HOMOEOPATHY FOR HAPPY AND HEALTHY LIFE

Homoeopathy is a distinct system of medicine based upon Nature’s law of cure (LAW OF SIMILARS) Similia Similibus Curenture (likes are cured by likes ) with a vitalistic, wholistic, individualistic approach to persons in health, disease and its cure; using the dynamic properties of drugs specially prepared to release their potencies single at a time even in minimum doses.

WHAT IS LAW OF SIMILARS

This law states that a disease is cured by an agent /a drug substance in nature, which has the capacity to produce a similar state when administered to a healthy human being I i.e a new disease produced by medicine can remove a pre-existing natural disease if their manifestations are similar.

HISTORY OF LAW OF SIMILARS:

Today when pharmacology is well established science the concept of law of Similars; setting a disease against a disease to cure disease may sound ridiculous but history make this concept valid. This concept of treating with similars is very ancient and has been believed for many long years. However it was Dr. Hahnemann the master of vintage, who successfully outlined this system of therapeutics.
In the very ancient Indian text BHAGVAT-PURANA (about 4500 B.C.) it is written as under :-

MEANS: A disease is produced in the organism by a drug, is cured by same drug itself. Is it not? Like the mind that is the cause of worldy fetters is in itself the agent for release for such felters by self immolation. In Ayurveda it is clearly mentioned

Means likes are cured by likes.

TRANSLATED MEANS:- Contrary principles results in complications, whereas similia principle is always helpful.

In Holy Bible one comes across the Mekilta stating that whereas the man heals with contrary remedies, God heals with similars. Come and see the healing of Holy one, blessed be He, is not like the healing of man. Man doesn’t heal with the same thing with which he wounds, but he wounds with a knife and heals with plaster. The Holy one blessed be He, however is not so, let HE heals with the very thing which he smites.”

HIPPOCRATES:- It is interesting to see how Hippocrates-the father of medicines has mentioned this law of similars. In the chapter 1 of the book ‘Peritopon ton Kat antriopari-Codex of the words of Hippocrates, Magni Hippokratis Coiopera Omnia’ he writes ‘Through the likes the disease is produced and through the application of the like it is cured. The disease is produced by influences which act similar to healing process and disease condition is removed through remedies which produce similar symptoms to the disease. The disease is induced through influences of similar as remedies and disease is eliminated though remedies able to produce the similar symptoms.

PARACELSUS:-(1493-1541) In the 16th century i.e. very origin of modern medicines Paracelsus put forth the Law of similars in the following way ‘When similar is to put to similar and used and applied with intelligence the nature is served well, as arsenic cureth arsenic, Anthrax cure Anthrax, poison cure poison, thus similar anatomy cureth a similar one.
We also find this Law of similars being advocated in the writings of Aristotle(384-322), Stahle of Denmark (1660-1734) Theury, Haller of Swiss(1708-1777) and others.

DISCOVERY OF LAW OF SIMILARS

While translating Cullen’s Materia Medica form English to German, Dr. C.F.S Hahnemann came across a statement made by Cullen that Cinchona bark cured cases of Malaria because of its bitterness. This stuck to this genius mind, that there are number of other bitter substances, all of them are not curing Malaria. To confirm this he took himself Cinchona and amazed to find that be got the symptoms of Malaria fever. He then proceeded to experiment various other substances on himself, his family members, friends and well wishers. Finally he came to the conclusion through systematic analysis of data of drug & disease, ‘Drugs cure by virtues of their capacity to induce changes that are similar to those brought about the disease.
In 1796, Dr. Hahnemann put forth this Law as under:-
A weaker dynamic affection is permanently extinguished in living organism by a stronger one, if the later is very similar to former in its manifestation. The curative power of medicines depend on their symptoms similar to the disease but superior to its strength , so that each individual case of disease is most surely, radically, rapidly and permanently annihilated and removed only by a medicine capable of producing in most similar and complete manner, the totality of symptoms which are stronger than the disease.

APPLICATION OF LAW OF SIMILARS

This principle is applied knowingly or unknowingly in different systems of therapeutics and allied sciences. Before understanding the application of law of similars however one has to take into consideration ‘biphase’ action of drug (medicinal substance) i.e. Primary action of this substance on human body i.e. homeostasis or vital force. And Secondary action of body which is the reaction to the Primary action. To elaborate in cold weather if we take bath with warm water it is soothing to the body because of Primary action and when we come out of the bathroom we find more chill than before because of secondary action or reaction of body or vital force. Where as if in winter we take bath with cold water it will be troublesome for a while but after that we feel automatic heat of body which will be permanent & soothing. Since action and reaction are equal and opposite.
Not only in homoeopathy but other therapies are also using this law of similars with good results i.e. Physiotherapy, Psychotherapy, Psychiatry, Acupuncture, Vaccination and modern medicine too.


SOME MISCONCEPTIONS:

There are certain misconceptions in the minds of people at large and to certain doctors too, that homoeopathic medicine does not do any bad effect (side effect) if not good. It is not true. As we all know homoeopathic medicines are dynamic in nature, it acts in dynamic plane of body. Yes like other medicines it doesn’t have immediate anaphylactic reaction or shock but continuous use of these medicines (without doctor’s advice) can change the vitality to negative end. Homoeopathic medicines act in reaction not in action. Under action there is aggravation which is temporary & soothing. Under reaction there is cure. There is no substance on this earth (especially medicine) which doest have bad effect or good effect. If there is no action how can be a reaction. So do not believe this saying that Homoeopathic medicines doest affect adversely.’
One more misbelieve in the minds of our society is “Homoeopathic medicine’s action is very slow”. It is not true. These are the fastest acting drugs if prescribed correctly, may it be in acute emergency or chronic illness. If the patient visits the physician at very later stage of illness and expect immediate
, how can it be possible. Yes, in acute ailment the relief is obtained quickly.

POINTS TO REMEMBER

Have you (patient) been thoroughly probed by homoeopathic physician (Mentals, generals & physicals) especially in chronic illness? Know the homoeopathic parameters which can be opposite to others parameters. Since in homoeopathy we treat the Man in disease not the disease in man .So there should be improvement in generals first i.e (1) desire to work (2) stamina to work (3) desire to eat & drink (4) sleep must improve not followed by tiredness 5) betterment in excretions like urine ,stool , perspiration etc.
Look for the above mentioned signs rather than seeking improvement in headache, temperature, cold cough, BP etc. Slight improvement in desire to work, stamina, appetite can be the most dependable sign of patient’s proceeding toward cure or recovery than the pathological reports of Hb increasing, WBC normal , normal X-rays and other findings etc. All the above mentioned values of blood or urine or x-ray etc will follow automatically.


MUST EXPLAIN YOUR DOCTOR

Patients suffering from chronic diseases must tell your homoeopathic physician about the disease/diseases in detail. i.e Nature of pain, aggravating/ameliorating factors, ‘timings, seasons etc. since how long you are suffering from this disease and sequence of past illnesses if remember.
Past history of illness, family history (i.e. maternal & paternal side)of disease, your personal history i.e. desires aversions, sleep, dreams, urination, stool, appetite, thirst etc, thermal reaction i.e. tolerance of heat & cold, your nature (mental & general) in detail. For lady patients menstrual symptoms, gynecological & obstratics history are also sometimes needed.
In homoeopathy there is no disease as such which can’t be treated because we treat the diseased man as a whole, not its parts. So do not hide any point related to you or your illness. Or tell in exaggerated form.


ADVICE TO PATIENTS TAKING HOMOEOPATHIC TREATMENT

There is no prohibition or precaution along with homoeopathic medication as such like use of onion, garlic, scented things etc. As a patient you are allowed to eat or drink anything including things which aggravate your symptoms like ice cream, banana, sour/spicy things etc. the homoeopathic medicines try to immunize you against such allergic factors.
You are allowed to take normal diet which you usually take or desire to take. Because normal diet helps to increase the energy within you to fight the illness and recover without weakness.,
You are allowed to work or do duties if have desire/interest to do so.
Do not expect or accept any special formulations like tonics. Cough syrups, sex tonics, ointments, eye or ear drops. Hair oils, shampoos etc from a homoeopathic physician as these are non-homoeopathic in true sense though labeled as homoeopathic.
Don’t use anything which contains MINT (menthol) or anything which contains such intergradient which in anyway anaesthises the faucets or laryngeal cells benumbing the fighting properties or stop the natural cough reflux, sneezing etc. they work against the homoeopathic action of increasing the immunity to cure.
Hard drinks like wine, coffee etc; may also hamper cure in same way.
Local application not only of menthol or xylocain, balm, ointments etc; but anything may be herbal or homoeopathic is not advisable as this cause obstacle to recovery. These products may alter the electro-potential gradient at cellular level thereby obstructing the excretory system from excreting toxins on skin. Only exception may be toothpastes. Since almost all toothpastes contains menthol and for years together. We all are habitual to its use. Our homeostasis has already accepted it as food and established since childhood.
In the present era of specialization & super specialization most of the people think that my eyes are being treated by Dr. A …(eye spl. ) for ears I am getting treatment from Dr. X….(ENT Spl. ), one orthopedic surgeon is treating my slip disc (Backache) and so on. You as homoeopath kindly treat my skin problem/warts etc. since everybody says homoeopathy is better for skin diseases. This is a misbelieve in their minds. As told above in homoeopathy we are to treat diseased person as a whole not in parts. We remove the root cause of the disease. The various part of the body may be eyes, bones. Heart or kidney; everything is rightly settled.



IDEAL CURE-

Now the question arises what is an ‘idle cure’ . There are following certain criteria to be followed if one wants to judge whether he/she is in safe hands.
1. the proof of ‘idle cure’ or Right prescription” is , after a minimum dose, similimum stimulus following changes could occur.
1. feeling of well being in general
2. disappearance of weakness (if any)
3. desire to work
4. Restoration of original desire & stamina
5. Normal sleep, feeling fresh after sleep.
6. Improvement in appetite and stool.
7. Increased tolerance to aggravation factors like sun, wind, cold, food, drinks etc.
8. Reduction in fears and anxieties, rudeness and anger etc.
2. Disappearance of symptoms according to ‘Nature’s way or Herrings’ Law of Cure. This is scientifically explained in the chart shown on page 13 if the symptoms disappear according to this chart (Dr. Vijaykar’s Chart) above downwards in all cases of acute or chronic problem then & only can say a homoeopathic doctor is a genuine prescriber.

SOME GOLDEN RULES FOR KEEPING HEALTHY

1. Always be happy and live tension free life.
2. For sedentary workers, 40 to 60 minutes morning walk (before sunrise) daily is as compulsory as air & water. Proper yoga exercise under expert guidance is equally benefited.
3. Eat wholesome food (preferably vegetarian) timely, not hurriedly.
4. Do not take any kind of addictive substances like:-
Alcohol, tobacco in any form e.g. Cigarettes, Bidi, Churat, chutki, Talab, Khaini etc. Drugs smack etc. if you are already dependant on it and want to escape, consult your physician.
1. Avoid self medication; do not take any medicine without consulting your physician.


HOW HOMOEOPATHIC MEDICINE FUNCTION INSIDE THE HUMAN BODY
…………………A Scientific explanation
For those who want to know about the scientific aspect of this holistic science, I am elaborating the following hypothesis of Dr.Vijaykar, mentioned in one of the magazines of I.I.H.P (Bombay).

Homoeopathic medicines are nothing but the chemical imaging of the drug substance on the vehicle (Milk sugar, sugar, Alcohol or water) which will be better explained by Photochemistry, which is different of each medicinal substance in different potencies.

In order to understand how homoeopathy functions inside the human body one had to have some basic knowledge of physiology , embryology, immunology, genetics etc.
1. Human being is an organized multicellular animal, All cells are interconnected, interrelated and interdependent to form tissues and organs.
2. Cell is the basic living unit of the body. The location of each cell is such that to and fro diffusion of substances is established.
3. Basic cell structure is the same for all tissues cells.
4. All cells tissues and organs are connected by multitude of feedback systems which are balanced by what is called as HOMEOSTASIS.
5. All cells give and take nutrients like fats, proteins, carbohydrates, oxygen, nitrogen, calcium, sodium, potassium etc. and have an electrical potential which is so adjusted as to form a potential gradient so that these substances can be transported to and fro.
6. Transport for all natural nutrients is generally passive and does not consume energy. Transport of certain nitrogenous compound i.e. toxins is active and involves consumption of energy which comes from ATP in mitochondria. This explains the weakness in a human being when toxins are being transported from cell especially in an illness.

EMBRYOLOGY

It amply demonstrates the existence of following growth axis gradients.
1. Axis of apical dominance.
2. Cranio-caudal growth axis.
3. Dorso-ventral growth axis.
4. Proximo-distral growth axis.
If growth takes place along these morphogenetic fields and axis, there is bound to exist a life living , life sustaining nutrient gradient, along this axis .As against this, the degradation of immune system ultimately results in death so that there is bound to exist a toxic gradient, which has to be exactly opposite in action and direction. Hence disease shall appear in a being in the following order.
1. Outside inwards i.e. from ectodermal skin to endodermal membranes of respiratory, genitor-urinary and gastro-intestinal tracts.
2. Skin to deeper system indicating from less important to more important organs.
3. Disto-proximally i.e. from periphery to centre.
4. Caudo-cranially i.e. from down to upwards.

IMMUNOLOGY:-

Human being is kept free from diseases by the immune system. Hence any impairment of the same causes disease.
Disease means impaired immunity is what every homeopath has to understand and the conventional concept of disease i.e. infection or disturbed function of organ or system or degradation of any system only follows the disturbance of any system only follows the disturbance in immunity.
Immunity to man is given by multiple factors e.g.
1. Skin
2. Mucous membrane
3. Lysozomes
4. Immuno globulins
5. T & B lymphocyts
6. Compliment factors –C-1, C-2
7. Interferons & Interleukins.
A balance or homoeostasis of all these is required to keep a man healthy. Essentially what is called in homoeopathy terms as VITAL FORCE is the immunity or resistance.
Reestablished of disturbed nutrient gradient subsequently balancing the disturbed immune system is what homoeopaths call a cure.


ACTIONS OF HOMOEOPATHIC MEDICINES

1. When a pillute is kept on the tongue, the molecular impression (chemical imaging) of the drug being on the glucose or alcohol, because of different hydrogen or carbon bonding (different at different potencies) stimulates the nucleus of the cell in contact.
2. The messenger RNA of “x” of stimulated cell get depressed producing “x” in the cell which ultimately diffuses to neighboring cell to produce antiviral proteins (AVP) like Beta-2 micro-globulin,(antibodies) etc.
3. The AVP bring about
1. Immuno-modultion ,i.e. stimulation or depression of the local immune system.
2. Activating the toxic gradient out of the local system.
3. Thus causing amelioration in parts where the AVP is diffused.
4. The “X” molecules are of three types , two of which have local receptors in local cells (these are probably produced by non-similimum stimulation). Hence action is found only in local part, organ or system. The partially similar homoeopathy medicines, the specifies, the organopathic remedies or the ones prescribed on PQRS particulars, only induce such results.


The disadvantage of this type of treatments are:

1. Toxic gradient is pushed upwards from less important to more important system or organ, causing suppression and new disease in higher planes of embryology since the toxins impair immunity at that plane.
2. Since toxic gradient ascends with active transport. Weakness follows, and there is no sense of well being.
Action of “X” molecules of third type produced by stimulated cell{these are produced by genetically constitutionally similimum (G.C.S)} are general and systematic in action. Their receptors are found in brain cells and can initiate a multitude of actions in brain and in spinal cells, down o organs of mesoderm, down to the connective tissues and ultimately to endoderm&ectoderm
Hence the action is simultaneous at various levels to put the patient back to health. And this is what we call the action of homoeopathic similimum with “SINGLE REMEDY, MINIMUM DOSE”. So homoeopathic remedies are Immuno-modulators not Immunosuppressant.


Now a question arises how people claim to cure or have permanent results in so called incurable cases with polypharmacy or specific formulations, Qs or antipathic drugs.
The explanation of this question is:

1. The specifics/Q/antipathic/ drugs may have remove symptoms from that particular part to some more deeper plane i.e. mesodermal layer which gone un-noticed i.e. backache, cervical spondalysis transferred to Hypertension to Diabetes or thyroid problems.
2. Even if it is noticed it is related to hereditary factors or due to stress strain cause.
3. The disease which have gone from muscle/bone get compensated at dermis, in the form of alopecia or vitiligo.This occurs with partial similar medicines.
4. If the pain has really disappeared without any other symptom developing, it may have accidentally cured the patient. In such case of the many drugs from the mixtures/ specifics given to patient accidentally may be the right similimum.
5. One more possibility is that the acute inflationary process being removed by a local action of that specific, the Homoeostasis or vital force re-established the balance to give automatic cure.
This occurs in allopathic treatment also.

SO ONE CANNOT SAY THAT ALL OTHER SYSTEMS OR
NON-HOMOEOPATHIC TREATMENT ALWAYS SUPPRESS
--AUDE SAPRE

Alcohol, tobacco in any form e.g. Cigarettes, Bidi, Churat, chutki, Talab, Khaini etc. Drugs smack etc. if you are already dependant on it and want to escape, consult your physician.
1. Avoid self medication; do not take any medicine without consulting your physician.


HOW HOMOEOPATHIC MEDICINE FUNCTION INSIDE THE HUMAN BODY
…………………A Scientific explanation
For those who want to know about the scientific aspect of this holistic science, I am elaborating the following hypothesis of Dr.Vijaykar, mentioned in one of the magazines of I.I.H.P (Bombay).

Homoeopathic medicines are nothing but the chemical imaging of the drug substance on the vehicle (Milk sugar, sugar, Alcohol or water) which will be better explained by Photochemistry, which is different of each medicinal substance in different potencies.

In order to understand how homoeopathy functions inside the human body one had to have some basic knowledge of physiology , embryology, immunology, genetics etc.
1. Human being is an organized multicellular animal, All cells are interconnected, interrelated and interdependent to form tissues and organs.
2. Cell is the basic living unit of the body. The location of each cell is such that to and fro diffusion of substances is established.
3. Basic cell structure is the same for all tissues cells.
4. All cells tissues and organs are connected by multitude of feedback systems which are balanced by what is called as HOMEOSTASIS.
5. All cells give and take nutrients like fats, proteins, carbohydrates, oxygen, nitrogen, calcium, sodium, potassium etc. and have an electrical potential which is so adjusted as to form a potential gradient so that these substances can be transported to and fro.
6. Transport for all natural nutrients is generally passive and does not consume energy. Transport of certain nitrogenous compound i.e. toxins is active and involves consumption of energy which comes from ATP in mitochondria. This explains the weakness in a human being when toxins are being transported from cell especially in an illness.

EMBRYOLOGY

It amply demonstrates the existence of following growth axis gradients.
1. Axis of apical dominance.
2. Cranio-caudal growth axis.
3. Dorso-ventral growth axis.
4. Proximo-distral growth axis.
If growth takes place along these morphogenetic fields and axis, there is bound to exist a life living , life sustaining nutrient gradient, along this axis .As against this, the degradation of immune system ultimately results in death so that there is bound to exist a toxic gradient, which has to be exactly opposite in action and direction. Hence disease shall appear in a being in the following order.
1. Outside inwards i.e. from ectodermal skin to endodermal membranes of respiratory, genitor-urinary and gastro-intestinal tracts.
2. Skin to deeper system indicating from less important to more important organs.
3. Disto-proximally i.e. from periphery to centre.
4. Caudo-cranially i.e. from down to upwards.

IMMUNOLOGY:-

Human being is kept free from diseases by the immune system. Hence any impairment of the same causes disease.
Disease means impaired immunity is what every homeopath has to understand and the conventional concept of disease i.e. infection or disturbed function of organ or system or degradation of any system only follows the disturbance of any system only follows the disturbance in immunity.
Immunity to man is given by multiple factors e.g.
1. Skin
2. Mucous membrane
3. Lysozomes
4. Immuno globulins
5. T & B lymphocyts
6. Compliment factors –C-1, C-2
7. Interferons & Interleukins.
A balance or homoeostasis of all these is required to keep a man healthy. Essentially what is called in homoeopathy terms as VITAL FORCE is the immunity or resistance.
Reestablished of disturbed nutrient gradient subsequently balancing the disturbed immune system is what homoeopaths call a cure.


ACTIONS OF HOMOEOPATHIC MEDICINES

1. When a pillute is kept on the tongue, the molecular impression (chemical imaging) of the drug being on the glucose or alcohol, because of different hydrogen or carbon bonding (different at different potencies) stimulates the nucleus of the cell in contact.
2. The messenger RNA of “x” of stimulated cell get depressed producing “x” in the cell which ultimately diffuses to neighboring cell to produce antiviral proteins (AVP) like Beta-2 micro-globulin,(antibodies) etc.
3. The AVP bring about
1. Immuno-modultion ,i.e. stimulation or depression of the local immune system.
2. Activating the toxic gradient out of the local system.
3. Thus causing amelioration in parts where the AVP is diffused.
4. The “X” molecules are of three types , two of which have local receptors in local cells (these are probably produced by non-similimum stimulation). Hence action is found only in local part, organ or system. The partially similar homoeopathy medicines, the specifies, the organopathic remedies or the ones prescribed on PQRS particulars, only induce such results.


The disadvantage of this type of treatments are:

1. Toxic gradient is pushed upwards from less important to more important system or organ, causing suppression and new disease in higher planes of embryology since the toxins impair immunity at that plane.
2. Since toxic gradient ascends with active transport. Weakness follows, and there is no sense of well being.
Action of “X” molecules of third type produced by stimulated cell{these are produced by genetically constitutionally similimum (G.C.S)} are general and systematic in action. Their receptors are found in brain cells and can initiate a multitude of actions in brain and in spinal cells, down o organs of mesoderm, down to the connective tissues and ultimately to endoderm&ectoderm
Hence the action is simultaneous at various levels to put the patient back to health. And this is what we call the action of homoeopathic similimum with “SINGLE REMEDY, MINIMUM DOSE”. So homoeopathic remedies are Immuno-modulators not Immunosuppressant.


Now a question arises how people claim to cure or have permanent results in so called incurable cases with polypharmacy or specific formulations, Qs or antipathic drugs.
The explanation of this question is:

1. The specifics/Q/antipathic/ drugs may have remove symptoms from that particular part to some more deeper plane i.e. mesodermal layer which gone un-noticed i.e. backache, cervical spondalysis transferred to Hypertension to Diabetes or thyroid problems.
2. Even if it is noticed it is related to hereditary factors or due to stress strain cause.
3. The disease which have gone from muscle/bone get compensated at dermis, in the form of alopecia or vitiligo.This occurs with partial similar medicines.
4. If the pain has really disappeared without any other symptom developing, it may have accidentally cured the patient. In such case of the many drugs from the mixtures/ specifics given to patient accidentally may be the right similimum.
5. One more possibility is that the acute inflationary process being removed by a local action of that specific, the Homoeostasis or vital force re-established the balance to give automatic cure.
This occurs in allopathic treatment also.

SO ONE CANNOT SAY THAT ALL OTHER SYSTEMS OR
NON-HOMOEOPATHIC TREATMENT ALWAYS SUPPRESS

What is arthritis?

Arthritis is termed as inflammation of the joint which is often associated with pain, stiffness and limitation of movement of affected joint. There are various forms of arthritis like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis; gout etc. pain is the most common feature of arthritis. Joints, muscles, ligament, cartilage and tendons are mainly affected in this kind of disorder.


Symptoms associated with arthritis pain

Mainly stiffness, redness, swelling and limitation of movements. The arthritis pain may also associated with fever, weight loss, carditis in specific medical conditions of arthritis.

Causes of arthritis associated with pain

Injury –can damage to bone, ligament and cartilage that ultimately leads to severe pain.
Infection – Any kind of infection to the joint may result arthritis pain.
Obesity and advanced age – Both are very common cause of arthritis pain.
Overuse – Overuse of knee joint can cause bursitis which ultimately leads to intense pain.
Sprain- Due to sudden unnatural movements causes pain as well as restriction of movement of the joint.
Malignancy – Myeloma, metastatic carcinoma.
Dislocation – Also causes severe arthritis pain.
Other causes – Include Sarcoidosis, Sickle cell disease, Lupus, Kawasaki disease, Crohn’s disease, bone tumors, bleeding disorders etc.

Diagnosis

Complete physical examination – Include inspection of affected joint, movement, stiffness, tenderness, swelling and other important findings.
Microscopic examination – Of joint fluid.
X-ray knee – To diagnose fracture.
MRI – to detect ligament rupture and other conditions
MANTOUX TEST – To diagnose tuberculosis
Blood tests – Include complete blood count, coagulation test, and blood culture.
Urine test – Mainly for blood, sugar and protein etc.


Homeopathic treatment of arthritis pain

– Homeopathy is one of the most popular holistic systems of medicine. The selection of remedy is based upon the theory of individualization and symptoms similarity by using holistic approach. This is the only way through which a state of complete health can be regained by removing all the sign and symptoms from which the patient is suffering. The aim of homeopathy is not only to treat arthritis pain but to address its underlying cause and individual susceptibility. As far as therapeutic medication is concerned, several well-proved medicines are available for arthritis pain treatment that can be selected on the basis of cause, location, sensation, modalities and extension of the pain. For individualized remedy selection and treatment, the patient should consult a qualified homeopathic doctor in person.
Some important remedies are given below for the treatment of arthritis pain:

Bryonia Alba. – Pain with inflammation which, is aggravated by movement and relieved by moderate pressure and rest.
Ledum pal. – Excellent remedy for gout and rheumatism which is of ascending nature, better by cold application.
Rhus Tox. – Pain aggravated by first movement, damp weather and better by continuous motion.
Colchicum – pain worse by motion touch or mental effort, better by warmth and rest.
Kalmia lot. – descending type of pain, pain with palpitation of heart and slow pulse
Guaiacum. – Gouty abscesses of joints, pain relieved by cold bath and cold application.
Calcaria Carb. – Arthritic swelling, knee pain especially in fleshy people which is worse by cold.
Benzoic acid – gouty concretions of joints, knee pain due to abnormal deposition of uric acid
Hypericum. – Remarkable remedy for rheumatoid arthritis has outstanding action over nerve pain.


Allopathic treatment

– Include analgesics, NSAIDs, muscular relaxants. Surgery is applicable in some specific cases.


Other natural and alternative modes of treatment for arthritis pain – Include Physiotherapy, Ayurveda, Acupuncture, massage, yoga, acupressure.

Belladonna: Symptoms that are very intense and come and go suddenly, accompanied by a feeling of heat, often indicate a need for this remedy. The menstrual flow is typically bright red, profuse, and may have begun too early. Pain and cramping are worse from jarring and from touch, yet applying steady pressure often brings relief. Walking or bending over can make things worse, and sitting may be the most tolerable position. A woman who needs this remedy may feel restless and flushed, with pulsing or pounding sensations, and eyes that are sensitive to light.
Bovista: Women needing this remedy tend to have problems with puffiness and edema during times of menstrual stress, and can feel very awkward and clumsy. Pain may be felt in the pelvic region, often with soreness near the pubic bone. Menstrual flow increases at night (and may even be absent during the day). Diarrhea occurring at the time of the menstrual period is a strong indication for this remedy.
Caulophyllum: Women with a history of weak uterine tone and irregular periods may find some relief in this remedy. Intense discomfort during periods, with drawing pains in the thighs and legs as well as the pelvic area, are strong indications. The woman may experience a heavy flow of blood or other discharge. Stiffness or arthritis, especially in the finger-joints, may be seen in a person who needs this remedy.
Chamomilla: This remedy is indicated when the person’s mood and nerves are so sensitive that pains seem almost unbearable. Anger and irritability may be extreme (or pain and cramping may come on after the woman has been angry). The menstrual flow can be heavy, and the blood may look dark or clotted. Pain often extends from the pelvic area into the thighs, and may be worse at night. Heating pads or exposure to wind can aggravate the symptoms. Vigorous walking or moving around in other ways may help relieve the pain.
Cimicifuga (also called Actaea Racemosa): Cramping and pain that get worse as the flow increases, back and neck pain with muscle tension, and sharp pains like shocks that shoot upward, down the thighs, or across the pelvis, are all indications for this remedy. The woman is likely to be nervous, enthusiastic, and talkative by nature, yet feel pessimistic and fearful when unwell.
Cocculus: This remedy is indicated when a woman has cramping or pressing pain in the pelvic or abdominal region, along with weakness or dizziness. She may be inclined toward headaches or nausea, and parts of her body can feel numb or hollow. Feeling worse from standing up or from any kind of exertion and feeling better from lying down and sleeping are typical. (Cocculus is often indicated when a person has not been sleeping well and then feels weak or ill.)
Colocynthis: Sharp, cutting, tearing pains that make the person double over bring this remedy to mind. Cramping may be felt throughout the pelvic area or be focused near the ovaries. The woman feels restless from the pain, but lying down and keeping hard pressure and warmth on the area improve things. This remedy is often indicated if problems are worsened by emotional upsets, especially after feeling anger or suppressing it.
Lachesis: Women who have intense discomfort and tension before the menstrual period begins and feel much better when the flow is established may benefit from this remedy. Symptoms include a bearing-down sensation in the pelvis, flushes of heat, headache, and an inability to tolerate the touch of clothing around the waist or neck. A person who needs this remedy may feel “like a pressure cooker”: intense and passionate, needing an outlet both physically and emotionally.
Lilium tigrinum: Indications for this remedy include great premenstrual irritability (making other people “walk on eggs”) and cramping pain with a bearing-down feeling during periods. The woman may feel as if her uterus is pushing out, and may need to sit a lot or cross her legs. She is likely to feel worse from strong emotions or excitement and be better from fresh air.
Magnesia phosphorica: Painful cramps and pain in the pelvic region that are relieved by pressure and warmth often respond to this remedy. Periods may start too early, often with a dark or stringy discharge, and pain is usually worse on the right side of the body. The woman is sensitive and inclined toward “nerve pain”—feeling worse from being cold and also worse at night.
Nux vomica: This remedy may be indicated when a woman has irregular menstrual periods with constricting pains that can extend to the rectum or the area above the tailbone. The woman tends to be impatient, irritable, and easily offended. Chilliness and constipation are also common. Mental strain, anger, physical exertion, stimulants, strong foods, and alcohol are likely to make things worse. Warmth and rest often help.
Pulsatilla: Delayed or suppressed menstrual flow accompanied by nausea or faintness suggests the use of this remedy. Getting too warm or being in a stuffy room make things worse. Cramping pain with a bearing-down feeling, either with scanty flow or thick, dark, clotted discharge, can also occur—symptoms that are changeable often point to Pulsatilla. The woman’s moods are changeable as well, and a desire for attention and sympathy, along with a sensitive (even tearful) emotional state are typical. This remedy is indicated during many conditions involving hormonal changes and is often helpful to girls who have recently started having periods.
Sepia: Indications for this remedy include painful, late, or suppressed menstruation, sometimes with a feeling that the pelvic floor is weak or as if the uterus is sagging. The woman may feel irritable, dragged out, and sad—losing interest temporarily in marital and family interactions, wanting to be left alone. Dampness, perspiring, and doing housework may aggravate the symptoms. Warmth and exercise, especially dancing, often brighten the woman’s outlook and restore some energy.
Veratrum album: Menstrual periods with a very heavy flow and cramping, along with feeling of exhaustion, chilliness, and even vomiting and diarrhea, are indications for this remedy. The periods may start too early and go on too long. Discomfort is often worse at night and also in wet, cold weather. Warm drinks, exercise, or moving the bowels may make things worse. Small meals, cold drinks, and wrapping up in warm clothes or covers will tend to bring relief.
Homeopathy Dosage Directions
Select the remedy that most closely matches the symptoms. In conditions where self-treatment is appropriate, unless otherwise directed by a physician, a lower potency (6X, 6C, 12X, 12C, 30X, or 30C) should be used. In addition, instructions for use are usually printed on the label.
Many homeopathic physicians suggest that remedies be used as follows: Take one dose and wait for a response. If improvement is seen, continue to wait and let the remedy work. If improvement lags significantly or has clearly stopped, another dose may be taken. The frequency of dosage varies with the condition and the individual. Sometimes a dose may be required several times an hour; other times a dose may be indicated several times a day; and in some situations, one dose per day (or less) can be sufficient.
If no response is seen within a reasonable amount of time, select a different remedy.

Lilium tigrinum: Indications for this remedy include great premenstrual irritability (making other people “walk on eggs”) and cramping pain with a bearing-down feeling during periods. The woman may feel as if her uterus is pushing out, and may need to sit a lot or cross her legs. She is likely to feel worse from strong emotions or excitement and be better from fresh air.
Magnesia phosphorica: Painful cramps and pain in the pelvic region that are relieved by pressure and warmth often respond to this remedy. Periods may start too early, often with a dark or stringy discharge, and pain is usually worse on the right side of the body. The woman is sensitive and inclined toward “nerve pain”—feeling worse from being cold and also worse at night.
Nux vomica: This remedy may be indicated when a woman has irregular menstrual periods with constricting pains that can extend to the rectum or the area above the tailbone. The woman tends to be impatient, irritable, and easily offended. Chilliness and constipation are also common. Mental strain, anger, physical exertion, stimulants, strong foods, and alcohol are likely to make things worse. Warmth and rest often help.
Pulsatilla: Delayed or suppressed menstrual flow accompanied by nausea or faintness suggests the use of this remedy. Getting too warm or being in a stuffy room make things worse. Cramping pain with a bearing-down feeling, either with scanty flow or thick, dark, clotted discharge, can also occur—symptoms that are changeable often point to Pulsatilla. The woman’s moods are changeable as well, and a desire for attention and sympathy, along with a sensitive (even tearful) emotional state are typical. This remedy is indicated during many conditions involving hormonal changes and is often helpful to girls who have recently started having periods.
Sepia: Indications for this remedy include painful, late, or suppressed menstruation, sometimes with a feeling that the pelvic floor is weak or as if the uterus is sagging. The woman may feel irritable, dragged out, and sad—losing interest temporarily in marital and family interactions, wanting to be left alone. Dampness, perspiring, and doing housework may aggravate the symptoms. Warmth and exercise, especially dancing, often brighten the woman’s outlook and restore some energy.
Veratrum album: Menstrual periods with a very heavy flow and cramping, along with feeling of exhaustion, chilliness, and even vomiting and diarrhea, are indications for this remedy. The periods may start too early and go on too long. Discomfort is often worse at night and also in wet, cold weather. Warm drinks, exercise, or moving the bowels may make things worse. Small meals, cold drinks, and wrapping up in warm clothes or covers will tend to bring relief.
Homeopathy Dosage Directions
Select the remedy that most closely matches the symptoms. In conditions where self-treatment is appropriate, unless otherwise directed by a physician, a lower potency (6X, 6C, 12X, 12C, 30X, or 30C) should be used. In addition, instructions for use are usually printed on the label.
Many homeopathic physicians suggest that remedies be used as follows: Take one dose and wait for a response. If improvement is seen, continue to wait and let the remedy work. If improvement lags significantly or has clearly stopped, another dose may be taken. The frequency of dosage varies with the condition and the individual. Sometimes a dose may be required several times an hour; other times a dose may be indicated several times a day; and in some situations, one dose per day (or less) can be sufficient.
If no response is seen within a reasonable amount of time, select a different remedy.
