Our body is somewhat like a spinning wheel. No matter the assault from outside forces, it has the resilience and also the innate ability to return to its upright position, naturally.
A person in good health and optimal well-being is apparently in a state of homeostasis — in other words, a harmonious state. It also mirrors our ability to maintain reasonably constant metabolic activity, notwithstanding zillions of incessant goings-on within the body. Such functions are, of course, part of the normal physiological process — internal or external — during which the body responds to changes suitably.
In simple terms, homeostasis denotes an unchanging condition. However, in reality, it connotes a dynamic, ever changing state within the perimeter of ‘tapered’ limits. Whenever such a ‘fine’ balance is in jeopardy, or misplaced, in the wake of illness, or disease, there is peril waiting to happen — to destabilise the well-being of the individual.
CHEMICAL POWERHOUSE
When we have our breakfast, before we rush to office, the whole process brings about certain internal changes. The first thing you know is there is enough ‘ammo’ in your tummy, and you have to do something about it. The next thing you know, or have heard someone tell you, is the food is being broken down into simple chemicals your body can use. The protein in your breakfast, to cull one example, is digested into amino acids, or chemical building blocks. These are, thereafter, used by the cells in the body to produce their own specific proteins.
What does this signify, or connote? That our body functions with a sense of regularity, or dynamic balance. In other words, it relates to the functional realm of our being, our physiology, or self-regulatory mechanisms, or feedback chains, or systems, that ‘fuel’ basic adjustments in our functional sphere. For example, when the carbon dioxide content of our blood begins to ascend, we breathe-in air more deeply. Likewise, when we drink far too much coffee, or tea, we pass more urine.

Chronic Illness, Immunity & Homeopathy
We, homeopaths, were right in our opposition to the use of allopathic pharmaceutical medicine, at the ‘drop’ of a symptom. This is primarily because homeopathy, when seen from a health ecology/ microbiome/immunity/environmental perspective, makes fundamental biological sense. Its principles are universally applicable; they have also shown clinical evidence of efficacy, across a wide range of conditions and fields that include physical and mental health.
Kiara Advani's Wellness Mantra
Kiara Advani is one of Indias most alluringly attractive actresses. She made her acting debut in the comedy film, Fugly [2014].
The Application Of The Law Of Similars In Homeopathic Clinical Practice
It is to be presumed that all homeopaths agree on the universal law of cure appertaining to the exclusive therapeutics of our healing art. Dr Samuel Hahnemann, MD, the founder of homeopathy, has fully explained, by logical arguments, to be found in the 53rd to 56th paragraphs of his Organon, that there can be no other possible law applied for the cure of the sick than the law of the similars.
Homeopathy Is Patient-Centric Medicine
Homeopathy is patient-centric, energy medicine. A medicine repeatedly taken by a healthy person causes symptoms; but, in a sick person with those symptoms, that remedy makes the symptoms disappear. In order to find the bespoke remedy, a homeopath gets at and to the essence, finding the most similar remedy.
The Hypersensitive Individual: Hope & Understanding Thro' Homeopathy
There is so much hoopla for hypersensitivity as a new condition. It has always existed. It was, in fact, Dr Samuel Hahnemann, MD, the father of homeopathy, who first formulated the concept and estimated that 10 per cent of his patients were hypersensitive. Well, the fact also is homeopathy, as always, looks out for the initial sensitive cause and treats the whole person. In so doing, it helps to resolve their sensitive disorder and establishes balance to their sensitivity so that the world becomes a friendlier place to live in.
Caulophyllum & Pregnancy
The homeopathic Caulophyllum is a beautiful remedy for women in their childbearing years... for certain conditions during pregnancy, labour, or after birth. In late pregnancy, it is useful for annoying contractions. In long-drawn-out labour, it is needed for extremely painful, ineffective contractions that do not ‘work.’
Ferrum Metallicum: The Red, Hot Homeopathic Remedy
The analysis of each homeopathic remedy is always fascinating as it reveals a myriad of characteristics associated not only with the substance, from which the remedy is derived, but also their historical, mythological and astronomical framework that many of them embody. Ferrum Metallicum is a good, also interesting, example in the context.
Homeopathy & Flu
Most homeopaths are taught that when a person develops an acute illness, such as flu, it could be an exacerbation of their chronic complaints. If this is, indeed, the case, chronic symptoms may persist during the acute illness, but with the cold, or flu, symptoms added on. What also often helps the patient is a repetition of their constitutional remedy.
Huma Qureshi's Wellness Mantra
Huma Qureshi is synonymous with her pivotal roles in the Gangs of Wasseypur [1 and 2], D-Day, Dedh Ishqiya and Ek Thi Daayan.
Migraine & Homeopathy
Homeopathy should always be offered to migraine sufferers, because for most, if not all, individuals, the results can be incredible. What’s more, the most unrelenting of migraines often ease with homeopathic treatment too, resulting in far fewer migraine attacks of less severity and also shorter duration.
