Testimonial

Knowing that I have a world-renowned homeopath/MD/acupuncturist who has my records and knows my basic physical composition available by email gives me enormous peace of mind. On those rare occasions when I begin to show symptoms of illness, the first thing I think to do is send an email with my symptoms (of mind, body, spirit) to Dr. Mathai for review. Many have been sick for as long as two or more months."

For this reason, a person's character, stress levels, lifestyle, level of exercise, diet, food preferences, family medical history, general factors such as effect of weather etc are taken into consideration.
  • A person's emotional negative attitude to life limits emotional well- being and causes stress which strains vital force.

Constitutional Homeopathic treatment :

Over years of practice, a Homeopath arrives at the remedy with his knowledge. Classical constitutional homeopathy refers to the treatment of a person as a whole, including past, present symptoms and family history. The person goes through a detailed case study after which the totality of symptoms is arrived. Then a process of Repertorization is done which is interlinked with various aspects of Principles of Organon. The end result is a constitutional remedy for that particular case. This remedy has to be further studied and later has to be followed with remedies depending on the constitution.

The personality trait in Homeopathy is looked at miasmatically. For example- a bilious natured person will have a sluggish liver. This does not mean there is a major liver problem but that the liver is weak.

When accurately implemented, Homeopathic constitutional care can elicit a profound healing response. It can be extremely effective in treating chronic and long-term health problems. It is often regarded as the homeopath's best tool to prescribe the right homeopathic medications. As traditionally developed, homeopathy is a holistic art that looks at the symptom picture of a person, including psychological, emotional, physical, and hereditary information for the individual. It attempts to address the constitution.

In other words it aims to treat the whole person. It is the type of homeopathy taught by its founder Dr. Hahnemann who claimed that at any given time only one remedy should be given to the patient, the one that has the greatest similarity to his disease.

It is a system of health care using natural remedies to help people with their problems - both physical and emotional. It gets to the root of your problems, and doesn't just cover them up. It strengthens your body's defense system, helping you to eliminate many health problems, and increasing your well being and happiness.

People express themselves in certain patterns or themes.
