A Journey from Health to Disease: A Bio - Psycho- Socio - Spiritual Environment with Homoeopathic Perspective
Ranjana Terdal
Abstract: The Homoeopathic system of medicine, that based on the principle that like cures like, meaning that substances which can cause certain symptoms in a healthy person can also be used to treat a diseased person. In this article, we try to focus on how to go on a journey from health to disease on the basis Bio - psyco - socio - spiritual environment with a homoeopathic approach regarding health, disease and knowledge of physicine in prevention and preservation of health. There is no simple consensus on the definitions of health, disease, and illness, even though they are key concepts in both the biomedical and nonbiomedical health fields. These concepts are multidimensional, complex, and sometimes elusive. The WHO?s definition of health is critiqued. Disease categories (acute, chronic, accidents/injuries, and mental disease/illness) are discussed. The chapter concludes with a strong emphasis on cultural beliefs regarding causation among lay populations. Natural, supernatural, mystical, and hereditary/genetic causes are discussed based on cultural realities but sometimes diverge from biomedical models of disease causation. [1] In Homeopathy, Health is seen as freedom and creativity. The cause of the disease is the dynamic disturbance of the harmonious relation between the physical body and the vital force that stimulates the body?s health.
