Lesson – 4

Physical Diseases
From the Goal setting, we understand that the life goal must be Healthy and
Peaceful life. At present, there are mainly three medical treatments under use.
They are
• Allopathy
• Homoeopathy and
• Ayurveda
One of these three systems, Homoeopathic system explains the relation between
mind and diseases. So, it is briefly presented here. Browse the related sites for
remaining Medicinal Systems.
Homoeo Medicine System Opinion of Mahatma Gandhi:
“Public can rightly tell you about its efficacy but however it is the latest and refined
method of treating the patient economically and non- violently. Government must
encourage and patronize it in our poor country. Late Dr. Hahnemann (Founder of
Homoeopathy) was a man of vast saving of human life having an unique
medical nerve. I bow before his skill and the Herculean and Humanitarian labour
he did. His memory wakes us again and you are to follow him, let the opponents
hate for the existence of the principles, practice of Homoeopathy which in reality
cures a larger percentage of cases than any other method of treatment and it is
beyond all doubt safer and more economical and to be most complete medical
science.”
Benefits of Homoeopathy:
• Smooth cure
• Natural cure
• No side effects
• Quick result (conditional)
• Cheapest medicine
• Specialised medicine for Psychological problems
• Even babies prefer to take medicine

Steps to deal Psychological problems
• Consult Psychologist for counselling
• If problem persists take Homoeo medicine
• If the behaviour is uncontrollable and harmful, consult Psychiatrist
Some people directly use sedatives for simple behavioural problems. Once, the
medicines are used, it is difficult to live without a medicine till the end of life and
suffer with serious side effects.
Diseases
We are suffering mainly from two types of diseases. They are
1. Acute diseases 2. Chronic diseases
Acute diseases
• Acute means starting suddenly
• Lasts for a short period of time only
• Suffering of Patient suffering is high
• It has a rapid beginning, rising and declining stages.
• The disease may be cured by the body itself or sometimes medicine is needed, eg.
Motions, Fevers, Cold etc.

Chronic diseases
• Chronic, a slow progression of imbalances being treated by allopathic sup-pressive
medicines turning into further and further complications.
• As the disease lasts it goes deeper into the human mind and physical body, even years go
by without let-up.
• These diseases also have a beginning and rising stages, if medical treatment is not given,
patient dies of the disease. Ex. Asthma, BP problem etc. German physician Dr.Samuel
Hahnemann (Father of Homoeopathy) first stated the basic principle of homeopathy in
1796. After careful observation and study, Hahnemann reached the conclusion that there
is an obstacle in the organism that cannot be fought with medicines or the healthiest
• diet or disappear by itself. He named this obstacle a “MIASM”. The word miasm means
infection, stain, dirtiness, and blotch ( Loukas, 2005). Hahnemann thought that the life
power is infected by certain factors and that this infection creates the disease. He
observed three miasms and the fourth one added by JH. Allen. The conditions that would
modify a miasm in a person’s body are climate, peculiar and physical character, mental
stress, excesses, or abuses, diet, habits and various customs.

Miasms
Various miasms are
1. Psora
2. Psychosis
3. Syphilis
4. Tubercular
These four miasms are the base of every disease. Any disease whatever its
external symptoms are, can be “found” in a miasm or in a combination of the
above miasms.
Psora
Psora The mother of all diseases goes back the farthest in human history. Psora or
“itch” is the monstrous internal chronic miasm, the only real fundamental cause and
producer of all the other numerous forms of disease. If we leave the itch body cures
naturally. When suppressed with medicines vital power, subsequently mind gets
polluted. This state can be called Psora.
Psora has passed on through hundreds of generations of people and has produced an
innumerable variety of defects, injuries, derangements, and sufferings. Some
common ailments attributed to the psoric miasm include constipation, psoriasis,
wide ranging itching, burning ailments, leprosy and other skin related symptoms.
