Drug proving in Homoeopathy It is a systemic process of investigating the pathogenetic powers of drugs by administering them on healthy human beings of both sexes, all age groups and of different constitutions. Once the knowledge of how to investigate the disease i.e. knowledge of the diseases is acquired, the next duty of the physician is to prepare the reliable drug substances inorder to combat with the diseases in a safer way. This is the process of understanding the pathogenetic powers of the drugs (pathos suffering, genetic-producing). The only way to acquire this knowledge is by drug proving. Homeopathic drug proving is unique as it is done on healthy humans and also conducted with the dynamized drugs. In the past, many personalities like Paracelsus, Haler etc made an exhaustive study on drug proving methods. But only two persons in the medical history found the necessity of healthy human drug proving, one is Dr. Samuel Hahnemann and the other is "Albrecht von Ha...

Explanation of Aphorism 104 Importance of keeping case record. After accurately sketching the picture of disease, most difficult part is accomplished. This case record is mostly important in case of chronic diseases, as -  1. Physician has the record before him so as to guide him in treatment.  2. Changes occurred after medication can be known by making fresh record and comparing it with former.  3. Any new symptom which has occurred during the treatment can be added to it, and that which has faded off is cut or stricken. In footnote Dr. Hahnemann says that old school physician of his time do not maintain record of the case rather make a rapid prescription composed of variety of ingredients whose true effect is unknown to them. They neither listen to minute detail of suffering of the patient nor write them down. When the same patient returns to him after few days, he forgets what his exact suffering was as neither had he heard him carefully nor he had written ...

Explanation of Aphorism 103 In chronic diseases Psora should be investigated.  In case of epidemic diseases homoeopathic medicine pertaining to it could be found by observing several patients suffering from same epidemic. Similar is the case with chronic miasm Psora, which is so diversified in its manifestation that it requires several patients of different constitution and living under different conditions suffering from Psora to be observed carefully to know the complete range of symptoms it can produce. Only then a homoeopathic antipsoric medicine can be selected which can cure it. #Aphorism103

Explanation of Aphorism 102 Complete signs and symptoms of an epidemic can be known by observation of several patients.  Writing down symptoms of several cases of an epidemic completes the totality impregnating it with more peculiar, characteristics and excluding general symptoms like anorexia, insomnia etc.  Epidemically effected persons are affected by same cause and present more or less similar symptoms, but whole totality of epidemic cannot be known by mere observation of single patient as he will be presenting only part of symptoms in intense degree pertaining to his weaker part. Thereby, whole signs and symptoms of an epidemic can be known by perfectly deducing and abstracting suffering of several patients of different constitutions. In footnote Dr. Hahnemann says that physician who has already chosen homoeopathic remedy by observing first case of epidemic, on observing subsequent cases can-  1. Verify its suitableness or,  2. Discover more appropri...

Finding homoeopathic medicine in epidemic diseases.  Initially by having a first case of an epidemic, physician may not obtain complete picture of the epidemic rather by close observation of several such cases he comes to know regarding its totality and arrives at suitable homoeopathic remedy of that epidemic.  Dr. Hahnemann says that by close observation of even one or two such patients in an epidemic, physician can make an idea regarding the totality of it at the back of his mind which nearly matches reality.  Once homoeopathic medicine of an epidemic is found, it can also be used as preventive of that epidemic.

Decoding The Power of the Great Indian Squat (Malasana) Are you struggling with constipation? Have you been seated for too long?Tight hips? Sluggish digestion? Lower backache?Sciatica pains?and more?  Then the solution to this problem is Malasana, great Indian squat.  How it is done? In this asana, you spread your feet shoulder- width apart and hold your hands in namaskar mudra (prayer pose). Who should be careful while practicing Malasana? Contradictions: Avoid this asana if you have severe knee issues, especially surgery. Or seek guidance from a qualified teacher. Why it is called Malasana? Mala in Sanskrit means garland or rosary. However, some yoga schools dispute this translation. When pronounced with a long 'a' sound, it means garland, but when pronounced with a short 'a' sound, it translates to excrement.  This latter translation is considered the true origin of the pose name, as it resembles the squatting position used to eliminate waste. What are t...

Explanation of Aphorism 100 Investigating totality of epidemic and sporadic diseases.  Totality of epidemic or sporadic diseases should be made by keeping in mind that the calamity in hand is new one and similar calamity had never occurred in world except in cases of calamity of diseases of unchangeable character like small pox, measles etc.  Type of disease makes no difference in its investigation as well as treatment, even if the disease in hand is wholly or partially known because on careful investigation the disease comes out to be unique; claiming the nomenclature of diseases to be false unless it is of unchangeable character. #Aphorism100 #finally100

Explanation of Aphorism 99 Investigation of acute disease is easier.  Like chronic diseases, in acute disease which has been in existence for a short time physician has to know everything, but he has to enquire less as- 1. Change in state of health is still fresh in minds of patient and friends.  2. Changes that have occurred are striking in the case, being intensified.  3. Changes are spontaneously detailed to the physician. #Aphorism99

Explanation of Aphorism 98 Demands to be met in investigation of disease.  Patient's description of disease is to be given special place except malingers, as the complaints and sensation gets altered in mouths of attendants and friends.  In every disease especially chronic, for investigation of true and complete picture of disease following are required -  1. Special circumspection,  2. Tact,  3. Knowledge of human nature,  4. Cautiousness in conducting enquiry,  5. Great patience.   Dr. Hahnemann says to have 'Knowledge of human nature' which will help in forming true and complete picture of the disease. This knowledge can be known by study of Anthropology, Physiognomy, Psychology Graphology, etc.

Aphorism 97: Indolent patients Indolent patient are different than that of the hypochondriacs. They do not mention all the symptoms or describe them in vague terms due to -  1. Indolence,  2. False modesty,  3. Mildness of disposition,  4. Weakness of mind. #Aphorism97 #Indolentpatients

Explanation of Aphorism 96 Hypochondriac patient.  Disposition of patient varies greatly, some patients who -  1. Are very sensitive and impatient of their suffering.  2. Express their symptoms in flowery colour, to induce physician to give prompt relief. They are hypochondriacs.  In footnote Dr. Hahnemann says that unadulterated and unexaggerated symptoms could rarely be received from hypochondriacs. It can be known by comparing their suffering complained of at various times and it subsides by giving nothing medicated.  From their exaggeration of symptoms, exaggeration itself becomes an important feature in constituting portrait of disease-case is exactly different with insane and malingers. #Aphorism96

Aphorism 95 Explanation Lesser accessory symptoms.  Lesser accessory symptoms are those which are often characteristic of the case but patient overlooks it because -  1. Patient is used to his long suffering, thinking it to be part of his daily life.  2. While narrating his sufferings, he forgets to mention it as he feels it to be normal, being suffering from it for decades.  3. He feels that these deviations have no connection with his principal malady.  But, these are important symptoms as -  1. These symptoms are often meaningful and characteristic.  2. Useful in determining the remedy for the case. #Aphorism95

Explanation of Aphorism 94  Finding obstacle to recovery in daily circumstances.  In chronic diseases physician needs to find obstacle from daily circumstances of the patient which maintains his disease and on removal of which his recovery may be prompted. Obstacles could be -  • With regard to his daily occupation.  • Usual mode of living.  • Diet and regimen.  • Domestic situation etc.  In footnote Dr. Hahnemann put forward some symptoms of females which is required to be paid proper attention for proper treatment - • Pregnancy, sterility, sexual desire, accouchements, miscarriages, suckling, and the state of the menses.  • Menstrual discharge should not be neglected to be ascertained if it recurs at too short intervals, or is delayed beyond the proper time, how many days it lasts, whether its flow is continuous or interrupted, what is its general quality, how dark is its color, • • • • Whether there is leucorrhoea before its appeara...

Explanation of Aphorism 93 Obvious cause is to be elicited.  In diseases occurring due to some obvious cause, the patient, or his friend when questioned privately either mentions spontaneously or when interrogated tactfully speaks out the truth.  In footnote Dr. Hahnemann mentions about various obvious causes which patient hides from physician due to shame and shyness as any cause he feels to be of a disgraceful character -  #Poisoning or attempted suicide,  #Onanism,  #Indulgence in ordinary or unnatural debauchery, excess in wine, cordials, punch and other ardent beverages, or coffee, #Over-indulgence in eating generally, or in some particular food of a hurtful character, #Infection with venereal disease or itch, #Unfortunate love, jealousy, domestic infelicity, worry, grief on account of some family misfortune, ill-usage, balked revenge, injured pride, embarrassment of a pecuniary nature, superstitious fear, - hunger, #Or an imperfection in the pr...

Explanation of Aphorism 92 Conjoint malady.  In case of chronic diseases patient can be left with some unmedicated substance for some time, so that his actual symptoms appear enabling physician to form true portrait of the disease. But in acute diseases due to its severity and fear of eminent death, he cannot adopt the very process he adopts in chronic diseases rather he takes into account conjoint malady formed by features of original disease and medicinal action to form portrait of disease i.e. he only sees the present condition and prescribes for its totality.  If patient is given inappropriate drugs then condition becomes more serious and dangerous than the original disease, thereby requiring prompt relief; which end can be reached by taking into account conjoined malady, saving the patient to fall sacrifice to the injurious effect of drugs he has taken. 

Explanation of Aphorism 91 Symptoms appearing during course of medicine do not make true totality.  When patient is under course of medicine and some symptoms or altered feeling appears, it does not furnish true picture of disease as during that time the organism is under disease along with medicinal power. Thereby, symptoms appearing are due to collective action of disease and medicine going on within the organism - hence it is difficult to know which symptom is due to disease and which one is due to medicine.  Symptoms which were present before the use of medicines or has appeared after discontinuation of medicine for several days (when it is thought that medicinal action has been exhausted and the patient is apparently in his original diseased condition), are the ones which gives true fundamental idea of original disease which physician has to take note of.  In case of chronic diseases, when patient has been taking medicine up to the time he has seen the ph...

Explanation of Aphorism 90 Noting peculiarities in patient.  Having written all the particulars, physician himself observes peculiarities in the patient and ascertains how much was it peculiar to patient in his healthy state.  In footnote Dr. Hahnemann mentions that physician has to observe in the patient that which is most evident and peculiar in him-  How the patient behaved during the visit - whether he was morose, quarrelsome, hasty, lachrymose, anxious, despairing or sad, or hopeful, calm etc. Whether he was in a drowsy state or in any way dull of comprehension; whether he spoke hoarsely, or in a low tone, or incoherently, or how otherwise did he talk?  What was the color of his face and eyes and of his skin generally?  What degree of liveliness and power was there in his expression and eyes? .  What was the state of his tongue, his breathing, the smell from his mouth, and his hearing?  Were his pupils dilated or contracted? How rapidl...

Explained of Aphorism 89 Need of asking special questions.  When the patient has finished on his own accord his story of suffering and has answered to the questions of physician, but physician thinks that he had not made complete picture of disease then he is at liberty to ask some special questions.  Physician has to rely on patient for description of his sensation of suffering unless it is a case of malingering. Even feigned diseases can be diagnosed by close observation.  In footnote Dr. Hahnemann gives example of special questions, avoiding its frame to be suggestive in itself, like -  •How often are his bowels moved? What is the exact character of the stool? Did the whitish evacuation consist of mucus or faeces? Had he or had he not pains during the evacuation? What was their exact character, and where were they seated?  •What did the patient vomit? Is the bad taste in the mouth putrid, or bitter, or sour, or what? Before or after eating, or dur...

Explanation of Aphorism 88 Details lacking in voluntary narration can be asked.  In voluntary narration of the patient, if nothing important is mentioned regarding various parts or functions of body or mind, then physician has to inquire regarding the lacking detail. But, he should frame his questions in such a way that patient has to explain it in detail avoiding tag questions as already mentioned.  ► In footnote Dr. Hahnemann gives examples of framing of questions like -  1. What was the character of his stools?  2. How does he pass his water?  3. How is it with his day and night sleep?  4. What is the state of is disposition, his humour, his memory? 5. How about the thirst?  6.What sort of taste he has in his mouth? 7.What kinds of food and drink are most relished? 8. What are most repugnant to him? 9. Whether he has his full natural taste, or some other unusual taste?  10.How does he feel after eating or drinking? 11. Has he anythi...

Explanation of Aphorism 87 Physician should not ask tag questions.  After obtaining more precise information respecting each detail, without asking tag questions so that patient may not answer in affirmative or negative statement. He should not ask any suggestive question which has answer in itself as this answer could be misleading, either from indolence or in order to please his interrogator, from which a false picture of disease is formed resulting in unsuitable mode of treatment basing on this picture.  In footnote Dr. Hahnemann says that physician should never be guilty of asking suggestive questions, which may seduce the patient into giving a false answer and a false account of his symptoms.

Explanation of Aphorism 86 What to ask after patient had described his suffering.  When the patient along with attendant have ceased to narrate the suffering, physician reads the whole record carefully as if it was related to him and tries to elicit more precise and finer symptoms; examples of questions to be asked is mentioned in the text like-  1.At what period did this symptom occur?  2.Was it previous to taking the medicine that he had been using? .  3.While taking the medicine? Or only some days after leaving off the medicine? 4. What kind of pain, what sensation exactly, was it that occurred on this spot? 5. Where was the precise spot? 6. Did the pain occur in fits and by itself, at various times? Or was it continued, without intermission? How long did it last? At what time of the day or night, and in what position of the body was it worst, or ceased entirely?  7.What was the exact nature of this or that event or circumstance mentioned - descri...

Explanation of Aphorism 84 Procedure to be adapted in writing.  While the patient narrates his sufferings the physician begins to write every new circumstance with a fresh line and leaves a few lines before beginning a new symptom, so that he could add to any line the matter which had not been explained properly.  Some physicians while taking up the case writes rubrics instead of whole symptoms as instructed in this section, saving their time. But whenever that record is seen much is lost as the exact expression and words of patient is missing and we find only interpretation of the physician in the form of rubrics - which if goes wrong is tough to rectify due to absence of full symptoms. 

Explanation of Aphorism 84 Primary instructions for history taking.  When the patient details his history, following are to be taken into account -  1. At the onset physician advises patient to speak slowly, so as to enable him to write down the important points what he says.  2. Physician maintains silence and allows patient and attendants to say regarding his suffering without interrupting him unless he changes his track.  3. Physician writes detail history of the patient which comprises of - a) Feelings and expression of the patient in his own words.  b) Attendant tells what they had heard him complaining of, how he behaved and what they have noticed in him.  c) Physician sees, hears, and remarks by his other senses- what is there of an altered or peculiar about him.  ► In footnote Dr. Hahnemann mentions the reason of not disturbing the patient when he narrates his suffering unless he changes his track as every interruption breaks his th...

Explanation of Aphorism 83 General directions for individualization of case.  Saying about individualization, Dr. Hahnemann gives general directions for individualizing a case but he says that every case is unique and requires different parameters which cannot be categorized to encompass each case as a rule. Rather, what physician needs to be present in him to handle every case before him is - 1. Freedom from prejudice, else he will be baised and his observation will be fallacious. 2. Sound senses, to perceive slight change in state of health. 3. Attention in observing, not to miss any point.  4. Fidelity in tracing picture of disease, to be exactly at the point.  ▲ Each case is unique and every case cannot be taken up using same protocol. In spite of this many physicians are seen perplexed if they are unable to bring out reaction to heat or cold, thirst or mental symptoms of the patient clearly - as if these are the only things which are needed to make presc...

Explanation of Aphorism 82 Individualization is necessary for cure of acute as well as chronic diseases.  Discovery of chronic diseases along with their specific homoeopathic remedies have advanced much in attaining cure; yet individualization is must. Only difference occurs in acute cases when it develops so rapidly that the chief symptoms becomes self-evident to senses more quickly resulting in to trace the picture of disease within no time; contrary to chronic diseases which gradually progresses for several years, resulting in symptoms to become more difficult to be ascertained.  In footnote Dr. Hahnemann says that directions regarding self-evidentity of symptoms are only applicable in acute diseases. #Aphorism82

Explanation of Aphorism 81 Psora is thousand headed monster.  Psora being most ancient miasm had gradually passed many. generations through millions of human organism and attained such vast development which we call secondary symptoms of Psora, although it possesses a distinct name and is believed to be an individual entity of independent character by old school. Reasons for such increased number of secondary symptoms of Psora are   1. Different corporeal constitution of people had been affected by it. So, it had gained varied forms.  2. Different constitution had been under varied external and internal factors which had added to its different forms.  In first footnote Dr. Hahnemann mentions some of the modifying factors which helps in transformation of Psora into chronic diseases  1. Climate, physical character of place of residing.  2. Physical and mental training of youth-delayed, excess or abuse.  3. Diet and regimen.  4. Pass...

Explanation of Aphorism 80 Psoric miasm Specific internal dyscrasia of Syphilis and Sycosis is primarily manifested externally by venereal chancre and cauliflower like growth; after completion of internal infection of the whole organism, respectively. Besides the two, chronic miasm of Psora announces itself by a peculiar cutaneous eruption, at times consisting of a few vesicles accompanied by intolerable voluptuous tickling and itching along with a peculiar odour Psora, is the only fundamental cause and producer of numerous forms of diseases  -Nervous debility, Hysteria, Hypochondriasis, Mania, Melancholia, Imbecility, Madness, Epilepsy and Convulsions of all sorts, -Softening of the bones (rachitis), Scoliosis and Kyphosis, Caries, -Cancer, Fungus Nematodes, Neoplasms, -Gout,  -Haemorrhoids, Jaundice, Cyanosis, Dropsy, -Amenorrhoea,  -Haemorrhage from the stomach, nose, and womb,  -Asthma and Ulceration of the lungs, -Impotence and Barrenness,  -Meg...

Aphorism 79 explanation Chronic miasm Syphilis and Sycosis.  During time of Dr. Hahnemann Syphilis alone to some extent was recognized as chronic miasmatic disease, which when uncured ceases with death. Even today's medical science believes it to be hereditary.  But, Sycosis was not recognized as chronic miasmatic disease; although -  1. It cannot be eradicated by vital force alone unless cured by proper anti-miasmatic treatment.  2. Physicians imagined to cure it, by destroying the outgrowth of skin; but its persistent dyscrasia was over looked.  So, Dr. Hahnemann says that Sycosis is equally a chronic miasmatic disease as Syphilis.  ▲ In this section we get criteria to be fulfilled by any disease be called miasmatic, it should- 1. Be hereditary in its effect.  2. Have distinct characteristics of its own.  3. Affects organism in its own peculiar way.  4. Ineradicable by vital force alone without proper antimaismatic treatment . 5...

Aphorism 78 explanation True natural chronic diseases arise from chronic miasm.  Unlike inappropriately named chronic diseases, true chronic diseases are different, having following characteristics  1. True natural chronic diseases arise from chronic miasm.  2. Chronic diseases when left alone, does not fade away rather they increase and grow worse day by day without employment of its proper anti-miasmatic medicine.  3. Even the best mental and corporeal regimen, most robust constitution, best regulated mode of living and most vigorous energy of vital force is insufficient to eradicate it.  4. Except inappropriately named chronic diseases, real chronic diseases are numerous, and are a curse to human race.  In footnote Dr. Hahnemann says that natural chronic diseases did not leave the organism itself but during youth when vital energy is vigourous, person seems to be unaffected by it and seems to be in perfect health. But, later the diseases are ...

Explanation of Aphorism 77 Introducing inappropriately named chronic disease.  In this section inappropriately named chronic diseases, having following characteristics are mentioned:  1. Occurs when person is continuously exposed to avoidable noxious agents-  a) Habit of indulging in liquor,  b) Addiction or dissipation of many kind,  c) Prolonged abstinence from things that are necessary for support of life,  d) Residing in unhealthy locality especially marshy district, who are housed in cellar or other confined dwellings,  e) Deprived of exercise or of open air,  f) Overexertion of body or mind,  g) Who live in constant state of worry etc.  2. Under proper diet and regimen along with healthy mode of living these states of ill health disappear spontaneously, provided no chronic miasm lurks behind in the body - so, they cannot be called as chronic diseases.

Explanation of Aphorism 76 Treatment of Iatrogenic disease.  Iatrogenic diseases are difficult to cure and homoeopathy is meant to cure only natural diseases, here Dr. Hahnemann says regarding treatment of iatrogenic diseases-  1. Initially the medicine which is thought to be the major cause of the condition is to be stopped, letting the vital force to remedy itself.  2. If vital force is unable to overcome it, due to presence of chronic miasm, then appropriate anti miasmatic treatment is to be instituted. 3. To carry out the above mentioned two points, it requires time of several years. Further, patience of the physician as well as the diseased person is of utmost importance in this aspect.  In footnote Dr. Hahnemann says that physicians who practice such treatment habitually points out the internal disfigurement at the post-mortem examination, to the mourning relatives of the deceased; which is due to his pseudo art but he skillfully saves himself of th...
