“When life looses the desire for life!”
The definition of depression could be: “when life looses the desire for life!” A woman after a severe psychological shock or after a long period of stress and disappointment becomes pessimistic. Nothing seems to satisfy her and nothing seems to have any meaning. There is no joy in life, no meaning; everything seem grey or dark. There is no future, no hope and no solution. All she remembers are gloomy facts from the past. All she sees in front of her are bitter memories, present problems and dark future.
Sometimes, all these arise from personal or financial problems. Other times there isn’t any clear reason. Things may go well in her life, that is, her work is prosperous, her husband loves her and their children are obedient and healthy. When things get worse then she starts losing any interest for work, expresses no affection to relatives and friends, wants to stay home at bed, is never hungry and all seem to be in vain. She is weary of life and even has suicidal thoughts. At times she even commits suicide.
Chemical inhibition of the brain’s function
If this depressive person goes to the allopathic doctor he will be treated by anti-depressive drugs. In lighter cases he may be given sedatives. But where do these chemical drugs act? They act locally on the brain chemically affecting nerves and neural junctions in an inhibitive way. This suppression of the function of the brain may at times relieve the patient but it also suppresses the general mental functions causing severe side effects. The person feels sleepy all the time, his mental capacity is decreased, his reflexes are slowed down so he isn’t trusty to drive a car and he is not productive at his job.
Since this treatment is but a suppression of the local illness, often whenever he stops the treatment depression comes back again and again. Why does this happen? Homeopathic Medicine renders this superficial action and all side effects to the materialistic aspect of Allopathic Therapeutic System concerning human being.
Homeopathic medicines act on a higher energy level
Man is not only matter and material body. His psychology has to do not only with the brain. Man is not just a computer or a machine. He definitely has his material part, the body and the brain, but there is also the immaterial part, the soul or psyche, as most religions and philosophies support. All psychological functions like thoughts, reason, memory, emotions, imagination and many others are immaterial functions. You cannot touch an idea, you can’t taste an emotion and you can’t shake hands with an imagination!
The brain serves as an intermediate between the material body and the external Material World on one side and the individual soul and the Psychic World on the other side. The brain is but the computer with which the wise operator comes in contact with the external world through camera and detectors. Do not confuse the machine with the operator. Do not confuse the brain with the soul.
So if you are an allopathic doctor and you view a patient only as a material organism then you will give chemical drugs to affect the brain’s material functions thus suppressing the psychological functions of the soul. This is an inhibiting action on a lower material level. If you are a homeopathic doctor viewing the patient as a psychosomatic whole then you will give energy medicines that will act on a higher energy level thus enhancing and not inhibiting psychological functions.
Any therapeutic action that balances a higher energy level (homeopathic drugs or acupuncture) will eventually balance lower levels (body) as well. If you want to treat a fracture it is correct to act on a mechanical level by immobilizing the hand or the feet affected. It is also wise to give anti-inflammatory drugs or pain killers. But it is also a very useful thing to give homeopathic medicines that act on a higher energy level thus treating also the psychological stress caused by the injury and also enhancing the natural anti-inflammatory and reconstructing mechanisms of the body. Action on a higher level (energy level) is broader, deeper and without any side effects since it does not act on parts (brain chemistry) but on the whole from up to down.
Homeopathic treatment of psychological illnesses
Most of the patients suffering from depression or psychological problems start improving during the first days or first weeks of homeopathic treatment. They begin to face things differently, that is, they become more optimistic and less negative. Gradually they get over the situations that caused their depression. They still remember what happened but it does not affect them in the same negative way.
They tend to philosophize over life’s negative situations and they tend to keep on with their lives finding new things, more positive to deal with. Life returns to normal. They do more and think less. They stop whining and complaining so much. They reason more, cry less, laugh more, enjoy even more. They go back to their work and back to normal family life.
Nature has worked again wonders in a natural way through medical actions that are in harmony with the laws of Nature. Is Homeopathy a panacea? Certainly not! Like every other therapeutic system it has its limitations. Is Homeopathy striving to exclude all other therapeutic systems or Allopathy as useless or harmful? Certainly not! It helps doctors become more effective and more natural in their actions. It promises and gives relief and joy to patients. That is the experience of many homeopathic doctors and many more homeopathic patients over the last 250 years.
