Let’s first see what health is before we can talk about disease.
HEALTH = EASE
it is: – FREEDOM: to be able to express ourselves at all levels
– FLEXIBILITY: the ability to ADAPT to CHANGE
On the PHYSICAL LEVEL, this means to be free from pain, from discomfort, all systems work without problems, there is a sense of well-being.
EMOTIONALLY, we are at peace with ourselves, being able to have a happy and easy conversation with others.
On the MENTAL LEVEL, we are free of selfishness, good mental clarity, good memory and decision making
DIS-EASE is when there is ANY DEVIATION from health, whether it is slightly or very ill. So we can conclude that HEALTH is A JOURNEY, NOT A STATE.
Disease or DIS-EASE means we are not feeling at ease. We are out of balance.
If you have digestive problems, together with skin problems and anxiety, you might think that you suffer from 3 diseases. Yes, you will be given 3 different names of diseases, but what’s in a name?
In fact, you have one disharmony with multiple symptoms that might look like it is each a different disease. We do not exist as a sum of disconnected parts, they all together form our body and need one another to function. So if something is wrong with one of them, the rest is also out of balance, sometimes unnoticed.
STRESS IN DIFFERENT FORMS TAKES US OUT OF BALANCE
-nutritional deficiencies
-toxic substances, such as pesticides, toxins in the home, radiation
-medication and recreational drugs
-inherited diseases
-relationship issues with partner, children or at work
When we are diseased, our life force, the guiding energy to keep us healthy, is disturbed because it has to face a stress that is bigger than what it can easily handle. So really, we are experiencing a weakness from our life force to defend ourselves.
This includes emotional and mental problems besides physical problems.
This is why homeopaths see you as a whole person, presenting many different symptoms, which are a reflection of your imbalance. Homeopathic treatment aims at bringing back the balance, the health that you had before you got sick and even way before that.
This also explains why you need only one remedy at the time instead of one for your digestive problems, one for the skin and one for anxiety and so on. The remedy is based on your total imbalance, on how you as a person perceive the dis-ease.
