HOMOEOPATHIC REMEDIES FOR AILMENTS DUE TO SUPPRESSION

One of the most important contributions of homeopathy to the theory of health and disease is the concept of suppression of symptoms.

Both in conventional and in some alternative forms of medicine reduction of symptoms and alleviation of suffering are viewed as the towering goals of treatment.

The clinical philosophy shared by naturopathic and homeopathic medicine holds, in contrast, that a symptom is an expression of inner disharmonyrather than a problematic thing in itself, and that the disappearance of a symptom may or may not be an indication of cure when health is considered holistically.

In homeopathy it is very important to distinguish between a curative and a suppressive effect because the goal of treatment is healing of the entire person at the deepest possible level. To achieve this the homeopath first needs to know the patient’s medical history in order to determine whether any past treatments have been suppressive; second, the homeopath needs to evaluate the response of the patient to homeopathic treatment, in order to determine whether or not the patient is progressing in the desired direction toward greater health.

Some common treatments that unnecessarily lead to suppression of symptoms include:-Antibiotics,Anti-inflammatory medications (especially corticosteroids), Surgeries (tonsillectomies, nasal polypectomies, removal of benign skin lesions, and more),Anti-fever medications,High doses of certain supplements,Homeopathic remedies used symptomatically (these include remedies prescribed with the help of machines, muscle testing, and complex formulations (mixtures), Improper long-term administration of single homeopathic remedies
