Difficulties in Homoeopathic Practice Questions and Answers with Dr Rajan Sankaran Part 4

In this talk, Dr. Rajan Sankaran answers a very important question that homoeopathic practitioners commonly face in their practice. He shares his vast experience and deals questions that are vital for homoeopathic practitioners. What to do when a patient starts treatment for one complaint but in the follow ups asks medicines for other multiple complaints? How to evaluate the progress from a multitude of symptoms wherein some complaints are better and some are not? Dr. Sankaran explains how in such cases our focus should be on the state of the person and not on the symptoms of the person. He says that the state of a person is a holistic view and in that holistic view we have to find the individual remedy of the patient. He explains that when a patient comes for a follow up, we must evaluate the case at the seven levels and must check the following- How is the patient on the whole? How are his energy levels? How are the dreams? How are the emotions or moods? How are the local symptoms? How is the intensity of the sensation? How are the pathological reports? In this way we can evaluate whether the patient is better or not. He says that each new symptom that comes up must be evaluated. If the patient says something new and it is characteristic, then it must not be ignored. If you have any comments, ideas, questions or feedback please do write to us.
