Do we have
emergency medicines in homeopathy which can be used quickly in
emergent situations? Can we make an emergency kit of homeopathic
medicines like the Allopathic Medicines which can be carried in
pocket all the time or can be put in an emergency box to be kept
handy for use at home or in vehicle?
Most people would
point to the absurdity of these questions. Homeopathic medicines are
case specific and individual specific. They are dispensed with
according to the totality of the case which means the collective
syndrome of the symptoms presented by the sick. They would,
therefore, say that the concept of an emergency medicine which could
be suitable for all cases, is meaningless.
I expected this objection and would have raised it myself if someone else
had asked this question. But when I think with a cool mind away from all the crowd of distracting voices and experienced instructions of the masters, I think there is or there are! There are two reasons for it: first, I appeal to my own experience as a source of finding the truth as all masters have done to find theirs. Experience is our ultimate guide and it is the cornerstone of science. My touch with empiricism teaches me that the concept of emergency medicine is true and it is feasible. Secondly, beyond their specific and peculiar natures all medicines have general symptoms which are ranked higher in prescription. Such generals are most times ignored or are not given their due value. These general symptoms are relevant for larger populations of the sick than imagined.Thirdly, in homeopathic analysis the first place is assigned to the cause of the trouble. If known it will take precedence over even the mental symptoms and the generalities and modalities. As we know, the cause I known in most of the emergencies for they are caused by specific mishaps. So remedies prescribed on the basis of the cause are in a way emergency medicines.
Although I may appear to be a violation of the lawful Homeopathic conventions of Similia and Totality yet I do not really think to be doing so. Beyond all instances of emergency incidents, I analyze emergency situation and find and find many relevant converging generals in them. All such situations have a mix of such elements as suddenness, horror, fear or prediction of death, fear of suffocation, anxiety, confusion, crying, tossing etc. Every experienced homeopath knows the medicine covering these symptoms most closely and squarely irrespective of the cause of occurrence. Most of the homeopaths would concur, and I am with them, that the indicated medicine is Aconite Napellus, though the potency they suggest would differ according to their experience and practice.
Therefore, I assume and suggest that keeping a vial of Aconite 30 in pocket and taking one pill when anything of grave concern to health, which shocks the mind, happens, will avert the emergency and save life. In my practice I have repeatedly confirmed that Aconite is #1 homeopathic emergency medicine.
It may save the common man of calling hospital visits and treatment expenses which for certain people might be huge. After all, what is self-help if not this!
