The inclusion of miasm in a homoeopathic prescription is becoming more and more important in this modern world of suppression, hence, learning the art of rapid classical Miasmatic prescribing is necessary. Hahnemann with his infinite wisdom recognised some two hundred years ago the prominence of one-sided diseases with a scarcity of proper characteristic symptoms, and the increasing usage of modern drugs has intensified this to a degree that such cases are becoming increasingly common today. There can only be one approach if a complete cure is sought and this is to systematically remove each layer of suppression and miasmatic dyscrasia before proceeding to nip the underlying cause of disease in the bud.

Course Content:
The course is practical and incorporates the ancestral tips and wisdom of five generations of Homoeopathy. The modules have been constructed in a way to enhance the analysis of rapid classical miasmatic prescribing.

Importance:
With proper application, miasmatic prescribing can uproot the underlying cause of disease and nip the bud of increased susceptibility to future diseases, so it is not only curative but also preventative, something for which our patients will surely thank us in the long run. There are no shortcuts to complete and permanent cure and it is up to us and our patients to play our parts in striving towards successful treatment in as many cases as possible. It is by the incorporation of miasmatic prescribing into our treatments that this can become possible.

Beneficiaries:
UG/PG students, Practitioners

Course Benefit:

• Defining the homoeopathic context of the word miasm as an:
• Invisible
• Inimical
• dynamic principle
• an inherited weakness
• a stigma or vacuum in the constitution

The analogy of the peeling away of petals from the lotus flower, a representation of the removal of each different layer of suppression or disease and their corresponding dyscrasia to demonstrate the curative art of miasmatic prescribing.

Homeopathy finds its origin back in the eighteenth century. But with changing times and advancing technologies, it is imperative to amend the way we practice the art and science of Homeopathy and adapt to the demands of the modern time. This course talks about the four ways in which a homeopath’s medical practice can leap forward by going digital on the level of repertory, materia medica and case taking- the three foundations of a successful homeopathic practice.

COURSE CONTENT

Dr. Frederik Schroyens is the man behind the Synthesis Repertory. Through this course, he intends to lead the budding as well as the established homeopaths into the digital world of homeopathy wherein he talks about the technique of recording the patient’s history i.e. digital case taking in the first module, followed by case processing by integrating the repertory and materia medica. These two steps form the very core of the art and science of Homeopathy.

Further, Dr. Frederik emphasizes upon the extension of one’s daily medical practice into the realms of research for Homeopathy. Through the module on Evidence- based Homeopathy, Dr. Frederik encourages the homeopaths to register their own clinical experiences and share them with the Homeopathic community worldwide.

In the module on Additions to Synthesis, Dr. Frederik discusses the importance of a deeper understanding of the repertory and gives insight into the quality of additions being made to the Synthesis repertory, the source material for which ranges from proving to the clinical experience of Homeopaths from around the world.

In theend, Dr. Frederik has added a brief topic i.e. Significance of Dreams in Homeopathy. This presentation discusses the importance of going beyond the ‘conscious’ of the patient through his dreams into the subconscious and incorporating the same in the repertorising process.

IMPORTANCE OF COURSE

1. It helps a physician view his medical practice in a new light, advancing the procedures of case taking and case processing to the digital arena.
2. It is important for the budding physicians as well as established homeopaths to extend their practice to the digital platform with the aim of sharing their clinical experiences with the homeopaths around the globe and thus participate and contribute to the field of research in Homeopathy.

BENEFICIARIES- UG/PG Students, Interns and Homeopathic Practitioners

COURSE BENEFIT

1. Digitalization of the core procedures of case taking and repertorisation
2. Developing the homeopathic practice in tandem with modern technology and advancing it to the global arena for the purpose of sharing and research.
3. Delving into the subconscious of the patient by going beyond what is apparent in his conscious through enquiring the details of his dreams and incorporating it into the process of repertorisation.

The course is divided into 20 classes.

• CLASSES 1-10 – GRANT BENTLEY MASTERING THE CLINICAL METHODOLOGY OF HFA
• CLASSES 1-10 – LOUISE BENTLEY PRACTICAL APPLICATION OF FACIAL ANALYSIS FOR MIASMATIC DIAGNOSIS

Homeopathic Facial Analysis : Mastering the Clinical Methodology of HFA + Practical Application of Facial Analysis for Miasmatic Diagnosis

The BJain HFA course has been developed and presented by Grant and Louise Bentley in 2019 to bring the concepts of using facial structure for miasmatic diagnosis to a world homeopathic audience. Homeopathic Facial Analysis (HFA) started as a research project in 1999 in Melbourne Australia at the Victorian College of Classical Homeopathy.  Grant Bentley (principal) looked at the works of JH Allen, HR Roberts and D Foubister who had all mentioned the influence of the miasm upon the face.  By 2003, the HFA project had developed from a miasmatic question to a concept to a working model.  By 2004, the practice of prescribing a homeopathic remedy for a chronic problem with a miasmatic diagnosis – from the face – was established in clinical practice.  The HFA method was tested and streamlined and taught to students in 25 countries.  Practitioners reported strong results using the instructions of the giants of homeopathy…

• Hahnemann – totality of symptoms, every chronic prescription must have a miasmatic* base
• Kent – sophisticated concept of the constitution
• Boenninghausen – systemised approached to generalised repertorisation
• Hering – guideline to understanding the effects of remedies with case management

*Miasm determined by a dominant miasm method – HFA – from patient facial structure

• Principles of Homeopathic Prescribing | Modus Foundation

The aim of the Modus programme is the integration of Hahnemannian principles, as presented in the Organon, into modern Homeopathic clinical practice.

• Methodology of Homeopathic Prescribing | Modus Prescriber

Modus prescriber has been derived from the word – modus which means the methodology and prescriber which means to prescribe. Modus prescriber is the methodology that a practitioner of homoeopathy must acquaint himself with, in order to prescribe efficiently to get predictable results in different case scenarios with high level of proficiency.
Course of modus prescriber delves into the theoretical and practical aspects of making efficient homeopathic prescriptions in accordance with the philosophies and principles stated by the stalwarts of homeopathy. Dr Harsh Nigam introduces the students to the principles of remedy selection and rules of prescribing followed by various therapeutic strategies that a homeopathic must know. In the later modules, he throws light on the other aspects of a homeopathic prescription like posology and potency selection and dives deeper into the intricacies of case taking and case analysis in homeopathic parlance. Finally Dr Nigam explains the details of case management and follow up planning, Along with a knowhow of how to integrate Homeopathy with modern clinical medical scenario.

Importance of Modus Prescriber :
a. It helps a student as well as established practitioners to practice homeopathy in tandem with the prevalent modern school of medicine.
b. It helps a budding physician to stay focused on the path enlightened by the stalwarts of homeopathy ie to practice homeopathy a modern approach butting to the 21st century manner without deviating from the conventional path of classical homeopathy

Beneficiaries:
UG/PG Students and Homoeopathic Practitioners

Course benefit:
a. Writing prescriptions on correct principles and philosophies
b. Developing correct methodology of reaching the decision regarding the selection of medicine, its potency and repition schedule and formulating correct and appropriate treatment plans and follow up schedules, as per the requirement of the case.

Cardiovascular diseases comprise the most prevalent serious disorders worldwide and are a rapidly growing problem in developing nations. Nonetheless, cardiovascular diseases remain the most common causes of death and approximately one fourth of these deaths are sudden, The symptoms caused by cardiovascular disease result most commonly from myocardial ischemia and manifest most frequently as chest pain or chest discomfort. Although chest pain is a cardinal manifestation of myocardial ischemia it may result from variety of non-cardiac and cardiac causes other than myocardial ischemia. Whether heart disease is responsible for this symptom, it can be determined only by carrying out a careful clinical examination supplemented by non-invasive investigations like electrocardiography at rest or during exercise, echocardiography, x-ray and other forms of myocardial imaging, followed by blood tests to assess risk e.g. lipid profile or cardiac function e.g. cardiac biomarkers. This will not only help in establishing a correct and complete cardiac diagnosis but will also play an important role in deciding the management strategy for a patient with symptom of chest pain. This will help in eliminating the risk factors, preventing the progress of disease and managing the acute state thus preventing the risk of sudden death or morbidity due to myocardial ischemia. This module is prepared on Homoeopathy in cardiovascular diseases. This is one of the example of clinical presentation of chest pain which is the most frequent encounter in our clinical practice. Therefore felt appropriate to discuss it in detail. To become a competent homeopathic practitioner, it is essential to have a thorough understanding of clinical aspect of disease i.e. to ‘know the sickness’ and strong grounding in the principles and concepts of homeopathy, thus to ‘know the person behind the sickness’ based on the fundamental principles of health and disease. Therefore comprehensive clinical education and training and integrated approach is an essential requirement of homeopathic education. The three modules on ‘Homeopathy in Cardiovascular Diseases’ is based on the above thinking.

Repertory is the English term for the French term Repertoire which means a storehouse. Repertory is an index of symptoms which quickens the process of reaching the similimum.

Course Content:
The course of repertory consisting of the entire process of repertorisation is explained with the help of clinical cases of Dr Tiwari.

1. The first and second module covers the introductory part of case taking, analysis of the case, evaluation of the case so that a suitable repertory can be selected for finding out a similimum.
2. The following modules include the study of various repertories like BBCR, Kent, Boenninghaussen and modern repertories with their philosophies and working methodologies as per the suitability of the case.

Importance:
1. It helps in correct prescribing by finding a similar remedy based on the right principle.
2. To study the repertory and the whole content of this course and methodology of prescribing in different types of cases.

Beneficiaries:
UG/PG Students

Course Benefit:
1. Selection of the remedy on correct methodology through repertorisation.
2. Developing the correct procedure of understanding a case and working out the case in a logical and scientific way.

In this course, we will learn about the ways through which homeopathy triggers the body’s natural ability to heal. This module teaches us about the benefits of using homeopathy and the scope of remedies for treating ailments in a gentle way. Sources of homoeopathic drugs are also explained. It also explains the qualities required to be a good practitioner and the need of philosophy. Branches of medicine and its basic principles are also explained. Vital force theory, disease, heredity, lifestyle hygiene and mind is also explained. Different approaches required in different cases are also discussed. Acute diseases and different conditions in which they affect the human body are explained along with chronic diseases and the fundamental cause is also explained. we will be learning about brief biography of Hahnemann, achievements of Hahnemann and criticism of the practice of his time. As a child Hahnemann showed remarkable aptitude for study. He had an exceptional talent for languages. Samuel Hahnemann, in full Christian Friedrich Samuel Hahnemann, (born April 10, 1755, Meissen, Saxony [now in Germany]—died July 2, 1843, Paris, France), German physician, founder of the system of therapeutics known as homeopathy. We will be learning about the cardinal principles of homoeopathy. The cardinal principles are law of similia, law of simplex, theory of vital force, law if minimum, doctrine of drug proving, theory of chronic disease and doctrine of drug dynamization. The cardinal principles are well explained. Brief explanation of miasms, as the fundamental cause of disease is well explained. We will learn about interpretation of the sick, disease and vital force with emphasis on human as a single entity. Homoeopathy perceives that there is always something prior to pathological changes of the human body. The simple substance of the human body is the vital principle that keeps all the functions of human body in harmony. The investigation of the cause of the disease is very much important before taking the case as nothing exists without a cause. We sill also learn that there are apparent diseases which are not really diseases but merely disturbed states of health which may be called as indispositions. They are also known as mimicking sickness. A psoric individual has periods of indispositions from external cause but these external causes do not inflict psora on an individual. In Homeopathy susceptibility is considered as the general quality or capability of the living organism of receiving impressions; the power to react to stimuli. Every real medicine, namely, acts at all times, under all circumstances, on every living human being, and produces in him its peculiar symptoms (distinctly perceptible if the dose be large enough) so that evidently every human organism is liable to be affected, and, as it were, inoculated with the medical disease, at all times and absolutely (unconditionally), which, is by no means the case with the natural disease. We will learn that the immaterial vital principle, i.e., simple substance, everywhere pervades the organism, and in disease this disorder everywhere pervades the organism, it pervades every cell and every portion of the human economy. We will see in course of time that the change in form of a cell is the result first of disorder, that the derangement of the immaterial vital principle is the very beginning of the disorder, and that with this beginning there are changes in sensation by which man may know this beginning, which occurs long before there is any visible change in the material substance of the body. In Homeopathy, remedies are selected on the basis of Totality of symptom. The most appropriate remedy suitable to the patient is called similimum. When such a similimum is given to the patient, at times a temporary intensification of the symptoms may occur to the patient. This aggravation shall be mild and usually last only for a short period. Such an effect sometimes occurs following the first dose of the remedy or when the remedy has been taken more often than needed or if the person is unusually sensitive. A detailed explanation of the Kents 12 observations have been made with proper examples. The Philosophy of Homoeopathy rests upon the general interpretations of the system of nature which science universally recognizes as fundamental. The laws of nature have been demonstrated in relation to the laws of homeopathy. The various schools of philosophy may be broadly classified as materialistic, idealistic and substantialistic. Human pathology is the science which treats of diseased or abnormal conditions of living human beings. It is customary to divide the subject into general pathology and special pathology. Special pathology is divided into medical pathology, dealing with internal morbid conditions, and surgical pathology, which deals with external conditions. General pathology bears the same relation to special pathology that philosophy bears to the special sciences. It is the synthesis of the analyses made by special pathology. It deals with principles, theories, explanations and classifications of facts. By posology (from the Greek, posos, how much) we mean the science or doctrine of dosage. A physiological dose means a dose of a drug, empirically selected, of sufficient quantity and strength to produce a definite, predetermined effect or group of symptoms. Practically it amounts to the maximum dose consistent with safety.

Homeopathy relies largely on the mentality and the mind symtoms of a patient to identify his constitution. Homeopathic psychology deals with understanding the personality of a patient which is as important as his physical traits in individualizing the case and finding the best suited similimum.

Course content:
Psychological Materia Medica is extensively described, with special reference to case studies
comparison with similar remedies, clinical application, central issues, keynotes and the essence.

Importance:

• Effective way to learn the subtleties of psychological Materia Medica
• Effective way to learn how to apply this knowledge clinically

Beneficiaries: (CME)

• UG/PG students
• Practitioners

Course Benefit:
Many practitioners have a good knowledge of the physical Material Medica of constitutional remedies, but only a sketchy understanding of the mental characteristics. This leads inevitably to poor prescribing, as there is such a lot of overlap between the physical symptoms and generals of different remedies. Only with a deep familiarity

with the mental characteristics of the remedies can constitutional prescribing become accurate and effective.

The goal of this program is to help you cracking the competitive exams through multiple choice questions (MCQ’s) by increasing your knowledge of General Anatomy & Physiology.

Beneficiaries:

• AIAPGET/UPSC/State PSCs/Research Officer

Importance:

• To provide for the understanding of the morphological physiological and psychological principles which determine and influence the organism of the living body as a functioning unit
• To co-relate and interpret the structural organism and normal physiology of the human body and thus to provide the data on which to anticipate disturbance of functions
• To enable the student to recognize the anatomical and physiological basis of the clinical signs and symptoms of disorders due to injury, disease and mal development
• To give the student to understand the factors involved in the development of pathological processes and the possible complications which may arise there from
• For enabling the student to pick out strange, rare and uncommon symptoms from pathognomonic symptoms for individualisation of patients and drugs for the purpose of applying the law of similar in Homeopathic practice

This course shall empower the students and practitioners to accurately diagnose and manage skin diseases with Homeopathy. The focus shall be on modern terminology, diagnostic features of skin diseases, prescribing techniques and sharing of clinically verified symptoms of remedies. In addition, author’s experience about the natural course of diseases, insight on differentiating features of Homeopathic aggravation and disease aggravation, remedy reaction, General management and tips for quick redressal of common questions by the patients shall be discussed. This will surely enhance the success rate of clinical practice.

Importance:
More than 20% of patients treated by Homeopaths belong to the specialty of dermatology. This is a challenging field as patient often opt for Homeopathy as first line of treatment. The accuracy of diagnosis, remedy selection and general advice to the patients is of paramount importance. Therefore, Homeopaths are required to be given practical training with adequate number of visuals. This course will help them to overcome this inadequacy in training as it is based on 36 years of practical experience of teaching and treating skin diseases in medical colleges of Delhi.

Beneficiaries:
UG/PG students, Practitioners

Course Benefit:

• The students can get to the point information about diagnosis and Homeopathic therapeutics that can be useful for better understanding of the subject, thereby securing high grades in examinations.
• The practitioners facing bottleneck in the treatment of skin diseases can enhance their knowledge and skill in the management of skin diseases.
• The practitioners shall be benefited from the knowledge of author, who is an experienced clinician, teacher and researcher.
• The participants will be developing modern outlook towards the management of difficult and chronic dermatological cases by overcoming various dogmas.
• The knowledge of deep-acting and lesser-used drugs shall give an additional perspective in the case management.
• The students and clinicians will be able to better understand the differential diagnosis of different skin diseases and will also be able to distinguish Homeopathic aggravation from disease aggravation which is a very important aspect of case management.

Clinical Materia Medica is one of the ways of studying Materia Medica. This is one subject, which is not just to be read but practiced. It is quite simply the art of applying Materia Medica in practice.

Importance:

1. Effective way to study & understand Materia medica.
2. Learning the way to apply this knowledge in practice.

Beneficiaries:

1. UG/PG students, Practitioners

Course Benefit:

1. Understanding homeopathic remedies/drugs is quite a laborious task especially for students. This course will show what are the unique symptoms of the homeopathic remedies/drugs that oftenappear to beginners to be similar to other remedies /drugs.
2. Important is also an understanding of the remedies/drugs keynotes & characteristics, especially for practitioners. Doing a repertorization of the patient’s symptoms gets a list of closely running similar remedies, it is the keynotes & characteristics that play a final decisive role in order to arrive at the similimum.
3. In each module Dr Shah explainesdistinctive features of each drug (homeopathic remedy). The key benefit of the ‘Clinical Materia Medica’ course is that it becomes an essential tool in the hands of students and practitioners alike to identify & comprehend the remedy/drug picture and to differentiate it from other similar looking remedies/drugs.
