Blood Sugar

If the blood sugar is very high the priority is to control the elevated blood sugar to save him from life threatening complications. There are homeopathic remedies, called organopathic remedies that could reduce the sugar. The commonly used one are Uranium Nitricum, Phosphoric Acid, Syzygium Jambolanum, Gymnema sylvestre and Cephalandra Indica. These are used in physiologically active doses such as Mother tincture or 3x, depending up on the level of the blood sugar and the requirement of the patient. Another approach is to understand the profile of the patient through a patho- physiological profiling through a detailed case taking and then select a constitutional remedy. This is a unique concept in homeopathy. For this one has to take a detailed history of the patient, his personal, family history, past history, emotions, individual preference, likings, dislikes, sleep, reactions at physical and mental levels and so are taken and arrive at the individualizing features of the pati...

Chronic miasm - By Master EK

The presence of anger, hatred, malice, insomnia, disinclination to work, worry, despondency and   unaccountable fear indicates the presence of such a chronic disease that would kill the patient when neglected for decades. A chronic disease always exists in the formof a psychological distortion producing an abnormal behaviour without any   disease at all in its beginning stage. At this stage we can gather the mental symptoms and the modalities of the patient and select a medicine to be used for a prolonged period of time. Then it is quite easy to make a permanent cure of the miasm and save the patient   from allthe consequences. Instead, if the doctor cannot understand the   psychological abnormalities as the basic form of disease.Then time passes and the tissues and the functions are affected when it is incurable. We should repeatedly remember that the chronic diseases of Psora, Sycosis and Syphilis exist only as the background di...

Is treatment in the right direction? By Master EK

1. See if the selected remedy has the same totality of symptoms as that of the patient for whom it is   selected.Select the dilution in accordance with the depth, intensity  and speed of the disease. Decide the interval between two doses according to the principles laid down.  2. Observe the changes that are taking place in thepatient : a) If the disease symptoms are disappearing  graduallyand if the patient is getting stronger and feeling better about his everything, you can understand that the treatment is running on ideal lines. b) If the symptoms are worse, but the patient is better (getting out of his debility and finding himself betterwith his activity) also understand that the treatment is  running in right lines. c) If the symptoms are disappearing (or becoming vague) and the patient is getting weaker, it means the treatment has taken a   wrong direction. d) If the symptoms are gaining strength or new symptoms are cropping up and...

Nature of symptoms and grouping in Homeopathy - By Master EK

Hahnemann gave us a method of groupingthe symptoms and we are expected to know something about it. The first group of symptoms is called common symptoms , the second group is called modalities , the third group is called mental   symptoms . The first group of symptoms is common to all patients but the second and the third groups distinguish the patients . Hence they are called the distinguishing symptoms or the individualising symptoms. Medicines can be selected for patients on the  basis of individualisation, that is with the help of the distinguishing symptoms No one should select medicine forcommon symptoms Treatment is to the patient and not at all to thediseases according to the first aphorism of Hahnemann. Examples of Common Symptoms : Headache, body pains,colic and lumbago are sufferings that come under one category. Simply they are all “pains”- that is all. Pains, shooting pain, burning, smarting, pin-pricks, shock-like pain...

Homeo Medicine Potency & repitition guidelines - By Master EK

Homoeopathic medicines are prepared in dilutions. Selection of the remedy is the first half of the doctor’s task. Selecting the required potency and understanding the method to repeat the dose makes the second half. Homoeopathic philosophy is definite and precise about the selection, potency and repetition of the dose in the case of each patient. If we administer the medicine in a lower or a higher dilution than required, it disturbs the patient with equal discomfort. Always the harm is same. Even a well indicated, well selected remedy proves useless when used in a wrong potency. We have before us, the guidance in the form of the well-established principles of the pioneers like Samuel Hahnemann and J.T.Kent.   It is wise to pick up these principles with a tight grip and walk along the footsteps of these pioneers. Some of the principles are as follows: 1. When the disease is indicated by symptoms that are only physical, then we are expected to use the medicines in low dilution...

Excerpts from Science of Homeopathy - By Master EK

It is the patient who is important and not at all the disease. Study the trend of things under which he has become a patient. It is foolish to believe that there exists something like a disease different from the changes that occur in the behaviour of the various levels of the constitution.  The changes that occur in a patient are of two types: Changes in behaviour Changes in the parts of the body. Changes in behaviour include two parts :  The behaviour of the vital force The behaviour of one’s own nature. The behaviour of the vital force is the pulsation that causes respiration, circulation, heart-beat, digestion, assimilation, alimentation, elimination, etc.  One’s own nature includes the type of  thinking, understanding others,   reading, writing,analysing, sorting out, allocating, liking and disliking, It also includes the functions of the senses. The capacity to understand and interpret also comes under this. Health is the natural state of affa...
