Making the totality of symptoms involves looking at all the patient’s information. The doctor has to find special, unique, and odd symptoms and put them together in a smart order. This way, they get a complete picture of the patient’s condition.

Discover the significance of indisposition in homoeopathy (footnote of aphorism 7). Learn how minor shifts in health can impact your well-being and preventive care strategies.

Identifying the Accessory Circumstances (Aphorism 5, 94,208, F.N. of aphorism 81) of diseases play an important role in understanding the root causes of chronic diseases and treat the patient accordingly.

Previously I have explained Exciting causes of the disease in the post Causa occassionalis and briefed about Fundamental causes of the diseases. Here we will look for the difference between exciting causes and maintaining causes of the diseases.

Fundamental causes of the diseases in homoeopathy are one of the most important subjects that should be understood carefully by the practicing homoeopaths.

In the explanation of introduction to the 6th edition of organon of medicine Dr. Hahnemann uses this word “TOLLE CAUSAM”. This word is of Latin origin which means “Treat the cause” or “Remove the cause.”

Dr. Hahnemann in aphorism 7 discusses on four interrelated concepts, out of which in this post I am going to explain about Causa Occassionalis in homoeopathy.

Clinical symptomatology in homoeopathy deals with the scientific study of symptoms of disease or patient himself that are collected by the medical examiner.

For every individual case the modalities are an important guide for the selection of remedy in homoeopathy.
It is a particular mode in which something is experienced or expressed.

All these perceptible signs represent the disease in its whole extent, that is, together they form the true and only conceivable portrait of the disease. – Dr. Hahnemann

The words Prima Causa Morbi are of Latin origin.
“Prima” means “Primary” or “Main”.
“Causa Morbi” means “Cause of disease”.
So, “Prima Causa Morbi” means “Primary Cause of Disease”.

WHO IS AN UNPREJUDICED OBSERVER?
An unprejudiced observer understands the uselessness of theoretical guesswork and records only the signs and symptoms of the patient.

Dr. Herbert A. Roberts in his book “The principles and art of cure by homoeopathy” writes an essay on “The Deflected Current” to suggest the physicians about the obstacles to cure.

Aphorisms 3 and 4 of organon of medicine describes the knowledge or pre-requisite qualifications of the physician to restore the health of a sick person.

Understanding the difference between palliation and suppression is important before the physician actually starts the treatment of the disease.
When a patient comes to the physician with the complain of pain, discomfort or distress, what will he expect the most from the doctor?

Theory of suppression in homoeopathy is given so much importance because homeopathy is a wholistic medical science in which the treatment is given to the MAN in disease but not to the disease in man.

Herig’s law of cure is famous as the “Second law of cure” in homoeopathy.
It is also known as “The law of direction of cure”.
Dr. Constantine Hering who is the “Father of American homoeopathy” has introduced this law to us.

Dr. Constantine Hering who is known as the “Father of American Homoeopathy” was born on 1st of January in 1800 at Oschatz, Germany.
