THE TRUTH UNCOVERED: WHY A HOMOEOPATH IS INTERESTED IN "INTRUSIVE" QUESTIONS: FINDING THE MYSTERY OF THE CHRONIC DISEASES.

     In this era of fast paced lifestyle, no one has really has time to provide with all the answers in a meticulous manner. Sometimes, its the patient, who is in a lot of hurry, despite of his health at stake-yet demanding a quick fix. While sometimes, its the physicians who may be pressed for time in crowded clinics. Everyone wants a quick and easy response. But, is this really something which is actually right? Is asking "intrusive" questions really key to a successful case approach? why Homoeopaths, ask so many question specially, during the first interview and is this really necessary for Homoeopaths? if yes, then why? lets dive in.

    Medical science, as a stream is a subject which carries many mysteries in itself while treating the patient in the opd. In my view, healing is rather less about matching a labels and more about the ability of the physicians to uncover mysteries in case through thoughtful intervention, in order to cure a patient.

    As a homoeopath, we believe that, disease is a process, a phenomenon, an array of abstractions and pathologies than just a mere snapshot, which continues to run for long and in the end forming a structural lesion at a respective site of the human body. In simple terms the clinical disease you see in the clinic, may be the end result of an entire long standing pre-process and not the disease per-se, specially in sub acute to chronic disorders,  This means that, the disease is ever evolving inside in a very specific as well as very subjective manner. Surprisingly, if you observe very closely, specially in chronic disorders, the diseases tends to be just more than a set of standard symptoms, which serve an almost negligible purpose specially for a homoeopath. The process which Homoeopaths term" individualisation". Here, you may curiously think, "why is individualising of such importance while treating a patient. lets understand simple reasons why.

1). UNDERSTANDING THE DISEASE PHENOMENON:In the first place it is of utmost importance, to find a clear cut cause of the disease process, along with this how rapid or erratic is the symptoms get produced and flaired up. This data furnishes the very basics about the patient like what are causes/triggers, the management, clinical tips to be given at the end. Commonly homoeopaths refer to this as the pathophysiology. which usually should include Cause,location, Aggravating or relieving factors.

2) UNDERSTAND THE ROLE OF PATIENTS OWN UNIQUE RESPONSE: To put it very simple, every body is different, it behaves differently, it reacts differently to the same stimulus. Though it may appear very simple at first glance, its not so simple there. Actually this unique way of response, contributes to the patients own individuality. Homoeopaths regard this as Miasmatic Evolutions. Basically, how our Entire economy is built to respond to the same stimulus from the environment time to time. Moreso, Thermal states also exhibit something about, how your body is utilising your resources, is it using it more than necessary? which creates more energy then required, thereby increasing energy utilisation, or is it absolutely depleted of basic resources leading to state of feeling cold inside. 

3)UNDERSTANDING PHYSICAL AND PSYCHOPHYSICAL IMBALANCES OR DEFICITS: As its widely considered and regarded, Cravings unlike desire, is a very strong cryptic demands of the body, which exhibits a lot of things going on at bichemical  level in the patients body Eg. in Homoeopathy,A person needing Antimonium crudum, craves acid, but why? This is because, his gastric wall is producing a whole lot more of mucous secretionthan needed, which in turn is dissolving the required concentration of HCL in the stomach, needed for digetion and absorption.means the body naturally craves acid to restore the acid base imbalance caused by excessive mucous secretions by the stomach wall.Thus,cravings,thirst,appetite,etc. give us the vital look of patients underlying biochemistry.

4) MAPPING THE GENETIC DISPOSITION AND CLINICAL HISTORY AND DIAGNOSIS TOWARDS THE PATIENT UNDERSTANDING: Past history, Family history, Drug history, etc. help in understanding the overall disposition,  which ususally helps the doctor differentiate minute distinguishing points and also get a fair idea how his body would usually progress, This is known as genetic predisposition or in simple words your bodys own way of presenting the symptoms against a given stimuli. 

5)SLEEP AND THOUGHTS: The most difficult sensitive and favourite of all requesite, becuase of the simple fact that, thought, behaviour, dealings etc in state of health and disease alter significantly. moreover many a times they may themselves act as trigger, added to that "dreams" in particular are also of important as dreams are nothing but UNEXPLORED,SUPPRESSED or REPRESSED EMOTIONS. These help us to navigate the case very effectively specially those who are introverts. 

6) LIFESTLE AND HABTIS: In today modern world, for practising successfully, diet and lifestyle and its repercussions on health.         

All these factors together integrate to give you an intricate and well balanced picture and give suitable advise and management.
