Here are Few questions which every homoeopath gets to answer atleast once in their lifetime.
How Homoeopathy medicines are prepared?
How does Homoeopathy work?
Is Homoeopathy a placebo effect?
Why homoeopaths don't show prescription?
Why homoeopaths only prescribe one remedy?
What is constitutional medicine in homoeopathy?
Why homoeopaths don't prescribe same medicines for the two patients who are suffering from same disease?
Why homoeopaths ask many questions to patients?
So these are the most asked questions.
I have answered to few of these questions in my previous blogs. I will explain to someother questions like how medicines are prescribed by homoeopaths.
In homoeopathy there are many laws and principles which we have to follow every single time we prescribe medicine to a patient.
Taking case is itself a strenuous process for the homoeopaths in their early days of practice. Even if they are experienced practitioners every case is a new case for them also sometimes even with experience of 30 years they stumble upon few cases which they feel difficult to cure. It happens for everyone in their practice.
Every case is a new case for homoeopaths and every case teaches a new thing for homoeopaths. Homoeopaths are constant learners in their profession.
Homoeopathic physicians asks many questions to the patients. Sometimes patients wouldn't like to share their personal stuff in their intial visits. So it becomes difficult for the physician to assess the constitution of the patients. Hence the choosing of remedy becomes difficult and the recovery of the patient becomes delayed.
Homoeopaths ask many questions because they want to know your constitution. Constitution of every person is different. Your physical and mental makeup comes under your constitution. Your physical symptoms and also mental symptoms are considered equally in any disease condition in homoeopathy.
Your appetite,thirst, perspiration, your likes and dislikes,sleeping time position, kind of dreams you get and so on are very important in homoeopathic case taking.
The way you talk, whether you are introvert or extrovert, your intellect, any kind of phobia you have, any kind of mental trauma you had in childhood etc are very important for homoeopaths to know you in depth.
By knowing you inside out homoeopaths can get to know your constitution more deeply and will be able to describe medicines more accurately.
Homoeopaths prescribe only one remedy at one time because only one is enough if the chosen remedy is the similimum ( the most similar remedy to the patient).In homoeopathy you don't prescribe medicine to disease but to a person who is suffering. So irrespective of how many symptoms you have homoeopaths prescribe only one remedy. As they are prescribing medicine to that person but not to the disease or symptoms maximum one remedy does all the work for them. Physicians will change potencies and remedies in your follow ups but they only give one at one time. When you get prescribed more than one remedy the symptoms of medicine appear and they dominate the disease symptoms. This can usually happen in any system of medicine.
As the homoeopathic medicines are exclusively prescribed for that one particular person with that peculiar constitution so the medicine can't be taken by the other patient who is suffering from same disease or condition. Even though two different individuals are suffering from same disease they can't be given same medicine in homoeopathy. They might require two different remedies because their constitutions are different. Even if given same remedy sometimes the remedy might not work on that person. The symptoms of the patient have to be similar to the symptoms of the remedy. Even in common cold two different individuals might require two different remedies. I will give few examples of different constitutions. A person with cold will have icecream in that chilling weather and running nose. But the other person can't tolerate cold air at all during influenza they want everything hot and warm. In fever some prefer fan whereas some other doesn't. In arthritis some will have difficulty in intial motion , in some other people motion aggravates the symptoms. Some people are generally thirstless, they drink less water. While the other group of people have more water , they are thirsty. Some will gain weight easily even without having much food. They put on weight easily. While the other group of people never gain weight despite having good nutritious food. These few simple examples of different constitutions. These are very common comparisons. In case taking homoeopaths go much deeper into these kind of minute details.
Hope I have provided the good information regarding Homoeopathy. For more information I have explained few other areas of homoeopathy in my other old blogs please check them out if you are interested.
