Health – Disease – Cure
In homeopathy we do believe that our body is animated by a “spirit-like” dynamic force - vital force - which maintains harmony between the different levels - physical, mental, emotional and spiritual - of our multi-dimensional being. In health the vital energy keeps a harmonious balance so that you can easily adapt to life situations and circumstances. If the organism is exposed to a stimulus or circumstance (e.g. lack of sleep, longstanding fear or grief, bad nutrition) there will be changes in vibration level; the Vital Force can often adjust to this vibration change with no noticeable effects on physical, mental or emotional level. But if it is too weak, a defence mechanism kicks in and the Vital Force makes itself known by the manifestation of symptoms which are not produced by the stimulus, but rather a reaction to it. Therefore disease is a morbid dynamical and functional disturbance of the harmony of the Vital Force. As disease is dynamic, the treatment needs to be dynamic too! Therefore cure means stimulation of the Vital Force to return to a harmonious balance of all levels so that all symptoms can subside. „Those who merely study and treat the effects of disease are like those who imagine they can drive away the winter by brushing the snow from the door. It is not the snow that causes the winter, but the winter that causes the snow”. Paracelsus
The course of treatment required depends on the type of illness the patient has, the length of time she/he had it for your present life circumstances and how well the response to treatment is. I would recommend evaluating the results after the first 3 months. The curative process unfolds according to the individual situation: Some people experience a significant improvement in their symptoms and overall energy within a short time. With others it will be more gradual. A brief intensification of some symptoms which may last a few days is also possible, followed by a gradual and steady improvement. Your symptoms might change from more important to less important systems of your body – e.g. when the asthma symptoms of a patient improve a skin disease develops – which is considered to be a positive change as the overall energy is lifted. A general detoxification can be encouraged by taking a remedy leading to symptoms like a mild cold, tiredness, a skin rash or any discharge; this is also regarded as a positive sign as the body starts eliminating toxins. After you have taken a remedy it is very important to observe yourself – not only the presenting complaint, but also your overall state of health including energy level, appetite etc. All changes are necessary to evaluate your reaction and determine the continuation of treatment. In this way you can actively contribute to your healing process as I am dependant on your feedback. |
