Whereas other person says the pain started with neck, then shoulder and then wrist. So we see that in one it has gone from below upward and in the second it has above downwards. This is what homoeopathy tries to focus on... to understand the feelings, perception of situation. For example, one person with arthritis may feel irritable due to pain; a second might feel he is not able to function, cannot carry out the daily routine and a third might feel others of his age are normal and he is having these pains. So there is a need to understand the individual features, an optimal homoeopath and remedy be selected. This remedy not only helps to alleviate the pain but also brings a sense of well being within the patient. The energy levels increase, the pain is eased and there is a feeling of wellness.”
