Homeopathy is a medical system based on the art of observation of the individual as a whole rather than suppression of the symptoms produced by the disease. Samuel Hahnemann was one of the first westerners to link mind and body in the treatment of disease. The disease state affects the whole person and so the cause of the problem needs to be understood and addressed. Treatment of symptoms alone (allopathic) may drive the disease deeper into the “economy”—this is called suppression. The vital force has the ability to heal itself. Homeopathic remedies tap into the vital force in order to correct any energy block by removing the cause of the state of disease. The “symptoms” are the “outer reflection” of the disease and may look different in each person. Example: anger. Possible physical symptoms in different individuals: joint pain, ulcers, rash, itching. The remedy that is chosen is reflective of the whole person in their current state and not the specific symptom alone.

This method of treatment is concerned primarily with discovering the “central disturbance” in the person, which arises from a delusion held in the unconscious about his self-image, his position in the world, or from a trauma that occurred long before. The resolution of this central disturbance and the symptoms it produces will occur when the underlying delusion is discovered and neutralized with a homeopathic remedy. For example: a child is lost in a store and becomes afraid that she will never see her parents again. A. Panic—I will never pass this point. B. Fear—I am utterly alone. These are just two examples of delusion. This feeling can be so locked down in the unconscious that the adult continues to react to acute situations “as if” the original trauma were occurring in the present.

So it follows that the delusion is the key to the disease and its many different forms as the person encounters life. By establishing awareness through processing feelings and providing the correct remedy
