Dr Sehgal's method

[Feras Hakkak]

Dear Friends,
First of all to know more about Dr. Sehgal's method see their website: www.ssrhindia.com
In his 5th booklet, Dr. Sehgal has described 17 remedies which are found under the rubric "Desire, light for". One of them is Belladonna. According to Dr Sehgal, in the book ROH 7, Belladonna covers 40% of all chronic and acute cases. There he explains this remedy very deeply and presents more than 10 cured cases.
I have had some cases which have been solved by using this technique. And you will find a lot of them in Dr. Sehgal's booklets. This method works, definitely. But I don't know the success rate however. And we have to know that it could be extremely misleading if you want to learn this method from superficial studying of Dr. Sehgal's books. It needs good training, and also a type of "Eastern" mind. Those who have very intellectual, logical mind cannot easily understand and apply this method.
Sincerely,
Feras Hakkak

Thanks for the link:-)
10 cured cases? With a 40% cover of all Dx surely he should be
presenting 100s of cases?
I guess that rules me out - but thenI already knew it wasn't for me -
doesn't mean it isn't very interesting though!

Oh c'mon Simon, sometimes you're in your right mind too!

He has presented many cases in his 8 booklets, but the 7th one is dedicated to Belladonna. There he has taught the materia medica of Belladonna from his viewpoint and has presented 14 (?) cases of Belladonna to give some examples, and to show how he takes a case, how he does the follow-up, etc.
I think the interesting points about Sehgal's method are:

1- He has a very clear understanding of health and disease, how cure happens, what we expect from the remedy, when to presrcibe a remedy and when to repeat, etc. He gives us a very good knowledge about these things.

2- His case taking usually needs a few minutes. This is important for a country like India with more than a billion people.

3- Usually the remedy you prescribe is a common one, and you have it in your chest. There is no need for 3000 remedies which can be supplied only by a few pharmacies all over the world.
Regards,

Feras

I find that it's useful to know different methods of approaching cases. This kind of approach (Sehgal-Sankaran) is great with some clients, because it really fits their sensibility. For others, what's really clear is rather the miasm, or a cluster of striking physical symptoms, or somethiing blatantly rare and peculiar, or.... One of the first questions I find myself dealing with after an intake interview is what approach is likely to correspond best to the case as I experienced it. There's no one right way to proceed.

How scientific is that?

Only joking!

Hi Simon,
If you have read Rajan Sankaran's The Sensation of Homeopathy, this elaboration of that method makes sense. It makes the most sense when you don't have the "normal" homeopathic symptoms. For example, you are working on an infant and nothing is wrong but the sucking pattern--he sucks at short intervals (like an intermittent fever). You are going to have to use rubrics that are based on metaphor. That's what he's doing. He tried China and it worked. (see the website)
I have been faced with several cases where the px is just not going to talk straight to you. They don't believe that you can do anything and see no reason to reveal themselves. Of course, just drop them, but they are your relatives or a friend of a patient. You base your prescription on deep observation of their behavior, nuances of their expression. You wish to help, but ordinary homeopathy will not work because you can't get your foot in the door. ..... I have an "eastern" mind, but I am not sure that it is a pre-requisite. These guys are translating ordinary rubrics into these kinds of situations. They might be relying more on mind symptoms, but that kind of prescribing exists without them.
Blessings,
Ellen

Dear Feras,
What did you think of the books? Would you suggest some or all of them? Which one should I start with? If I am working on the Sensations of Homeopathy, do are need them? Are you saying that the method cannot be learned from the books? I like books better than seminars. Can't afford the travel or the cost of seminars yet. Just looking at the website, it looked like an elaboration of Rajan Sankaran's Sensations of Homeopathy which looks to me like a deepening and clarification of classical homeopathy. It is something that you work out over years of tinkering and thought. Not a cookie cutter method.
Blessings,
Ellen

Y'better be! 'Cause if you were suggesting that "a scientist"
never plans how best to approach a problem before diving in, nor stops
to assess the nature of the problem and choose which tools are best
suited...
