Constitutional Homeopathic treatment in chronic disease :
Classical constitutional homeopathy refers to the treatment of a person as a whole, including past & present symptoms and family history. The person goes through a detailed case study after which the sum total of symptoms is arrived at. Then a process of ‘repertorization’ is done which is interlinked with various aspects of Principles of Organon. The end result is a constitutional remedy for that particular case. This remedy has to be further studied and a miasmically indicated remedy must be prescribed. In other words Homeopathy aims to treat the whole person. At any given time only one remedy should be given to the patient, the one that has the greatest similarity to his disease. This is one of the important laws of Homeopathy by Dr Hahnemann-Law of Similimum.

Homeopathic treatment in acute conditions :
Homeopathy has often been dismissed as a solution for acute medical conditions. In fact, the response to one dose of Homeopathic medicine in many acute conditions like a diarrhea or fever is remarkable. Action of an indicated medicine is rapid, gentle and safe. It is important for a Homeopathic physician to know when and where acute medication can be best employed. Patients may report strange or very unusual behavior during acute illnesses. These symptoms are often the most important in arriving at the correct treatment. Other than physical symptoms, mental and emotional behavior of a patient are noted by the Homeopath to prescribe a medicine.

Homeopathy as a preventive medicine:
Preventive use of homeopathy (called homeo-prophylaxis) was first applied in 1799 during an epidemic of scarlet fever in Königslütter, Germany, when Dr. Hahnemann prescribed a single dose of Belladonna, as the remedy of the epidemic genius to susceptible children in the town with 100% success. Homeopathy emphasises more on preventive mechanism by energizing the body’s immune system so that the defense mechanism is strengthened, allowing the individual to fight back his illness. Prevention is better than cure!
