Minutus

Before the new-comer enters homoeopathic medical practice hee must make himself
thorough with many terminologies which are used exclusively in homoeopathy
only. We have already learnt the terms cachexia (see bulletin No. 3)) and lack
of reaction (bulletin No.5).

In this bulleetin let us learn the use and significance of the term congestion.

If two or more symptoms coexist in a part of the body, we should not take those
different smptoms for repertorising. E.g., if a patient complains of headache,
hair fall and dandruff, instead of using these three symptoms separately to look
into the repertory, we must use the term 'congestion.'

Other places where we would press this term into service are:

(a) when a part or organ is exerted and disturbances is felt elsewhere--e.g.,
'pain in head while coughing' 'headache caused by indigestion'
It is only excess and deficiency that causes diseases. Deficiency disease is a
misnomer. For example when the homoeo remedy zincum met was correctly
prescribed as a simillimum and after this when the urine of the patient was
carefully eamined traces of zincum was found. So also in the case of other
remedies such as Platina, Calcarea carb. etc. Two children take the same food
in a house; one develops calcium deficiency. This child too gets calcium from
the same food but it is not able to assimilate calcium. This non-assimilated
calcium gets deposited somewhere and it triggers symptoms which is called
calcium deficiency.
