For this, we need to understand the concept of disease in its totality.

Every human being is a bundle of strengths and weaknesses.No one is perfect and therefore no one is ideal.

When exposed to a stress in the given environment, we start adapting to the stress…which in turn taxes our strengths.It makes us ‘stretch’. We derive all our resources to adapt through our strength.If the strengths dominate the process of adaptation..then we succeed in adapting to a given stress with a lesser cost-paid.

And if the weaknesses dominate the show..then we fail to achieve the expected adaptation in the given environment ..we fail.. with a major cost paid.

However,this stretch starts manifesting itself through certain signs and symptoms.. indicating the underlying disturbed functioning of the body, keeping the internal as well as the external structure of the body unaltered..(type..1.)

But every stretch has its limits. Stretching beyond certain limits leads to breaking.. giving rise to certain structural damages and symptoms related to it..(type..2.)

Similarly,at times our efforts to adapt end up getting a happy end result which helps us in strengthening our resources for a better adaptation in future... preventing many damages.Many a time one stretches to adapt to a given stress but ends up getting poor appreciation/encouragement from the environment, feeling more dejected, frustrated etc. Then, though there are resources to adapt one finds coping all the more difficult….at times impossible.. causing deeper damages.

Thus,our strengths and weaknesses play a major role in the process of adaptation..our strengths are our emotions.. our intellect.. and our physique..Same are the weaknesses.. if we change our perspective.

If we want to know a person,then we must know his/her mental and physical tendencies..which include his/her emotional, intellectual and physical propensities.

Once a Homeopath gets these details then his MAJOR task is over.. as he will get to know the qualities of the person and therefore the required homeopathic medicine for that person.

Clinching the RIGHT medicine forms the CORE of the Homeopathic consultation.. the physical examination, thus, remains at a PERIPHERY.

You will succeed in achieving better results, by HOMEOPATHY, if you know the person in detail .. though you have not examined the person physically..but you will definitely FAIL, as a HOMEOPATH , if you have undertaken a thorough physical examination…... without taking pains to know the person.
