"When you treat a disease , first treat the mind"

A very happy doctor's day to all the Indian Doctor's who work hard and help us in our health problems.

National Doctor's Day is observed to honour the legendary physician and West Bengal's second Chief Minister, Dr. Bidhan Chandra Roy whose birth and death anniversary coincides in the same day. This day pay tribute to the whole medical profession and to highlight the value of doctors in our lives. In 1991, the National Doctor's Day was established by the Central Government to be recognised and observed every year on 1 July to pay honour Dr. Bidhan Chandra Roy.

As an upcoming doctor , no , let me correct myself  , as an upcoming homoeopathic doctor , I had to write something on this day . So I thought what could be a better topic than homoeopathy itself .

There are two main and very important principles of homoeopathy . One is man as a whole and second one is the individualistic approach . Let's discuss them in brief.

Man as a whole :

Unlike other systems of medicine, Homoeopathy does not look at the diseased person in parts, i.e. it does not give different medicines for headache and stomachache to the same person. Instead it gives one medicine for the whole individual.It is being increasingly acknowledged these days that the mind and body are inter-linked. We now see the rapid rise of the holistic concept of disease with an emphasis on its psychosomatic and psychosocial aspects.

The body is born as one, functions as one and reacts as one. It is unity. When affected by sickness, it reacts as a whole. The symptoms which represent this reaction are found all over the body and also in the patient’s mental state. Thus, if we want to get a true and complete picture of the sickness, we must not only consider the chief complaint of the patient, but also the symptoms of all parts of the body and the mind. All troubles of the patient arise from one basic disorder. Homoeopathy gives one single medicine to the patient and not a separate one for each of his body parts. This single medicine affects the whole individual and treats all his troubles.

Individualisation:

No two persons are alike. Similarly, no two persons react alike in sickness. Though suffering from the same ailment, the symptoms of one person may differ completely from the symptoms of another. Homoeopathy being a holistic science (treating man as a whole) considers everything in a person right from the chief complaint to his reactive pattern, to his state of mind and the experience with this complaint. As a result, everything that sets apart the suffering individual from another person having the same complaint is studied and analyzed. The prescription is then based on the entire portrait of the suffering person rather than the manifest symptoms for which he approaches the doctor.
Disease is not an entity. Disease is a personal event. If we split disease in two , it will become dis-ease meaning to be "Not at ease" , which easily makes it clear that the person is not at ease . It is not like if there is any structural change or any infection or anything in the body that is substituted as a disease , any mental stress , any dis-ease in the mental health can be subjected as a disease . It consists of the individual himself. There are as many different diseases as the patients. 

The science of man is the most difficult of all sciences… The physician’s role is to discover characteristics of the sick man’s individuality. He must study the individual as well as the disease. Medicine has to take into account the nature of man, of his unity, and of his uniqueness.

The physicians must enter a different world. They must use the expedient of indiscriminately applying their scientific knowledge to each patient. But they do not really fulfill their duty unless they discover the specific peculiarities of each patient. Their success depends not only on their knowledge, but also on their ability to grasp the characteristics which make each human being an individual”.
There is a healer within ourselves . Whenever that healer or that force is altered or get deranged , our minimal dose just helps it to enhances it a little bit .No one has been able to explain how medicines can act when diluted to enormous limits. Yet, the potencies are found to act very powerfully.
 I not only have faith in homoeopathy , I fully from the deep core of my heart believe that homoeopathy is a very good science and people who don't believe in it , must try it once .
 I have tried my level best to make this blog as easy to understand for the non homoeopathy people . Tell me in the comments , what you think.
