Does Homoeopathy has a role in Psychosomatic ailments?

Answer 1

Homeopathy is based on the philosophy that the body, mind and emotions are not really separate and distinct, but are actually fully integrated. Homeopathy believes that a person's experience in emotional (emotions are closely related to person's glands and nerves) and mental (state of mind) life can not be separated from their physical complaints. Homeopathic physicians take physical as well as mental (state of the mind) symptoms. Thus homeopathic medicines act on body and mind level, and can cure mental and emotional disturbed states. Therefore they are excellent for psychosomatic diseases such as Migraine, Asthma, Peptic ulcer, Allergy, Ulcerative colitis, etc. Perhaps no other system of medicine has such a superb approach of tackling the mind-body disorders with definite therapeutic agents. Homoeopathic remedies are capable of influencing the state of mind. They can specifically act to alleviate emotional disturbance such as excessive anxiety, irritability, insecurity, obsessive traits, undue jealousy, suspicion (paranoid) fears, depression, neurosis etc. By relieving the emotions such as above, homeopathic remedies bring about harmonious state of health. Thus homoeopathy demonstrates the possibility of the highest goal of medicine, the therapy for the person rather than for the disease alone.
