HOMOEOPATHY IS A SYSTEM OF MEDICINE, WHICH IS INVENTED ALMOST 250 YEARS BEFORE. NOWADAYS, IT IS BECOMING MORE AND MORE POPULAR. ITS EFFICASY IS NOW PROVEN IN MANY HEALTH-RELATED PROBLEMS ALL OVER THE WORLD. MANY PEOPLE ARE NOW, OPTING FOR HOMOEOPATHY AS IT IS SAFE AND RELIABLE.

IN THIS SCENARIO, AS A HOMOEOPATH, WE MUST GET OURSELVES PREPARED FOR THE INCREASING DEMAND FOR THIS SYSTEM. WE HAVE TO TACKLE NEW MEDICAL PROBLEMS ARISING FROM THE MODERN LIFESTYLE. NOWADAYS, PATIENTS ARE PREFERING HOMOEOPATHY NOT ONLY FOR THEIR CHRONIC PROBLEMS BUT ALSO FOR ACUTE PROBLEMS. MANY OF THEM WANT TO SHIFT THEMSELVES FROM ALLOPATHY TO HOMOEOPATHY EXCEPT IN EMERGENCIES. THEY WANT FROM US TO TACKLE THEIR SMALL PROBLEMS ALONG WITH MAJOR PROBLEMS.SO THEY ARE LOOKING AT US AS A COMPLETE HOMOEOPATHIC FAMILY PHYSICIAN, WHO WILL TAKE CARE OF THEIR FAMILY’S TOTAL HEALTHCARE NEEDS.

SO RESPONSIBILITY ON OUR SHOULDERS HAS RAISED TO MANY FOLDS. MANY PRACTISING HOMOEOPATHS MAY BE REALISING THE SAME THING. TO FULFILL THE NEEDS AND DEMANDS OF OUR PATIENTS, WE MUST MOULD OURSELVES TO APPLY OUR HOMOEOPATHIC KNOWLEDGE IN A VERSATILE WAY. WE MUST USE ALL AVAILABLE RESOURCES IN THE HOMOEOPATHIC SYSTEM. EXCEPT FOR TRUE SURGICAL CONDITIONS AND EMERGENCIES, WE CAN TACKLE ALL OTHER MEDICAL CONDITIONS WITH HOMOEOPATHY EFFECTIVELY. WE MUST MAKE OURSELVES COMPETENT SO THAT PATIENTS SHOULD PREFER US AS THE PRIMARY CHOICE AND NOT AS A SECONDARY OR ALTERNATIVE CHOICE FOR THEIR TREATMENT. NOW WE WILL UNDERSTAND THE MEANING OF VERSATILE.

VERSATILE MEANS THE ABILITY TO ADAPT TO MANY DIFFERENT CONDITIONS. MULTIFACETED, RESOURCEFUL . ALL-ROUNDER.

NOW, I WILL EXPLAIN HOW HOMOEOPATHY IS APPLIED IN A VERSATILE WAY. HOW HOMOEOPATHIC MEDICINES IN DIFFERENT FORMS CAN BE APPLIED SUCCESSFULLY FOR THE FASTEST RESULTS.

IF YOU WILL VISIT A HOMOEOPATHIC PHARMACY, APART FROM HOMOEOPATHIC DILUTIONS AND PILLS, WE CAN SEE MOTHER TINCTURES, PATENTS (MEANS COMBINATION MEDICINES FOR SPECIFIC MEDICAL CONDITIONS), TONICS, COUGH SYRUPS, EYE DROPS, EAR DROPS, HAIR OILS, PAIN KILLER OILS, COSMETICS ETC. EVEN THOUGH IT IS AGAINST HOMOEOPATHIC PHILOSOPHY, MANUFACTURING COMPANIES ALL OVER THE WORLD INCLUDING GERMANY ARE OFFICIALLY MANUFACTURING AND SELLING THEM. WE CANNOT DENY THIS FACT. I HAVE SEEN, EVEN LAYPERSONS USING THEM AND BENEFITTING FROM THEM. SO WE MUST SAY THAT THESE PRODUCTS ARE EFFICIENT AND FULFILLING THE NEED OF THE PATIENTS. IT MEANS HOMOEO MEDICINES ARE WORKING EVEN IN COMBINATIONS IF COMBINE PROPERLY.

WE, AS A HOMOEOPATH, SHOULD THINK ABOUT IT. WHY COMBINATIONS ARE GIVING RESULTS? , HOW DO THEY GIVE RESULTS? WHAT IS THE SCIENTIFIC REASON FOR GETTING RESULTS? ALL THESE POINTS SHOULD BE STUDIED WITH AN UNPREJUDICED MIND, AS WE HAVE TO TAKE FORWARD THE HOMOEOPATHIC SCIENCE. HAHNEMANN WAS ALWAYS OPEN-MINDED AND EXPERIMENTAL. HE WAS WORKING CONSTANTLY ON THIS SCIENCE TILL HIS LAST BREATH. HE PUBLISHED 6 EDITIONS. HE WAS CONSTANTLY MAKING ADDITIONS IN EVERY EDITION. HE NEVER THOUGHT, HIS WORK WAS COMPLETE. HE WAS ABOUT TO PUBLISH THE 7TH EDITION BEFORE HIS DEATH. SO FURTHER OPEN-MINDED STUDY IS NEEDED FROM ALL OF US TO TAKE HIS VALUABLE WORK AHEAD. WE MUST OPEN OURSELVES TO NEW IDEAS AND CONCEPTS. WE HAVE TO STUDY AND EXPERIMENT ON THIS CONCEPT FOR PROVING THEIR UTILITY, RATHER THAN CRITICIZING THEM.

AS COMPLETE HOMOEOPATHIC FAMILY PHYSICIANS, WE HAVE TO TACKLE EVERY SMALL PROBLEM OF OUR PATIENTS, LIKE DRESSING OF WOUNDS, EAR PAIN, ETC. ALONG WITH THE MAJOR PROBLEMS. SOMETIMES, EVEN WHEN THE PATIENT IS ON CONSTITUTIONAL TREATMENT FOR CHRONIC PROBLEMS, HE NEEDS HOMOEOPATHIC TREATMENT FOR HIS SMALL COMPLAINTS. IN THIS SITUATION, YOU SHOULD NOT REFUSE THE TREATMENT. WHILE TACKLING ACUTE CONDITIONS, PHYSICIANS MUST KNOW AND SHOULD APPLY THE FOLLOWING THINGS.

1. RESULTS SHOULD BE IN THE SHORTEST POSSIBLE TIME.
2. QUICK CASE-TAKING AND PRESCRIBING.
3. PATIENTS’ PSYCHOLOGY SHOULD BE CONSIDERED WHILE PRESCRIBING. FOR EXAMPLE, THE USE OF EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS FOR WOUNDS, THE USE OF EYE AND EAR DROPS ETC.
4. SUPPORTIVE TREATMENT IF REQUIRED, LIKE IRON TONICS, GENERAL TONICS, COUGH SYRUPS, ETC.

FOR THE LAST 250 YEARS, SINCE ITS CONCEPTION, HOMOEOPATHY IS CHIEFLY PRACTICED FOR ITS UTILITY IN CHRONIC DISEASES. A CLASSICAL, SINGLE-MEDICINE APPROACH IS USED TO TACKLE CHRONIC PROBLEMS. NOWADAYS BECAUSE OF THE ADVERSE EFFECTS OF THE ALLOPATHIC SYSTEM, PATIENTS ARE PREFERING HOMOEOPATHIC MEDICINES EVEN FOR THEIR SMALLEST AND MOST ACUTE PROBLEMS. SO, IT IS A CHALLENGE FOR US TO PROVE OURSELVES IN THIS SCENARIO. HERE WE MUST GIVE QUICK RESULTS IN THE SHORTEST TIME BY USING ALL RESOURCES AVAILABLE IN HOMOEOPATHY IN TODAY’S ERA. VERSATILE APPLICATION OF HOMOEOPATHY IS IMPORTANT FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:

1. ESSENTIAL FOR ACUTE CASES WITH QUICK RESULTS.
2. FOR THE SPREAD OF HOMOEOPATHY.
3. IF WE USE PATENTS, TONIC, SUPPORTIVE, EYE, AND EAR DROPS IN ACUTE CASES, IT ALSO HELPS THE PATIENT PSYCHOLOGICALLY.

I WANT TO APPEAL TO HOMOEOPATHIC DOCTORS, WHO ARE PRACTICING AS ALLOPATHIC GENERAL PRACTITIONERS, TO START USING HOMOEOPATHIC PRODUCTS IN THEIR PRACTICE. IT IS OBSERVED THAT OUT OF FEAR OF CLASSICAL HOMOEOPATHY MANY HOMOEOPATHIC DOCTORS PREFER ALLOPATHIC PRACTICE. THERE ARE MANY OTHER REASONS FOR THIS CONDITION, BUT THAT CAN BE DISCUSSED LATER ON. TO REVERT THEM TO HOMOEOPATHY OR TO ENCOURAGE THEM TO USE OF HOMOEOPATHY IN THEIR PRACTICE, THE CONCEPT OF VERSATILE APPLICATION OF HOMOEOPATHY IS ESSENTIAL.

SO, I WILL CONCLUDE MY BLOG IN A SINGLE LINE" LET’S MAKE HOMOEOPATHY VERSATILE "
