Diabetes and Homoeopathy

Homoeopathy is a therapeutic method that attempts to treat disease based upon the universal Law of Similars that says let likes be cured by likes. Homoeopathy perceives a patient as an INDIVIDUAL without focusing on the disease per se. Hahnemann pointed out centuries ago that a state of well being is achieved when the indwelling life force can function harmoniously within the human body.

Illnesses are attributed to be an external manifestation of a weakened vital force. When Hahnemann was perturbed by the failure of homeopathic medicines to produce permanent cures for certain chronic diseases, he introduced the miasmatic theory in 1826.He postulated that all disease symptoms are a result of three distinct underlying miasms or root causes, namely psora, syphilis and sycosis.

Homoeopathic practitioners believe that diabetes mellitus chiefly bears a psoric miasmatic background with a sycotic tint. This combination is also referred to as a tubercular miasm. Therefore homoeopathic remedies suitable to treat illness with a tubercular miasm are considered most suitable to treat diabetes.
