while in chronic cases or cases with hidden pictures of past medications may take little longer.
In Homoeopathy, we do have a detailed Case taking, so a picture is formed of what all things bother a patient as a whole. The more details and open conversation, the better picture of an Individual is formed, given certain lifestyle, diet and regime. Medicines, along with a modified lifestyle helps you get better health. In acute cases, the case is more focused on the present symptoms and the source of the complaints, so it’s a brief Case Taking and helps you get relief faster.
The detailed case in chronic or recurring complains help us derive at most suitable medicine, which is given to the patient and the process of better immunity starts gradually and ultimately providing a long lasting relief.
So next time, you see someone solely dependant on certain medications, to combat allergies or recurrent infections or even the systemic/metabolic disorders, don’t forget to see a homeopathic doctor and help them improve their life.
Remember, a healthy you is a joint effort where you, yourself are the driver and we as doctor are the guides just like your GPS to reach your health goals.
