Is Homeopathy effective in treating Chikungunya?
Yes, Homeopathy is an effective therapeutic option to tackle viral fevers. The clinical symptoms of Chikungunya and other contagious illnesses occur in individuals who are susceptible to

such illnesses. This susceptibility to catch an infection increases with the decreased resistance of a person .The constitutional make- up and temperament of a person affects an individual’s susceptibility to illness.

A well qualified physician observers each patient minutely. He would be able to distinguish a fine, yet palpable, difference in every patient that makes him stand out from the other patients suffering from the same infection. This means that beyond the pathologic signs and symptoms

that a physician detects, there exists other underlying individualizing symptoms that makes every patient unique.

A qualified homeopathic physician analyses the totality of symptoms that not only includes pathological symptoms of a disease, but also the finer emotional symptoms, which indicates disturbance at the psychological level, and other functional symptoms related to sleep, thirst, appetite and bowel movements. This totality of symptoms helps the physician to choose the remedy that best suits the patient from the Materia Medica. The materia medica is a kind of encyclopedia that lists the symptoms of all proven homeopathic remedies, which were tested on healthy human beings.
