Vijay Vaishnav of Homeopathic Healing was the guest at the Insta Live Episode of Homeopathic Voices From Around The World on January 30, 2024. This talk was organized by Atiq Bhatti who has a podcast and is the host of the Homeopathy Health Show.
In case you did not get the chance to join the conversation, you can catch up on it here:
Vijay was asked about his experience with homeopathic remedies in everyday practice, their mechanism of action and their relationship with each other. Using cough and upper respiratory ailments as an example, Vijay emphasized the importance of mastering the art of acute prescriptions. Acute conditions need an immediate response from the homeopath, and the use of an acute remedy to get an immediate response in the sick person. We have enough time to deal with a person who has been fighting a chronic ailment for a long time- we can study the literature, comb the repertories, ask our peers for help and treat these cases. However, for acute cases, there is no time to be lost and we need to make the person feel better and ensure a “rapid, gentle, and permanent restoration of the health, or removal and annihilation of the disease in its whole extent, in the shortest, most reliable, and most harmless way” (Samuel Hahnemann, the founder of Homeopathy, Aphorism 2 of the Organon of Medicine, 6th ed).
Vijay went on to share the importance of the knowledge of the sphere of action or the remedy, its patho-physiological action on the different parts of the body and the remedy relationships, to hit the nail on the head when prescribing. He gave examples of many remedies useful in upper respiratory disorders, how they act, where they act, and how they are related to each other. He also discussed the relationship of remedies from the plant kingdom and their mineral analogues. Repertorial rubrics were also used to differentiate between remedies.
