Do Not Typify Seniors of Society

Do Not Typify Seniors of Society

Dr. PS Malik

आमतौर से समाज में बुज़र्गों को बकबक-मशीन, सठियाया हुआ, भड़कने वाला या परिवार का ध्यान ना रखने वाला जैसे नाम दे दिये जाते हैं। अपने होम्योपैथिक शोध के दौरान मैंने पाया कि यह उन बुज़ुर्ग का दोष नहीं है। इसे होम्योपैथी के द्वारा बिना किसी कठिन परिश्रम के बहुत आसानी से किया जा सकता है। प्रस्तुत लेख में ऐसा ही विस्तृत विवरण है।









In daily experience it is seen that people in families and society are typified. Mr. X is a hysteric, he starts exploding over trifles. Mr. Y is loquacious; he stops all and grab their topic; starts lecturing but keeps changing the topic rapidly. Mr. Z has become childish; he is allured for everything like children; never satiates; always demands eatables. And so on so forth.

During the course of my studies in homeopathy I have observed that these are the deductions drawn in a family, a society or a community. Then I tried to obtain a data for such people and find a remedy (certainly Homeopathic) for such people. After their treatment I could observe a lot of change in the habits of such people. I do not claim any final word on this topic because such areas are always developing and are nurtured by forthcoming studies.

Reason for such outcome

Homeopathy is a holistic system of medicines. It does not consider a person and his ailment as two opposite things in one organism; nor does it consider an ailment as an attack from some external pathogen. In homeopathy all ailments are just extension of the personality of an individual.

Moreover, there is no disease in homeopathy. What is known as ailment is just a different mode of ‘transient personality’. This transition from the mean position of an organism, what is known as a disease in allopathy, is restored to normalcy with the help of remedies. These remedies do not work on any single part of an organism rather they affect the ‘Wholeness’ of that individual. Take any homeopathic remedy it would act on all parts of the body including the brain, the sensorium and the mind.

The homeopathic remedies work well on the cognitive faculties of an individual and hence change its appreciation of the surroundings. This makes an individual feel happy or sad or elated or nervous in the same set of external atmosphere. Merely by applying right homeopathic remedy you may change the perception of an individual.

Now we discuss a few personality-categorizations prevalent in the society:

LOQUACIOUS
CHILDISH
INDIFFERENT
HYSTERIC

LOQUACIOUS

  • In old age people start talking a lot; without having regard to the comfort level of others; anything said in their presence is just grabbed by them; they take the topic start talking on it;
  • Any single word in a story may provoke them to give an entire theory on it. They talk even to the annoyance of those who are nearby

But there is again a minute difference:

·       Those whose loquacity is related to varying subjects, and
·       Those whose loquacity is related to religious topics

DIVERSE SUBJECT LOQUACITY

A few symptoms of such individuals:
·       Whites of eyes yellow
·       Sensitive to sounds ; rushing and thundering in ears.
·       Pus and blood from nose.
·       Soreness of nostrils and lips.
·       Cannot swallow sweet or acrid things.
·       Much phlegm in fauces, with painful hawking.
·       Troubles come on during sleep, and patient wakes in distress or pain ; cough, asthma or spasm.
·       On waking - vertigo ; dry, hacking cough ; all symptoms worse.
·       Sore throat and great difficulty in swallowing
·       pulse 120, quick and small ; throat sore to touch externally
Give such individuals homeopathic remedy – Lachesis and they will feel relieved. No need to take them asylums or sanatoria.

RELIGIOUS LOQUACITY

A few symptoms of such individuals are:
·       Trembling of limbs violent, Laughing
·       Hot cheeks, Blood rushing to face
·       Speech - stammering; difficult and unintelligible; indistinct; has to exert himself a
Give such individuals homeopathic remedy – Stramonium and they will feel relieved.
   

CHILDISH

A few symptoms of such individuals are:
·       Great mental and bodily weakness
·       Falling off of hair; baldness, especially on crown
·       As if mind is absent
·       Imagines he walks on his knees
·       Talkative mania
·       Inclined to make fruitless exertions of memory ; tries to recollect past events
·       Averse to strangers and company
·       Childish and thoughtless behavior
·       Cataract
·       Ulceration of cornea
·       Lids agglutinated
·       Buzzing and ringing in ears
·       Roaring in right ear like the sea, at each inspiration
·       Knotty swellings behind ears
·       Toothache is worse when thinking about it and disappears when mind is diverted.
When such individuals are treated with Baryta Carbonicum the results are miraculous. These individuals are completely restored to normalcy.

INDIFFERENT

A few symptoms of such individuals are:
·       Indifferent to the loved ones; Aversion to occupation, to family, friends etc.
·       Very Irritable; easily offended, Dreads to be alone
·       Very sad, Weeps when telling his condition. Miserly, Anxious toward evening; indolent and lazy
·       Heavy flow of ideas ; inability for mental activity ; it is an exertion to think
·       Felt all day as if he did not care what happened ; no desire to work, inattentive, absent-minded
·       Language comes very slowly, has to drag out the words to express ideas ; forget the
·       Dread of being alone
·       Migraine after catching least cold
·       Redness of eyelids, with styes
·       Toothache- drawing in upper molars
·       All teeth painful, particularly in hollow molar,
When such individuals are treated with Sepia Officinale, their personality becomes very assimilative.

HYSTERIC 

A few symptoms of such individuals are:
·       Mood is Changeable; it changes all of a sudden like a hysteria;
·       After shocks, grief, disappointment they become introspective; silently brooding, tearful, Not communicative, Sighing and sobbing.
·       Feels hollow, heavy; worse on stooping; Headache as if a nail were driven out through the side; Cramp-like pain over root of nose; Congestive headaches following anger or grief; worse, smoking or smelling tobacco, inclines head forward.
·       very weak ; staggering walk ; walks carefully ; increased stool and urine
·       Difficult comprehension ; mental dulness ; mental effort is irksome
·       Desire to be alone
·       Inclined to be very secretive and passive
·       Constipation
·       sensitive mood, delicate conscientiousness
·       Slight blame or contradiction excites him to anger, and this makes him angry with himself
·       tingling as of ants ; jerking ; heaviness of right arm, which had been paralyzed
·       Pains come on about 9 A. M., generally stopping at 2 P. M.
·       Face distorted, deathly pale and sunken
·       Jaws feel as if crushed
·       Sour taste in mouth ; with sour eructations ; saliva tastes sour
To such individuals give a few doses of Ignatia and just see the sea changes in the personality.

CONCLUDING

These are only a few illustrations. There is nothing in the so-called old ages which can be a hindrance in living a normal life and that too apace the society. The only requirement is to loosen the limitation of our awareness and live rhythmically with nature. Homeopathy helps you.

CONCLUSION

It is an injustice to typify our seniors (senior citizens) and segregate them as untouchables. Homeopathy is a way out. It helps those seniors to restore to those physical, mental and emotional planes which they explored in their energetic eras.

PS MALIK SPEAKS ON SYCOTIC MIASM

PS MALIK SPEAKS ON SYCOTIC MIASM










  • Sycosis is established after a suppressed gonorrhea, when the acute infection is driven in upon the vital energy by external methods of suppression, and it then becomes a systematic stigma
  • The Sycotic patient is exceedingly suspicious. The suspicion extends to the point where he dare not trust himself and he must go back and repeat what he has done or said, and wonders if he goes back and starts again.
  • He is suspicious that he will be misunderstood, that his hearers will give the wrong meaning to what he is attempting to convey.
  • The Sycotic patient is cross and irritable; he is absent minded in certain things, and finds difficulty in getting the right word
  • He forgets recent happenings, but remembers distant events very clearly.
  • The headache in the vertex is Sycotic in its origin; or there may be frontal headache. These are better by lying down and at night, especially worse after midnight.
  • This patient is restless and wants to be kept in motion, which ameliorates.
  • The hair falls out in circular spots; the hair of the beard falls. The Sycotic scalp perspires, but there are not the moist, matting eruptions of syphilis.
  • Children with "snuffles" are usually syphilitic or Sycotic; the Sycotic stigma has moist snuffles, but without ulcerations or crusts; the discharge is purulent, scanty, with the odor of fishbrine.
  • There is often nasal stoppage due to thickening of the membranes and to enlargement of the turbinated bones.
  • Hay fever conditions, which are exceedingly difficult of cure under ordinary treatment, are more easily understood when we remember that they are an expression of syphilis and latent Sycosis, very often with a Psoric taint.
  • Meats arouse the latent sycosis as in psora. The sycotic patient should take meat sparingly, and it is better for him to use more freely of nuts, beans or cheese. Gouty conditions cannot digest meats.
  • He is usually better by eating any food, and better by lying on the stomach or by pressure.
  • The diabetic patient is usually strongly tubercular, but if there is a sycotic taint as well, the condition becomes much more malignant.
  • In acquired sycotic conditions represented by prostatic gland troubles there is a combination of all three stigmata.
  • Pelvic inflammations such as inflammation of the ovaries, inflammatory diseases of the female pelvis may be traced to this taint.

  • Appendicitis is directly traceable to sycotic influences.
  • Stomach is swollen, distended called Ascites, Anasarca
  • There are tearing pains in the joints, which are < during rest, < during cold damp weather, > moving or stretching, > dry weather.
  • The Sycotic skin manifestations tend toward overgrowth or extra deposits. The nails are ribbed or ridged and thick and heavy. Moles, warts, wine-coloured patches and other manifestations of unnaturally thickened skin belong in this classification.
  • Psoriasis is a combination of the three stigmata, with sycosis and psora predominating
  • Barber's itch readily develops in sycotic patients, while it rarely develops unless there is a sycotic taint.

SPECIAL NOTE

  • When suppressed, the syphilitic stigma spends itself on the meninges of the brain, and affects the larynx and throat in general, the eyes, the bones and the periosteum.
  • Psora spends its action very largely upon the nervous system and the nerve centers, producing functional disturbances, which are > by surface manifestations.
  • Sycosis attacks the internal organs, especially the pelvic and sexual organs. In this stigma we find the worst forms of inflammation, infiltration of the tissues causing abscesses, hypertrophies, cystic degeneration; when thrown back into the system by suppression this stigma causes dishonesty, moral degeneracy and mania.
