ہومیوپیتھک فزیشن کا واحد مشن یہ ہے کہ وہ شفا کے بلند ترین معیار کو حاصل کرے اور “شفا کا بلند ترین معیار” درج ذیل ہے
1. شفا تیز ترین ہو۔ وضاحت:کسی بیماری کی تیز ترین شفا کا دورانیہ بیماری کی نوعیت پر منحصرہوتا ہے۔ اگر بیماری ایکیوٹ ہو اورایک مخصوص اور معین مدت میں خود بہ خود ختم ہو جانے والی ہو، تو اسے اس کے اس مخصوص کورس سے پہلے ٹھیک کر دینا چاہیے ۔ دوسرے الفاظ میں، شدید کیسز کو فوری طور پر ختم کرنا چاہیے۔ لیکن کرانک (دائمی) بیماریوں کو علاج کے لیے نسبتاً زیادہ وقت درکار ہوتا ہے کیونکہ ان بیماریوں نے مریض کے ٹشوز میں تبدیلیاں پیدا کردی ہوتی ہیں۔
2. نرمی کے ساتھ ہو اور مزید نقصان دہ نہ ہو۔ وضاحت: علاج اس طریقے سے کیا جائے کہ مریض کی موجودہ تکلیف میں اضافہ نہیں ہونا چاہیے، اس لیے اسے نرم ہونا چاہیے۔ ہمیں مریض کو مزید نقصان پہنچانے کا کوئی حق نہیں۔ ڈاکٹر ہانیمن کے دور میں علاج کے لئے خون بہانے، جلاب دینے، کٹ لگانے اور آگ سے داغنے جیسے طریقے اپنائے جاتے تھے، جو بیماری سے زیادہ نقصان دہ تھے۔ اس لئے تکلیف دہ طریقوں سے بھی بچنا ہے۔
3. مستقل طور پر ہو۔ وضاحت:اس کا مطلب ہے کہ بیماری کے دوبارہ ہونے کا کوئی امکان نہ ہو۔ علاج کے بعد صحت یابی مستقل ہونی چاہیے۔ محض علامات کو دور کرنا یا مریض کی تکالیف اور علامات کو دبادینا حقیقی معنوں میں صحت یابی نہیں کہلاتا۔ لہذا اصل مشن شفا حاصل کرنا ہے۔
4. کم سے کم وقت میں ہو۔ وضاحت:یہ ایک نسبتی اصطلاح (Relative term )ہے ، ایسا اس وقت ممکن ہوتا ہے جب زیادہ سے زیادہ بالمثل میڈیسن کاانتخاب کیا گیاہو۔ جب کوئی دوا علامات کے مجموعے کی زیادہ سے زیادہ مماثلت کی بنیاد پر دی جاتی ہے ،تو توقع کی جاتی ہے کہ مریض جلد صحت یاب ہو جائے گا۔ علاج کے انتخاب کا یہ سیدھا سا طریقہ وقت کی بچت کرتا ہے اور قابل اعتماد بھی ہوتا ہے۔
5. بیماری کا وجود مکمل طور پر ختم کردیا گیا ہو۔ وضاحت:ایک بیماری جس کی بہت سی علامات ہوتی ہیں۔ کچھ علامات زیادہ پریشان کن اور تکلیف دہ ہوتی ہیں اور کچھ کم پریشان کن ہوتی ہیں۔ اس لیے ہمیں محض زیادہ پریشان کن علامات کو دور کرنے پر ہی مطمئن نہیں ہونا چاہیے ،کیونکہ ہر علامت نارمل صحت کی حالت سے انحراف کو ظاہر کرتی ہے۔ بیماری کو مکمل طور پر اس کی تمام علامات سمیت ختم کرنا ضروری ہے۔ لہذا نارمل صحت کی حالت کوبحال کرنے کے لیے ہر علامت کو دور کرنا ضروری ہے تاکہ شفا کا بلندترین معیار حاصل کیا جاسکے۔
6. نہایت قابل اعتماد اور بہت بے ضرر طریقے سے حاصل ہو۔ وضاحت:جب کسی بیماری کی علامات “ہیرنگ کے قانون” کے مطابق ختم ہو رہی ہوتی ہیں، تو ہم یقین کر سکتے ہیں کہ بیماری بالآخر صحت یاب ہو جائے گی۔ اس قانون کے مطابق ،علامات اوپر سے نیچے، اندر سے باہر، مرکز سے کنارے، زیادہ اہم سے کم اہم عضو تک، اور ان کے آنے کے الٹ ترتیب میں ختم ہوتی ہیں، یعنی جو علامات آخر میں آئیں وہ پہلے ختم ہوتی ہیں۔
7. علاج شفاف، سیدھے سادے اور آسانی سے سمجھ میں آجانے والے اصولوں کے مطابق ہو۔

Homeopathic medicine is a natural and holistic approach to healing the body. Read on to learn more about what it is and how it works.
Introduction:
Homeopathic medicine has been around for more than two centuries and is a popular alternative approach to traditional medicine. The concept behind homeopathy is to treat the whole person, not just the symptoms of their illness. Homeopathy uses natural substances in highly diluted amounts to stimulate the body’s healing abilities. In this article, we will explore the basics of homeopathic medicine and how it works.
What is Homeopathic Medicine?
Homeopathic medicine is a form of alternative medicine that was developed in the late 18th century by a German physician named Samuel Hahnemann. It is based on the principle of “like cures like,” meaning that a substance that causes symptoms in a healthy person can be used to treat similar symptoms in a sick person.
Homeopathic medicines are made from natural substances, such as plants, minerals, and animal products, that are highly diluted in water or alcohol. The dilution process is believed to increase the effectiveness of the substance while reducing the risk of side effects.
How Does Homeopathic Medicine Work?
Homeopathic medicine works by stimulating the body’s natural healing abilities. The highly diluted substances used in homeopathy are thought to trigger a response in the body that helps it fight off the illness or condition.
Homeopathic remedies come in many different forms, including tablets, pellets, and liquid drops. The appropriate remedy is chosen based on the individual’s symptoms and overall health. Homeopathic practitioners take a holistic approach to treatment, considering the person’s mental, emotional, and physical health when selecting a remedy.
Homeopathic remedies are generally safe and have few side effects. However, it is important to note that homeopathy should not be used as a substitute for traditional medical care in cases of serious illness or injury.
How is Homeopathic Medicine Different from Traditional Medicine?
Homeopathic medicine differs from traditional medicine in several ways:
Homeopathy treats the whole person, not just the symptoms of their illness.
Homeopathy uses natural substances in highly diluted amounts, while traditional medicine often uses synthetic drugs.
Homeopathy focuses on stimulating the body’s natural healing abilities, while traditional medicine often relies on drugs to suppress symptoms.
Common Homeopathic Remedies
There are hundreds of homeopathic remedies available, each with its own specific uses and indications. Some of the most common remedies include:
Arnica montana: used for bruises, sprains, and muscle soreness.
Belladonna: used for fever, inflammation, and headaches.
Chamomilla: used for teething pain and irritability in infants and young children.
Ignatia: used for grief, anxiety, and emotional stress.
Nux vomica: used for digestive issues and hangovers.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Is homeopathic medicine safe? A: Homeopathic remedies are generally safe and have few side effects. However, it is important to consult with a qualified homeopathic practitioner before beginning treatment.
Q: Can homeopathic medicine be used in conjunction with traditional medicine? A: Yes, homeopathic medicine can be used alongside traditional medical treatments. However, it is important to inform your doctor of any homeopathic remedies you are taking.
Q: How long does it take for homeopathic remedies to work? A: The length of time it takes for homeopathic remedies to work varies depending on the individual and the condition being treated. Some people may experience relief within minutes, while others may require longer treatment periods.
Conclusion:
Homeopathic medicine is a natural and holistic approach to healing that has been around for more than two centuries. It uses highly diluted natural substances to stimulate the body’s natural healing abilities and treat the whole
person, not just the symptoms of their illness. While homeopathy is not a substitute for traditional medical care in cases of serious illness or injury, it can be a valuable complementary approach to promoting overall health and wellness.
If you are interested in exploring homeopathic medicine, it is important to seek out a qualified practitioner who can guide you in selecting the appropriate remedies and dosage. As with any form of medical treatment, it is important to inform your doctor of any homeopathic remedies you are taking.
In summary, homeopathic medicine is a natural and holistic approach to healing that uses highly diluted natural substances to stimulate the body’s natural healing abilities. While it is not a substitute for traditional medical care, it can be a valuable complementary approach to promoting overall health and wellness.

Obesity is a growing public health concern, affecting millions of people worldwide. It occurs when a person has an excessive amount of body fat, which can lead to a variety of health problems, including sexual health issues. In this article, we will discuss the relationship between obesity and sexual health issues.
Obesity and Sexual Function in Men:
Obesity can have a negative impact on sexual function in men. One study found that men with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher were more likely to experience erectile dysfunction (ED) than men with a lower BMI. ED is a condition in which a man has difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection. Obesity can lead to ED by causing damage to blood vessels and nerves, which are important for erectile function.
Obesity can also lead to a decrease in testosterone levels in men. Testosterone is a hormone that plays a key role in sexual function, and low levels of testosterone can lead to a decrease in libido (sexual desire) and erectile function.
Obesity and Sexual Function in Women:
Obesity can also have a negative impact on sexual function in women. One study found that women with a BMI of 30 or higher were more likely to experience sexual dysfunction than women with a lower BMI. Sexual dysfunction in women can include a decrease in libido, difficulty achieving orgasm, and pain during intercourse.
Obesity can lead to sexual dysfunction in women by causing hormonal imbalances. Excess body fat can lead to an increase in estrogen levels, which can disrupt the balance of hormones that are important for sexual function.
Obesity and Infertility:
Obesity can also lead to fertility issues in both men and women. In men, obesity can lead to a decrease in testosterone levels, which can lead to a decrease in sperm production and quality. In women, obesity can lead to hormonal imbalances, which can disrupt the menstrual cycle and make it more difficult to conceive.
Obesity and Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs):
Obesity can also increase the risk of contracting sexually transmitted infections (STIs). One study found that women with a BMI of 30 or higher were more likely to have an STI than women with a lower BMI. This may be due to the fact that obesity can weaken the immune system, making it more difficult for the body to fight off infections.
Obesity and Body Image:
Obesity can also have a negative impact on body image, which can lead to sexual health issues. People who are overweight or obese may feel self-conscious about their bodies, which can lead to a decrease in sexual desire and satisfaction.
In conclusion, obesity can have a significant impact on sexual health. Obesity can lead to sexual dysfunction, fertility issues, an increased risk of STIs, and body image issues. If you are concerned about your weight and its impact on your sexual health, it is important to speak with your healthcare provider to discuss your options for weight management and to develop a plan to maintain a healthy weight.
The modern era has brought significant advancements in technology, medicine, and other areas. However, it has also brought a host of new health challenges, which are often referred to as diseases of the modern era. These diseases are typically characterized by chronic conditions that can have a significant impact on a person’s quality of life. In this article, we will discuss some of the most common diseases of the modern era and how to control them.
Obesity:
Obesity is a condition characterized by excessive body fat, which can have a significant impact on a person’s health. It is a major risk factor for a variety of health conditions, including type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and certain types of cancer. To control obesity, it is important to maintain a healthy diet, engage in regular physical activity, and maintain a healthy weight.
Diabetes:
Diabetes is a chronic condition that occurs when the body cannot produce or use insulin effectively, leading to high blood sugar levels. There are two main types of diabetes: type 1 and type 2. Type 2 diabetes is the most common form and is typically associated with obesity and a sedentary lifestyle. To control diabetes, it is important to maintain a healthy diet, engage in regular physical activity, and monitor blood sugar levels.
Cardiovascular Disease:
Cardiovascular disease is a term that refers to a range of conditions that affect the heart and blood vessels. These conditions include high blood pressure, coronary artery disease, and stroke. To control cardiovascular disease, it is important to maintain a healthy diet, engage in regular physical activity, and manage risk factors such as high blood pressure and high cholesterol.
Mental Health Disorders:
Mental health disorders, such as depression and anxiety, are becoming increasingly common in the modern era. These conditions can have a significant impact on a person’s quality of life and can also increase the risk of other health problems. To control mental health disorders, it is important to seek professional help, engage in regular exercise, and practice stress-reducing techniques such as meditation and mindfulness.
Cancer:
Cancer is a condition characterized by the growth and spread of abnormal cells in the body. It is a leading cause of death worldwide, and the incidence of cancer is increasing in the modern era. To control cancer, it is important to engage in healthy behaviors such as not smoking, maintaining a healthy weight, and limiting alcohol consumption. Regular cancer screenings can also help detect cancer early when it is most treatable.
Conclusion:
The diseases of the modern era are a significant health challenge that requires a comprehensive approach to control. Maintaining a healthy diet, engaging in regular physical activity, managing risk factors such as high blood pressure and high cholesterol, seeking professional help for mental health disorders, and practicing healthy behaviors such as not smoking and limiting alcohol consumption are all important steps to control these diseases. By taking these steps, we can reduce the burden of these diseases and improve our overall health and well-being.
Homeopathy is a medical science and art developed over 200 years ago by Samuel Hahnemann, a brilliant physician and medical translator in Germany. It quickly became the medicine of choice among many Europeans. Homeopathy gained great fame due to its success during epidemics, and, by 1900, it was practiced by one in five medical doctors in the U.S.
Over the past thirty years, homeopathy has enjoyed a boom in popularity and interest in the U.S., India, Pakistan, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and many other places throughout the world. According to the World Health Organization, homeopathy is the second-largest and fastest-growing medicine in the world. In India alone, 100 million people use it exclusively to stay healthy. Up to 70% of French doctors consider homeopathy effective, and at least 25,000 prescribe it to their patients. A 2011 report by the government of Switzerland, a bastion of pharmaceutical headquarters, concluded that homeopathic medicine was both effective and cost-effective, and recommended that it be covered by their national health insurance (according to a February 2012 article in the Huffington Post by Dana Ullman, M.P.H.).
Homoeopathy is a system of medicine founded by the celebrated physician Dr. Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843) of Germany. It is based on the principle that ‘like cures like’. In practice, this means that a medicine capable of producing certain effects when taken by a healthy human being is capable of curing any illness that displays similar effects.
The medicines of Homoeopathy
Like Cure Likes
For example, if a healthy person takes a dose of Arsenic, he will develop vomiting, diarrhea of rice-water stools, a rapid pulse, and prostration. His skin will become cold and his expression anxious. In smaller doses or when taken for a longer time, he will develop a running nose, heavy head, cough, and bronchial catarrh. Even later there will be specific disturbances of skin and nerves. He will develop a burning sensation all over which is relieved by warmth, frequent thirst for sips of water, fear of death, restlessness, and a worsening of symptoms at noon and midnight.
According to Homoeopathic law ‘like cures like’, countless patients displaying such symptoms have been cured by the homeopathic remedy Arsenicum album, irrespective of the name of the disease (cholera, colds, eczema, asthma, etc.).
Hippocrates postulated this principle in the words, “Similia Similibus Curentur” (‘likes are cured by likes).
The practice of homeopathy is based on certain fundamental principles. Firstly, the remedies that are used are tested on human volunteers (provers) to elicit the symptoms they can produce. The symptoms of each remedy experienced by the provers are recorded in exact detail and they form the Homoeopathic Materia Medica. The symptoms of the patient are then matched with the symptoms of the various remedies in the Materia Medica to find out a single remedy whose symptoms are most similar to those of the patient (like cures like).

Homeopathy is a form of alternative medicine that was developed in the late 18th century by a German physician named Samuel Hahnemann. It is based on the principle of “like cures like,” which means that a substance that causes symptoms in a healthy person can be used in diluted form to treat similar symptoms in a sick person.
According to the principles of homeopathy, each person is unique and must be treated as an individual, taking into account their physical, mental, and emotional symptoms. Homeopathic remedies are prepared by diluting a substance in water or alcohol and then vigorously shaking it. This process is called succussion and is believed to transfer the healing properties of the substance to the diluent.
Homeopathy uses very small doses of the remedy, often diluted to the point where no molecules of the original substance remain. This is called “potentization,” and it is believed to make the remedy more effective by increasing its energetic or vibrational qualities.
Homeopathic remedies are chosen based on the principle of “totality of symptoms,” which means that the remedy must match all the physical, mental, and emotional symptoms of the person being treated. Homeopathy is used to treat a wide range of conditions, including acute illnesses like colds and flu, chronic conditions like allergies and asthma, and mental health disorders like anxiety and depression.
Critics of homeopathy argue that the dilution process renders the remedies ineffective and that any perceived benefits are due to the placebo effect. Despite these criticisms, homeopathy continues to be used by millions of people around the world and is recognized as a legitimate form of healthcare in many countries.

The process of potentisation brings out the latent medicinal energy in those substances. By virtue of this process, anything from sand (Silica) to moonlight (Luna) can be used as medicine in homeopathy. The medicines are derived from the following sources:
This is a fundamental principle of Homeopathy is that it treats the patient as a whole and as an individual. There is no medicine for any particular disease, but there is a medicine for the patient suffering from the disease. ‘the individual, not the disease is the entity’ said the celebrated Sir William Osler.
The homeopath takes into consideration all the symptoms, that distinguish a person as an individual. Even a salesman of ready-made suits must try to fit the ready-made suit. Homeopathy enquires into the details of the patient’s past and family history, his appetite, thirst, bowel habits, sleep, etc., and most importantly his temperament.
It is increasingly acknowledged these days that the mind and body are interlinked. We now see the rapid rise of the holistic concept of disease with an emphasis on its psychosomatic aspect. Hahnemann recognized all this long ago and stressed that bodily and mental symptoms are to be taken together to form the portrait of the disease. The Homeopathics material medica is rich in mental symptoms and we especially use them in the selection of remedies.
The present problem of the patient is not usually an isolated occurrence. It is part of a sequence. The family history and the events through childhood are taken into account as homeopathy treats not only the present symptoms, but the entire sequence, thereby preventing the progress of the disease. Children under homeopathic treatment grow into more healthy adults, they find relief from the scourge of bad inheritance as well.
It has been said that the child is a father of the man. Thus, even in an infant, we can perceive the beginnings of future illness. The infant may perspire so much about its head during sleep as to soak a pillow. Perhaps the fontanelles are slow in closing. The child may be slow in walking and teething and develop the habit of eating mud and chalk. She looks fat, but there is no strength. She may develop enlarged tonsils. She catches colds very often and each cold further enlarges the tonsils. The menses occur too soon and are profuse. She feels cold all the time and lacks energy. Slowly a cough begins and there is the faintest trace of fever. There is a desire for cold milk and eggs. The cough further worsens and the evening fever becomes well-marked, the X-ray shows tuberculosis.
One can see that TB did not appear all at once; it has evolved from childhood. The signs of ill health were all there. They indicate the homeopathic medicine Calcarea carbonica. Had this remedy been given in infancy, the girl would not have developed the later troubles. But it is never too late. Even now Homeopathy will build up her health. In this way, many a problem child has been helped to normalcy by homeopathy.
Good homeopathy learns t perceive disease as a continually evolving process that begins in the womb and unless arrested and cured, end in the tomb. There are many measures to palliate and ease the patient, but the journey continues unless treated on homeopathic principles.
In fact, most, if not all curative therapies (including some forms of psychotherapy, meditation, etc. ) are (consciously or unconsciously) based on the “Similie” principle. The homeopath applies this principle scientifically and systematically using carefully tested medicines.
Sometimes in the course of homeopathic treatment, the history of past illness appears briefly in the reverse order, like a film being played backward. When this happens, we know that not only the present but also its cause in the past has been treated and the future is secure.
To a homeopath, the knowledge of anatomy, physiology, medicine, surgery, and gynecology is necessary since he has to examine the patient and come to a diagnosis. This will help him to know the natural course of the ailment and to manage the case well.
But his most important task is to understand the individuality of each patient fully and correctly, so that he may select the right remedy.
The practice of homeopathy convinces the physician to regard the body as more than a sum of its parts. Unlike a machine, it develops, carries on its function, and repairs itself independently. In this sense, everyone carries within him his own doctor. Ancient physicians were familiar with this natural power of the organism to control disease and they invented for it a beautiful expression ‘Vis Medicatrix Nature’ (Healing Power of Nature). This healing power is a function of the life force itself. Hahnemann called it Vital Force. Disease is recognized as a disturbance of this vital force. For example, out of ten people who get wet in the rain, only one developed pneumonia. Most bacteria can affect us only when our own healing power is of low resistance. Homeopathic medicine aims to correct this disturbed vital force and thus enhances the power of the body to heal itself. It does not aim at removing the symptoms of the parts affected but treats the cause and restores to health. According to Homeopathy, symptoms are a reflection of disturbed vital force.
Sickness is like a sitar whose correct tuning has been disturbed. Naturally, all the notes from such a sitar will be far more melodious. There is no use in trying to correct the individual notes. It is the disturbance in the tuning itself that has to be corrected.
The founder of homeopathy, Hahnemann’s scientific experiments led him to the process of potentization. A step-by-step dilution and jerking of the drug makes it extremely powerful and at the same time renders it harmless. This is in direct contrast to the toxic drugs of modern medicine, and their ‘side effects’. Potencies administered by Homeopathy range from a mother tincture to the 1,00,000th potencies. The sixth potency will have a rough dilution of one drop of the original drug substance diluted in a lake full of water. Each potency is 100 times more dilute than the previous one. Imagine the 1,00,000th dilution!
No one has been able to satisfactorily explain how the remedies act when diluted to such fantastic limits. Yet, potencies are found to act very powerfully. It seems that in the process of potentization, the stored energy of the drug is liberated.
How quickly you will notice improvement, after beginning homeopathic care, depends on the specific health concern, and on whether you take a single-dose or repeated medicine. With acute problems, such as flu or a bladder infection, you should notice a significant improvement within several hours. With chronic problems, you should notice some change within a week or two after beginning treatment. You may experience a brief worsening of already existing symptoms, which is a good sign. This will be followed by an overall improvement, not only of your chief complaint, but of most or all of your symptoms. Or you may just start feeling better. We wait five to six weeks before your second appointment in order to give the healing response enough time to evaluate carefully.
2. Long-Term Response
With many conditions, we estimate at least a 70 percent improvement in symptoms in order for us to feel satisfied that your medicine is correct. Again, this depends on a variety of factors. After six months to a year, you should feel significant, even remarkably, better regarding your specific problem, energy, mental clarity, and more. We recommend that you continue with treatment for at least a year to maximize your healing. Many of our patients have continued with us for ten years or longer. In our experience, they are generally much healthier than the general population. At the beginning of treatment, your appointments will be every four weeks. As you feel better and better, they will be less often.
