Concept of Health and Disease in Homeopathy

Abstract

Health is perceived as freedom and creativity. In homeopathy, health is considered as mental, physical and emotional wellbeing. The disease is the dynamic disturbance of harmonious relation between the material body and vital force that stimulates the body in health. In Homeopathy, cure is only achieved by the complete elimination of symptoms and even effects of other treatments. The vital force stimulates the material organism in health and disease. In homeopathy, the person is taken as a whole and diseased organ symptoms alone are of no value. In Homeopathy, it is assumed that entire life processes either on physical, mental or psychological levels depend on the strength of the vital force.
