Mind and Body are the two sides of the same coin, each complimenting the other to maintain the whole, each having extensive and congruent impressions on the other. There is a fascinating relationship between the mind, body and the disease pathologies that they can produce. Every change in the physiological state is accompanied by an appropriate change in the emotional state, conscious or unconscious and vice versa. Thus mind and body are a unitary system. It was psychologist Robert Ader who first coined the term ‘Psychoneuroimmunology’ (P.N.I.) understanding and illustrating with the various experiments the role of mind, the nervous system and immunology in the process of sickness. As homoeopaths we extend this term to P.N.E.I. axis i.e. the psycho-neuro-endocrino and immulogical axis.  

“Many chronic disturbances are not caused by external, mechanical, chemical factors or by microorganisms, but by the continuous functional stress arising during the every day life of the organism in its struggle for existence,” said Dr. Fraz Alexander. His ideas later evolved into a new discipline called psychosomatic medicine. In this light our Master Dr. Hahnemann - the founder of homoeopathy, was far ahead, first reinventing the principle ‘Similia Similibus Curantur’ i.e. like cures likes. The reason behind sharing these cases with our patients and lay people at large is to remind one of the rich legacies we as homoeopaths follow as we translate the language of disease into remedies that heal and transform.
