CASE ANALYSIS:
A married man, A.G., aged 46 was visited by
the author with chief complaint of moderate to severe
headache, on the 12th of September 2010. The problem
had started 20 months before, in March 2009, following
an emotional and psychological trauma which the
patient never dared to discuss.
Regarding the prevalence of cardiac disorder in his
family and experiencing chest pain, he was visited by a
cardiologist who found no organic cause and thus
psychological origin was diagnosed. Mr. A.G. was visited
by a psychiatrist, afterwards. Brain CT scanning was
reported normal
He began to experience the headache afterwards. The
pain was first felt in his occipital region and ameliorated
only by hitting the head by his fist and pulling his hair!
He also complained of severe revenge feelings against
his co-worker and fear of killing him. Traveling made him
feel better.
Course of Treatment: The patient’s rubrics were
repertorized by Radar. The main rubrics are as follows:
MIND – LOQUACITY
MIND – IMPRESSIONABLE
MIND-PULLING-hair-desire to pull her own hair
DREAMS – FALLING
DREAMS – DOGS
STOMACH – THIRST
Phosphorus 30 c was ordered as his first prescription. A globule of the
remedy was put on his tongue. The patient said he felt better before
leaving the clinic.
He was visited after a month on Oct. 12, 2010. He said that he felt much
better but still suffered a less severe headache that made him knock
his head and pull his hair. Thus Belladonna 30 c in liquid was
prescribed to be taken every three days. He was visited for the 3rd time
on Nov. 14, 2010. His headache had subsided by about 50%. After three
months he had no headache and no sense of revenge and hatred.
After a year his case was followed and no symptoms bothered him. He
had re-started his normal life and referred his wife and daughter to be
treated as, well.

This doctrine, which has been extensively developed in America in the past
few years, is not a new discovery, for ever since the time of Hippocrates and
Galen the influence of the psychic over the physical has been admitted. But this has
come about as a consequence of certain physiological discoveries such as those of
Pavlov at the beginning of the twentieth century on conditional reflexes and of the
American, Cannon, on the role of the emotions and their repercussions on salivary
secretions, the endocrine glands and on the metabolism
It owes much also to the development of deep and extensive psychological studies to
which so many psychiatrists and psycho-analysts have devoted themselves.
In fact the physicians of the orthodox school are only now discovering the
psychosomatic. After cutting a man in two and having isolated his psyche and mind from
his soma, they have stuck the two pieces together again to consider him at last as a
biological whole.
This biological whole has already been evoked by Hahnemann in 1813, in his famous essay
entitled: “Spirit of the Homoeopathic Doctrine’ of Medicine” where he speaks of the living
individual unity of the organism. Similarly, in his sixth edition of the Organon, he repeats in
more than five paragraphs that there exists a biological whole in our organisms.
KENT -In a phrase of Kent, the philosopher, cited by Hufeland, we read: “We do not
for a moment deny the influence of the physical on the spiritual, but the
psychological power of the spirit on the body is just as astonishing and even
greater. It can give birth to ailments, it can kill and it can revive.”
In his “Aphorisms of Hippocrates” Boenninghausen asks what the supposed
relationship can be between the brain and haemorrhoids or varicose veins. Here we meet another
proof of the truth that the body and the spirit-whether in a state of disease or a state of health-are
closely linked together and that the sufferings of the one can calm those of the other.
Boenninghausen remarked, with regard to one of the “Aphorisms of Hippo-
crates” that there are numerous cases of icterus which manifest themselves on the day following an
emotional upset and are cured equally quickly by the
remedy corresponding to the symptoms, such as Aconite, Chamomilla, Nux
vomica, etc.
Hahnemann is thus the true creator of psychosomatic medicine. Although he
may not be the first to speak of the relationship between the spirit and the body -for
Hippocrates and Galen did so before him-he is nevertheless the first to have outlined the
practical rudiments of possible therapeutic measures to be taken in the ailments which
result.
In his Sixth Edition of the Organon, Hahnemann shows us the influence andthe
repercussions of the psychic on the physical in his note to paragraph 17 where he
writes:
the vital principle which, if it is sufficiently marked, can give rise to the severest illness;
nevertheless, this also can be cured by a similar contra-suggestion.

When psychological blockages occur, for whatever reasons,
emotional energy is not only repressed and pushed under,
but it also attacks itself to certain key organs, for example
colon, heart, and these are used as new pathways for the
expression of feelings. When under emotional pressure,
certain patients react with an attack of asthma, colitis,
angina, depending upon which particular organ is sensitized
and used as an outlet.
Homoeopathy aims at a reintegration of the total self, with a
reduction of unhealthy psychological regression, blockages
and isolation. The homoeopathic prescription and general
approach towards the person helps to lessen the denial of
painful hurts and memories, which can then be easily
brought to the surface, recalled, understood and discussed.
This quite naturally leads to a strong personality, confidence
and to greater insights. In the correct remedy there is a slow
emergence of the bruised aspect of the personality into the light of more adult maturity and understanding so that a
softening of earlier resentments and scar can occur
To some extent, most diseases are indeed
psychosomatic; they involve a person's body and
mind. There is a mental aspect to every physical
disease. The way a person reacts to and copes with
disease varies widely from person to person. A rash of
psoriasis; for example, might not bother some people
too much. Yet the rash covering the same portions of
the body in another person may make them feel
depressed and more sick.
MENTAL HEALTH(WHO)- it is a state of well being in which
every individual realizes his or her own potential , can cope
with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and
fruitfully and is able to make a contribution to her or his
community.
MENTAL ILLNESS(WHO) – mental disorders comprise a
broad range of problems, with different symptoms. however,
they are generally characterized by some combination of
abnormal thoughts, emotions, behaviour and relationship
with others.
MENTAL DISEASES BY DR. HAHNEMANN
APHORISM 210– Of psoric origin are almost all those diseases that I have
above termed one-sided, which appear to be more difficult to cure in
consequence of this one-sidedness, all their other morbid symptoms
disappearing, as it were, before the single, great, prominent symptom. Of this
character are what are termed mental diseases. They do not, however,
constitute a class of disease sharply separated from all others, since in all
other so called corporeal diseases the condition of the disposition and mind is
always altered;1 and in all cases of disease we are called on to cure the state of
the patient’s disposition is to be particularly noted, along with the totality of the
symptoms, if we would trace an accurate picture of the disease, in order to be
able there from to treat it homoeopathically with success.
As explained in APHORISM 225:
Aph -226 When they are still recent and have not made great
inroads into corporeal state then can be treated by Psychical
remedy along with appropriate diet and regimen.
Aph -227 These are also psoric disease, so for there radical
cure anti-psoric treatment should be given for security.
