This cute, little girl was diagnosed with allergic asthma long back. The treatment that once started with normal medicines and nebulisers has reached a limit now. From antibiotics to inhalers, steroids and every other course was tried. Parents were doing their best and had taken her to every possible doctor but nothing worked out. She was suffering badly and was unable to breathe properly. The parents were in great despair as it was hard for them to see their child suffer.
The confusion prevails
Finally, the parents decided to take her to the PGI. The doctors there suggested the girl’s lungs were weak and causing the trouble. Although the girl’s father was somewhat satisfied with this logic, the mother questioned. She asked if the girl’s lungs are weak then why does the problem occur only on some days of the year and the girl remains normal throughout the rest of the year? How can lungs strengthen on some days and weaken on others?
Asking questions is the first way to bring change
Surprisingly, every year the asthmatic allergy aggravated on the same days of the year and it was not a seasonal allergy. The whole family was in a great crisis.
They decided to get answers to their questions and booked an appointment with us. When the girl was brought to Homoeotouch, she was in great distress. We tried to relieve her in certain ways but nothing was working accurately. While we were trying to talk to her, a strange thing happened. Despite being in bad shape and sick, the girl didn’t want to go home. She was lingering on the conversation just to avoid going home earlier. She insisted on going to her maternal grandmother’s home as she felt better there.
How does our PTP help the girl overcome Allergic Asthma?
When we investigated the situation further, we observed that the family lived with their parents and the girl used to spend too much time with her paternal grandmother. Her Daadi was a censorious and critical lady who spent most of her time criticising things. She would force her family members to do the things that she would not do herself. She would make them eat food which she would not eat. She would not let the girl watch TV while she would watch it all the time. Same with the mobile phone, she would spend all her time on the smartphone but would let the girl touch it.
If you define the problem correctly, you almost have the solution.
We later realized that it was the behaviour of the Daadi that was creating an aversion to letting the girl go home. She felt suffocated at her home and felt better at her maternal grandmother’s home.
The certain days when the problem of the girl aggravated were the holidays. It was not the seasons but school vacations which made the illness of the girl worse. Vacations meant spending more time at home, more interaction with Daadi, more such incidents resulting in more anger, frustration and suffocation. All these emotions lead to Asthma in this child.
At Homoeotouch, Homoeopathy is supposed to work miracles
This kind of information was sufficient for us to initiate the treatment. We mixed our knowledge of the five senses, and five elements with our Personal Treatment Program (PTP) to treat the root cause of the problem. We channelled the internal emotions of the girl with our medicines and made sure she developed a mechanism to face such situations in life. We strongly believe that we cannot control the external environment and forces all the time but we should be able to control our emotions to protect our health.
How we treat people - it matters
As soon as the treatment started, the health of the girl improved. Her asthma was completely cured in a few weeks and she started feeling better.
This incident is an example of how feelings of distress, hatred, anger and suffocation can lead to allergies like asthma. When anyone mentions that he/she is allergic to a person then it should be taken seriously. If someone is having repeated allergy attacks then definitely there is someone or some coinciding situation which is troubling the sufferer badly. When the mind creates a dislike for a certain person or situation, it needs to be addressed on a priority.
Lungs are the air-filled elements of the body, they need air to expand and thus represent the air element of the body. The air elements here relate to touch elements, as the girl avoided the touch of her grandmother, and avoided being in touch with her grandmother which in turn caused aggravation in her allergy on certain days.
To kindness and love, the things we need most
The same day when she did not feel well at her Dadi’s place, she bloomed at her Nani’s place. She loved visiting Nani’s, and Mami’s house as liked their touch. There she had children of her age to play with and the environment was not toxic. While her parents kept blaming the water or the air around her, it was her inner environment that ruined her health.
In the same way, when the newlywed girls complain that the water or air of their in-laws’ place doesn’t suit them, it is not the water or air but the state of mind and environment that makes them uncomfortable.
On a similar note, when on vacation, we feel relaxed and happy as we are out of that vicious circle of stress and forget all our distress and illness.
Five elements embody the idea of nature
We came across another identical case where one person shifted from India to California and his gastric issues were resolved. He blamed the water and pollution of India for his illness and appreciated the clean and pure environment of California. Another person, who shifted from California to India mentioned that he started to feel better as soon as he stepped on the land of India. He especially came to our country for treatment. He added that people might say that this is a polluted country but he felt at the best of his health here.
What we need to know is that ultimately the persons and situations around us play a vital role in our health. In both cases it was not California or India, it was the inner environment, inner weather, inner senses and inner elements that were troubling them. As soon as they change their external environment, their thoughts, emotions and reactions change and so does their health.
That is why we say, it is not the external environment, air or water pollution or weather that always affects our health, most of the time, it is our inner health, the five basic elements that decide the course of our health.
Our PTPs are designed to study these five senses, the five elements and decode the puzzle of disease and health.
