The importance of keynotes of Homeopathic remedies - Urdu




بہت سے نامور ڈاکٹر وں کی کتابیں  زیر مطالعہ رہی ہیں ۔مطالعہ کرنا اچھی بات ہے لیکن ان کی لکھی ہوئی سب باتیں تسلیم کرلینا ضروری نہیں ہوتا۔ خاص طور پر میٹریا میڈیکا ان کے لکھے ہوئے ہم دیکھتے ہیں کہ اہم ادویات کے خواص انہوں نے کئی صفحات میں بیان کئے ہیں ۔آپ نے محسوس کیا ہو گا کہ ان طول طویل تحریروں کو پڑھ کر آپ کا ذہن الجھ جا تا ہےاور نہ ہی یہ ممکن ہے کہ ان کو یاد رکھا جا سکے ۔ مثال کے طور پر ایک نامور ڈاکٹر کی کتاب میں صرف اکونائٹ دوا کا بیان اٹھایئس صفحات پر مشتمل ہے۔ ایسی اہم ادویات کی تعداد آپ کو معلوم ہے بہت سی ہیں ۔ ان سب کی تمام علاما ت یاد رکھنا ممکن نہیں ۔ غالباً ان صاحبان نے 
  ایک کی لکیر پر کچھ رد و بدل کر کے نئی لکیر مار دی ہے۔  نہ معلوم کیوں؟

ہر دوا کی چند مخصوص علامات ہوتی ہیں  جو یاد بھی رکھی جاسکتی ہیں ۔ مثلاً اکونائٹ کی خصوصیت صرف یہ ہے
علامات اچانک ظاہر ہوتی ہیں اور ان میں بڑی شدت پائی جاتی ہے ۔ مثال کے طور پر ایک مریض کو اچانک سردی لگ جاتی ہے جس کے سبب نزلہ‘کھانسی‘بخار‘پیاس ‘بے چینی ‘درد وغیرہ علامات شدت سے ظاہر ہوتی ہیں۔ اکونائٹ صحیح دوا ہے۔ اسی طرح صرف درد‘صر ف کھانسی ‘صرف نزلہ مگر کوئی بخار نہیں ۔ اچانک مذکورہ علامات ظاہر ہوتی ہیں  پھر بھی اکونائٹ دوا ہے ۔صرف دوا الفاظ ذہن میں رکھنا کافی ہے --  اچانک‘شدت۔


ہر دوا کی علامات بکھرے ہوئے موتیوں کی طرح ہیں۔ ان میں سچے موتی بھی ہیں اور کم قیمتی موتی بھی۔ ان میں سے سچے موتی نکال کر دماغ کی جیب میں ڈال لیں۔ حسب ضرورت جوہری (مریض ) کو جا کر دیں۔ خوب متاثر ہو کر انہیں قبول کرلے گا۔صحیح پورا پورا معاوضہ دے گا۔ شکریہ بھی ادا کرے گا۔ کم قیمت والے موتی بھی کبھی کبھی کام آ جاتے ہیں۔ سچے موتی آپ دے چکے آپ کی ضرورت پوری نہیں ہوئی۔ آپ کم قیمت والے موتیوں پر نگاہ ڈالتے ہیں ان میں قیمت کے لحاظ سےکم و بیش فرق ہے۔ ان میں سے بہتر نکال کر آپ ضرورت پوری کر سکتے ہیں۔ آپ چند مثالوں سےسمجھیں ۔

ایک عورت دس گیارہ ماہ کے بچے کو اٹھائے آپ کے سامنے کرسی پر آ بیٹھتی ہے اور بچہ رونے لگتا ہے ۔عورت کھٹری ہو جاتی ہے بچہ خاموش ہو جاتا ہے ۔اگر آپ کو کیمو ملا کی علامات یاد ہیں تو فورا ذہن میں آئے گی ۔پھر پوچھنے سے معلوم ہو گا کہ بچے کو بڑے بدبودار جلاب آرہے ہیں ۔ کبھی کبھی قے بھی کر دیتا ہے ۔ وہ بھی بد بو دار ۔ضد کرتاہے کہ اٹھائے لئے پھرو۔ دانت بھی نکال رہا ہے ۔

ایک بھاری بھر کم موٹی عورت‘دیہاتی چوہدرانی ہے ‘آ کر شکایت کرتی ہے کہ اس کا ہاضمہ اکثر خراب رہتاہے۔  غذا ہضم نہیں ہوتی۔ کھٹے ڈکار آتے ہیں۔ سینہ جلتا ہے۔ گھبراہٹ ہوتی ہے ۔ اتنی سردی پڑ رہی ہے اور وہ دروازے کھڑکیاں کھول کر سوتی ہے ۔کیا پلساٹلا کی علامات نہیں ؟
زمیندار لوگ ہیں ۔دودھ ‘مکھن ‘گھی کا استعمال زیادہ ہے اس لئے ہاضمہ خراب ہو گیا ۔



ایک تعلیم یافتہ عورت آ پ کے پاس آتی ہے ۔کہتی ہے کہ میں کمزور ہوتی جا رہی ہوں حالانکہ غذا اچھی ہے۔میں گھٹیا عورتوں کی طرح فضول گھٹیا چیزیں نہیں کھاتی ۔ کبھی ٹانگیں سن ہو جاتی ہیں کبھی بازو ۔کبھی سوچتے سوچتے سر سن ہو جاتا ہے اس کے طرز گفتگو سے اخذ کر لیتے ہیں کہ عورت متکبر ہے ‘اپنے آپ کو  بالاتر سمجھتی ہے ۔ اس کا اثر اس کے جسم پرہو رہا ہے ۔ دوا فوراً آپ کے ذہن میں پلاٹینا آنی چاہیے ۔

ایک دبلا پتلا شحض آکر کہتا ہے ‘میری صحت بگڑی جا رہی ہے ۔میں کلرک ہوں فلاں دفتر میں کام کرتا ہوں۔ بلاوجہ میرے افسر مجھ پر برستے رہتے ہیں ۔ میں بول نہیں سکتا ۔ رات دن کڑھتا رہتا ہوں ۔ دوا سٹیفس ہے ۔آپ اس کا پیشہ تو نہیں بدل سکتے۔ نصیحت کر سکتے ہیں کہ کڑھنے سے فائدہ نہیں آپ کا نقصان ہی نقصان ہے ۔پرواہ نہ کیا کریں اور اگر آپ کا مزاج ایسا ہے تو کبھی کبھی یہ دوا لے لیا کریں ۔

مریضہ کہتی ہے  مجھے دردیں ہوتی ہیں ۔کبھی یہاں کبھی وہاں ۔ رات کو تو میں کمرے میں سو نہیں سکتی ۔ درد جہاں بھی ہو رہا ہو زیادہ ہو جاتا ہے ۔ سردی ہے لیکن میں رات کو برآمدے میں جا سوتی ہوں ۔ دوا پلساٹلا میں کو ئی شبہ نہیں ۔

اسی طرح کی علامات مریضہ بیان کرتی ہے۔ کہتی ہے  دردیں ہیں کبھی ادھر کبھی ادھر اور سردی تو مجھ سے برداشت ہی نہیں ہوتی ۔ دردیں بڑھ جاتی ہیں ۔ زیادہ موسم سرد بھی نہیں مگر میں لحاف لے کر بند کمرے میں سوتی ہوں اس کی دوا سائیکلامن ہے ۔ پلساٹیلا اور سائیکلامن کی علامات ایک جیسی ہیں ۔پہلی کا مزاج گرم ‘کھلی ٹھنڈی ہوا پسند ہے اور دوسری سرد مزاج‘گرمی میں سکون ملتا ہے ۔ 

میکانکی ٹیسٹ بعض مریضوں کے مطلوب ہوتے ہیں لیکن اگر آپ بڑی محنت اور رجوع کریں گے علامات آپ کے دماغ میں عضو  ماؤف کی تصویر کھینچ لیں گی ۔ علامات سن کر آپ کا دماغ کیمرے کا کام کرے گا۔ مرض کی نوعیت صرف فعلی بگاڑ ہے ‘ورم کی کون سی کیفیت ہے ‘ ساخت بگڑ چکی ہے،نوساخت تو نہیں۔ محنت اور رجوع کی ضرورت ہے ۔پھر شاید کبھی کبھی سٹیتھوسکوپ‘ ایکسرے وغیرہ کی ضرورت پڑے گی۔

Big Pharma needs sick people to prosper





"Big Pharma needs sick people to prosper. Patients, not healthy people, are their customers. If everybody was cured of a particular illness or disease, pharmaceutical companies would lose 100% of their profits on the products they sell for that ailment. What all this means is because modern medicine is so heavily intertwined with the financial profits culture, it’s a sickness industry more than it is a health industry."

Confusing Rubric Coquettish - not enough in the homeopathic repertories


Q: One rubric that has always had me confused is "Coquettish - not enough" - does that mean if I don't make eyes at my homeopath, it's a sign of pathology?




A: The English dictionary meaning of COQUETTISH is "trying to gain the attention of men without serious feelings", which, right or wrongly, defines it as a women-only symptom.
To understand the intended meaning of rubrics in the Repertory, it is a good practice to read its subrubrics. In this case, they are "not enough" and "too much". Whereas we may understand that someone can be "too coquettish", it is much harder to understand how a woman can be "not coquettish enough": do women need to be "not serious"?


So we need a small investigation, across languages this time. Although several authors contributed to this rubric, the origin of this rubric is found in Jean-Pierre Gallavardin's work (Répertoire de médecine psychique). If we check the French dictionaries we see that "coquette" is defined as "desiring to please" or even just "gracious and elegant". It is stipulated that a coquettish person tries to please the person of the opposite sex, so not a women-only symptom.

Consequently, the symptom definition of coquettish should be "desiring to please the opposite sex by grace and elegance". That can be achieved by one or more of these tool kits:
  1. - make up (women: lipstick, eye shadow, eyelashes; both sexes: perfume)
  2. - clothing (both sexes: décolleté, flashy colors; women: high heels) 
  3. - gestures (both sexes: ways to look, to move the hands, the hips)
For sure, some readers will not agree with some examples. That is normal, because, as for any symptom, we must consider the "context" of the symptom. Possible contexts are: age, race, country, religion, sex, etc. 

Young girls going to a party will be called (not enough) coquettish following different criteria than women adhering a religion which forbids any coquetry.

To know whether it is a symptom making up your eyes to see a homeopath, you need to consider what most women in the same context would do.


At last, be aware that George Vithoulkas added sulphur to this rubric. That confirms the above- mentioned way to use this rubric: sulphur has "Mind - Indifference - appearance; to his personal", "Mind - Elegance - want of elegance" and "Mind - Tastelessness in dressing". All these are cross-references to our symptom under investigation.

Less is More! Are you giving too many homeopathic remedies to your kids?




by Amy Rothenberg, ND, DHANP

I RECENTLY WAS BLESSED TO BECOME an aunt, with my younger sister having her first child. This beautiful addition to our family is a wonderful and welcome event. And it allows me, as the doctor in the family, to play a special role. I get to hear and respond to worries and concerns at all hours of the day and night! I hear questions about the baby like, "What should we do about incessant crying? Sleep difficulties? Bothersome rashes? A runny nose?"

I also get questions from the new mother about shifts in her own digestion, problems with breastfeeding, and issues such as moodiness and irrational worry. While they have me on the line, the grandmother or uncle from the "other side" might throw in a question or two about their own health concerns! I am generally quite gracious in these situations and offer advice, referrals, and support.

The ideal baby gift?
When a baby is born to a family member, I debate long and hard about whether to give that family a homeopathic first-aid kit. With new parents in my practice, I go through a similar process deciding whether to recommend that they obtain a kit. At first glance, it seems that every family should have a homeopathic first-aid kit, as it will make giving a remedy at home that much easier. If I am prescribing by telephone for an acute situation, the family will have the remedies right at hand.


But that quick and easy access to homeopathic remedies might not always be the best thing. There is something tempting about "fixing" all the little problems or trying to "nip things in the bud." With new mothers and fathers who have not had the experience of weathering the ups and downs of the first few years of life, I have found that education and encouragement are often times more indicated than homeopathic remedies. This internal debate has led me to the following thoughts about when it's a good idea for parents to prescribe homeopathic remedies for their children in acute health situations-and when it's best to keep the lid on the remedy kit closed.

When not to use homeopathy at home 
1. When a situation is severe or life threatening, the best place for the child is with those who are expert at treating emergencies-that is, in the hospital. We cannot be wed to our philosophical beliefs about health care when a child's life is in danger. We can always go back to natural medicine once the child is safe. It is fine, however, to use a homeopathic remedy on the way to the emergency room or while under allopathic care.


2. While your child is under homeopathic constitutional care, any prescribing for acute conditions should be done in consultation with your homeopath. Often times the acute situation can offer the practitioner insight and information about ongoing treatment needed by that child. If parents are quick to give remedies for each set of symptoms, this can deny the practitioner potentially useful information about the way the child either reacted to the remedy or manifests acute illness-both important bits of data for case analysis and long-term follow-up care. This is especially true for the child who is being treated constitutionally for mental or emotional conditions like anxiety, depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, autistic spectrum disorders, seizure disorders, or any other chronic illness. Successful constitutional treatment for these children may mean that symptoms shift within or toward the physical plane, while more serious elements of the child's mental emotional symptomatology improve. In such cases, the homeopath may counsel the family that the new physical symptoms are not a true acute problem suitable for home treatment, and that enduring them or using non-homeopathic palliative care may offer the best opportunity for overall healing.

3. If you find you are giving acute remedies-the same one or different ones-frequently (e.g., every week or several times per month), it would mean to me that this child had certain patterns of illness and susceptibility that would benefit from constitutional care by a homeopathic professional.

4. If the problem is not long-lasting or severe and will pass on its own, I would not give a homeopathic remedy. Of course, it is difficult to know during the early stages whether an illness is going to be long-lasting. It will not hurt the child to have a cold, a minor cough, a passing skin rash, or to be cranky for a few days. I want all of our children to develop healthy immune systems, something that occasional, not-too-serious viral illnesses help them to do. I also want parents of children in my care to learn how to meet the emotional and physical needs of their children by trying many approaches, not only by giving homeopathic remedies.

5. Lastly, I would not recommend giving homeopathic remedies to siblings of sick children "just so they can have some, too." There are homeopaths who do prescribe prophylactically during an epidemic of say, whooping cough, but that is a matter for another article. Remedies have an effect. The point here is that homeopathic remedies do act; they do have an impact on people. Most of us would not offer our children (or prescribe for our patients) pharmaceutical products to be taken frequently, based on any fleeting symptom. Homeopathic remedies need to be treated with the same sort of respect.

When to treat at home 
It's a good idea to prescribe for your children's acute health problems when the following is true:


1. You've tried other natural, gentle approaches and they have not worked.

2. You know that, for the child in question, a particular set of prodromal (early) symptoms always leads to the same problem and you want to catch it early.

3. You are working with a qualified homeopathic practitioner and they recommend it.

4. Your child is not being treated constitutionally and the acute problems are infrequent. Keep in mind that, even when all of the above is true, it is good to offer a remedy only when the symptoms are clear and you can prescribe with at least a degree of confidence.

A balance in prescribing 
After reading this, I imagine that many of you will feel guilty, thinking you may have over-prescribed for those you love. Not to worry: it will rarely lead to any severe problems, emotional issues, or toxic, overdose symptoms. The worst that happens is that the overall case becomes muddied or difficult for the homeopath to analyze.


What we are looking for in our recommendations to family and friends is a balanced posture toward the prescribing of homeopathic remedies. Use them carefully when they are indicated and use them well. But you may want to consider putting that homeopathic first-aid kit a little higher on the bathroom shelf, so that you will be less tempted to grab a remedy at the first sign of any sickness.

As to my sister, I will probably wind up giving her that first-aid kit after all, to have on hand and dust off once in a while, when a remedy is really, truly indicated.

Homeopathic Treatment Of Children With Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)




Review of a Seminar by Paul Herscu, ND, DHANP
by Frank W. Gruber, M.D.

Paul Herscu has made quite a reputation as a pediatric prescriber, so I was quite excited to hear what he had to say about children with Attention Deficit Disorder and Hyperactivity. I knew, from previous classes with Paul, that he would be teaching practical information which I would be able to use in my own prescribing.
Paul is a very engaging speaker. He’s low key, organized, and humorous. He makes the learning experience fun. Behind the information in his lectures are hundreds of his own cured cases. His materia medica is what he himself has seen. He reviews his cases and pulls the information directly from symptoms that have been cured by the remedies he’s prescribed.
Over years of prescribing he has noticed patterns in the remedies he’s prescribed to hyperactive children. In following these cases, he’s noticed that the remedies he’s used have often fallen within a certain grouping. Moreover, as the patients got well, the follow-up remedies that they needed progressed in a certain order and direction. Paul has constructed a model for the selection of these remedies and how to follow up over time. If homeopathy is a science, one would expect patterns. There should be a certain predictability and reproducibility. Paul is giving us the benefit of years of analysis of his own cases and shows us that indeed our science of homeopathy does have patterns. It is comforting to know that patterns exist, and it is even more practical to know what they are.


Let me give you an example of what the class has meant in my own prescribing. A few months after the class I saw a hyperactive child who needed Hyoscyamus. She did extremely well on that remedy for months. One Saturday morning her mother called. The child was suddenly screaming with a very bad earache. I took the case over the phone and told her to give the child one dose of Stramonium 200 C, and to call me back in half an hour to let me know what was happening. Before Paul’s class I never thought of Stramonium that much as an acute remedy. In the class, Paul discussed in depth themateria medica of Stramonium which filled in the physical symptoms of the remedy for me. He maintains that all of the “hyperactive remedies” while mainly thought of for their mental-emotional components, also have well definable physical symptoms. They are complete remedies.
What really made me consider Stramonium, besides the fact that it was clearly indicated by the symptoms, was that, according to the progression of remedies that Paul presented, Hyoscyamus patients may pass through a Stramonium state as they get healthier.
Paul’s class on hyperactive children has given me a way to think about a whole class of remedies. His schema puts into perspective the way these remedies fit together, with the polychrests, the nosodes, and transitional remedies such asStramonium and Baryta carbonica. He then discussed two directions the patient can go from there: the true “far out” hyperactive remedies such as Hyoscyamus, Tarentula, Veratrum Album, in contrast with such remedies as Cannabis indica, Opium, Helleborus, and Bufo which are also “far out” but have a more depressed sensorium. He discussed the materia medica of all of these remedies (and more) with liberal video cases to represent them and to let you see his approach in action.
For me, the hyperactive remedies used to be very difficult to differentiate one from the other, because they share so many of the same symptoms. As Paul helped me understand these remedies more fully, I saw that they are all quite different. The reason they look so similar is that since they follow one another, I was very often seeing symptoms of remedies that will be required in the future for the patient. Once I understood the schema and the way the remedies progress during a curative response, it made a world of difference in my prescribing.
Interestingly enough, as I had success with a few hyperactive children, word got around quickly. Parents are very interested in getting help for their children to keep them off of Ritalin. The pediatric segment of my practice has grown by leaps and bounds.
The father of the child with the ear infection did call back a half hour after the remedy. I was surprised it wasn’t the mom who called. He said the patient was playing with her sister and that all symptoms of the earache were gone. The mother felt so confident in the vast improvement that she had gone out shopping! The bottom line is that I’ve been able to confidently use remedies like Hyoscyamus and realize that the next remedy will likely be one of those down the line in the schema.

Choosing Homeopathy for Children

(by Dr. Rothenberg)



There are so many choice to make as parents these days. Natural childbirth or not? To nurse or bottle feed? Cloth diapers or disposable? Family bed or crib?

How many years between children? What type of preschool or schooling? The choices and options for many families in our times are endless. So, too, for the kind of medical care to use. How much is safe to treat at home? When is it imperative to get the opinion of a trained medical professional? What if my partner and I don't agree?

In my last 25 years of practice, I have had the pleasure of working with many families, offering natural medicine choices for health care issues. Some patients come to me already certain they want to go the natural way. Others come in not really knowing the type of work I do as a naturopathic physician specializing in homeopathy. But they know someone who was helped with a similar problem, so they want the same "cure." Still others arrive quite skeptical, having been disappointed by previous therapies and attempts to help their child.

With homeopathy we can offer a non-toxic, effective, and inexpensive approach to first-aid, acute, and chronic health issues that arise in the course of raising a family.

First-aid and acute problems For first-aid and acute conditions, in the vast majority of situations, there are a limited number of homeopathic remedies that would be considered. Remedies that are used over and over again include: Aconite, Belladonna, Pulsatilla, Chamomilla, Sulphur, Arnica, Mercurius, and Arsenicum album. I truly do not know where I would be as a physician and as a mother without these dear friends in the medicine cabinet.

Thankfully, there are wonderful books on acute prescribing (available through the NCH), written in away that enables a parent to choose the correct remedy for things like bee stings, sore throats, teething, and diarrhea. Most of these books will also caution parents as to when it is essential to seek further medical care. No one wants to put a child at risk because of a philosophical belief in natural treatment. There is a time and a place for all types of medicine.

Chronic illness For children with chronic illness, constitutional homeopathy offers one type of approach that addresses the underlying causes of the illness and hopefully presents solutions to difficult physical, emotional, behavioral, and psychological problems. In constitutional treatment (for both children and adults), we give a homeopathic remedy for the whole person - their physical, mental, and emotional state.

I spend a fair amount of time trying to help people understand what it is I do and how the homeopath works. I take as much time as is necessary for the parent to learn that all aspects of the child will be important to me. I need to understand not just the particular diagnosis, but also how they experience their problem in all the minute details. I need to understand little things, like what and how they eat and how they sleep; things related to temperament and personality, like how they behave with new children or if they're more of a leader or a follower. I explain how I will be interested in the mother's pregnancy and in the child's earliest months, their development as well as their experience of school and their social lives.

We try to put the child's illnesses into the context of the rest of their lives and understand them in a complete way. Naturally, I will be observing the relationship between parent and child, how clingy they are, how they respond to limit -setting, how they communicate with each other-all of these are important to prescribing the correct remedy to help the child with whatever complaint caused the parent to make the appointment.

For this sort of constitutional care, it is good to have an objective person prescribe (i.e., not the parent!) and to follow the child over time. During constitutional care, some homeopaths will ask you not to treat your child at home for first-aid or acute conditions so as not to interfere with their treatment-other homeopaths may feel fine about home care.

So whether your child is prone to first-aid or acute illnesses or has a more chronic disease, having homeopathy more available than ever before, gives many families the choice of using this safe and effective approach.
