HOMOEOPATHY ACTS ACUTELY IN ACUTES
     

      Most of the people and young Homoeopathic physicians fear that Homoeopathy acts very slowly in acute cases like fever etc., thus it can not relieve quickly. So as, many physicians advise to take allopathy Rx along the Homoeo treatment.
      But my experience teaches me and that’s what I want to share with you is, it is more easy to treat the acute cases than chronic as in acute cases, you have the remedy in front of you and you have to just identify it. Where as, in chronic cases you have to choose the very similar remedy among the indicated medicines.

      A 40 years male came complaining high fever associated with vomitings since 2 days; Temp. 1020 F; Chill +, wants to cover. He wants to strain his mind with his occupation which is giving him much relief. I am just thinking about the routine prescription like Ars. Alb or any seasonal remedies enquired about his vomitings. He said it is after mid night; better after eating. It strike a bit unusual so as gone through Kent Rep where I could find the only remedy Ferr.met. I gave him the same remedy 1 dose in 200 potency within 12 hours, the temperature came down to normal and no vomitings. He even did not have the weakness after such a high fever for two days. Later, when I analyze the case I found the other symptoms like fever better by mental exertion which I totally neglected; vomitings after mid night also indicating only to the Ferr.met.

      I conclude saying Homoeopathy acts acutely in all the cases if the indicated remedy is given. So, the failure of acute cases is the failure of the homoeopathic physician but not the Homoeopathic Medicine or the Homoeopathic system.
