The Difference between Health and Disease
The term 'vital force' (Prāṇa or Ch'i) refers to the essential energy for life, distinguishing a living creature from a lifeless body. Without this force, essential life characteristics—sensation, functions, and self-preservation—are absent. The material body and life force are thus inseparable.
Health is a state where the vital force can move our body, influencing its functions. A healthy body maintains harmony in functions and sensations. This allows us to use our mental, physical, and spiritual well-being intelligently to fulfill life's mission.
Conversely, disease arises when the dynamic vital force is deranged by a disease-causing agent. This leads to disruption in normal physiology and pathological changes, evident in signs and symptoms.
What is Homeopathy?
Homeopathy is a natural medicine system used worldwide for over 200 years, recognized by the World Health Organization. Founded by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, a German physician and chemist born in 1755, it is based on the principles of "like cures like" and "minimum dose." Hahnemann, disillusioned with the harsh medical treatments of his time, developed homeopathy through scientific experimentation and inductive reasoning. The first principle, "like cures like," means that a substance causing symptoms in a healthy person can treat those same symptoms in a sick person. The second principle, "minimum dose," aims to avoid side effects by using only enough medicine to stimulate the body's healing response. Homeopathy works by boosting the body’s vitality and ensuring treatment is gentle and effective. Millions benefit from this therapeutic system, which aligns with the body's natural healing processes.
