| Case details | | Mr. K aged 41 years was suffering from 'Hypertension' (high blood pressure) since few years and came to us for homeopathic treatment on 2/7/2005. His blood pressure remained in the range of 148-154/94-100 most of the times. The other complaint was frequent 'headaches' which were not related to his blood pressure. After understanding the main problems, he was asked to describe his mental state (important to prescribe a remedy) and to express if there was any tension or stress that he was undergoing.
While describing his state of mind he said that he was a shy person, had 'inferiority complex' and felt incapable of handling and managing things. He experienced lot of stress particularly if he had to talk to people in a group or at a social gathering etc. This was his state right since childhood. A thorough understanding about him and his complaints led us to prescribe a homeopathic remedy 'Baryta-Phos' and he was asked to follow-up regularly.
| | Follow Up | | 16/7/2005 Blood pressure- 140/96 At this point the potency of the medicine was increased. 27/8/2005 Blood pressure- 130/80
His headaches too were much better 24/10/2005 Blood pressure- 136/82 There was a remarkable improvement in his mental state too. He said that now he could talk to people quite freely without feeling any stress; did not feel shy if he had to speak in a group of people and felt comfortable in such situations.
| | Comments | | In homeopathy, the remedy is not chosen on the basis of disease name like hypertension, diabetes and so on but is selected according to the individual's mental state and perception of stressful situations in life which precipitate diseases. In the above case, patient perceived himself to be inferior to others and found it stressful to communicate in a group. The remedy changed this very perception and simultaneously brought down his elevated blood pressure too. He felt better in his 'MIND as well as BODY'. This is the 'holistic' approach in homeopathy. | |
