Principles of Homeopathic Prescribing | Modus Foundation + Methodology of Homeopathic Prescribing | Modus Prescriber

In this module Dr. Harsh emphasizes that “the Organon” is not a book of philosophy. He explains that it is a structured guide to homoeopathic clinical case management. In this module Dr. Harsh unveils a code of Three (3), the hidden secret of the Organon. He explains that this code of 3 is applicable to every section of the Organon.

If you want to understand the concept of vital force as truly envisaged by Hahnemann then dwell deep in this module with Dr. Harsh. He guides you through antiquity to Hahnemann and Kent’s concept of vital force and explaining in the end that vital force is a conceptual controlling principle of life.

Dr Harsh traces the history of “vitalistic concept” of human form, from Vedic era till Kent’s era. He then clearly, and based on modern Anatomy and physiology, fits the “vitalistic model” of human form with modern embryology, Anatomy and physiology and presents the most updated and scientific concept of Human Organization. He calls it Layers and Levels of Human form. Then he explains the Planes of sickness, finally defining 6 attributes of human organization namely Temperament, Typology, Biological constitution, Heredity, Miasma and Diathesis.

Dr. Harsh provides a clear cut and deeper understanding of 3 attributes of constitution which are physical constitution i.e. Typology, Grauvogl’s Biological constitution. In the end he differentiates between constitution and diathesis explaining the role of constitution and diathesis in prescribing.

Dr. Harsh describes how the concept of temperaments has evolved over time and how temperaments should be understood by students and practitioners of Homeopathy.

This module is dedicated to the evolution of the concept of miasma from Hahnemann to O.A Julian’s time, a span of one and a half century. In the end Dr. Harsh combines all the previous concept of history of miasma into a working model of miasma for modern scientific homoeopath.

This module will open your eyes to the connection between the miasmatic concept of Hahnemann and the Immune system of the body. Dr Harsh has directly linked 5 miasmas to 5 Hyper-allergic responses of the immune system. Here he also elaborates the “Holistic concept of miasma” and how miasms are hidden causes of disease.

This module deals with the phenomenon and causes of disease. It explains the natural history of a chronic disease with Hahnemannian insight. Dr. Harsh gives you Hahnemannian Classification of Diseases and describes its modern interpretation.

This is a very important module because Dr. Harsh not only gives you a classification of symptoms but also presents to you clear cut definition of Subjective, Objective, Pathogenetic, Pathognomic, Constitutional, Anamnesic , Complete, Characteristic, Concomitant, Grand characteristic and Keynotes symptoms.

On the way through this module Dr. Harsh explains classification and Totality of disease as given to us by Boenninghausen.

An interesting module where Dr Harsh takes you back in time to make it clear how repertories evolved from symptoms to the cataloging of symptoms, thus tracing the evolution of repertories over two centuries. Dr Harsh describes in detail the value of stalwarts including Kent, Boger and Schroyens and their impact on evolution of repertory.

Dr. Harsh lucidly explains how Kentian Logic gave birth to his structured repertory which eventually ended up being the basis of computer based software repertories.

This module teaches you a rather simple way of successful repertorisation i.e. to find a correct similimum. Dr. Harsh explains the difference between mechanical and artistic repertorisation as defined by Kent ending with Kentian scheme of Repertorisation and how to make a portrait of disease, as envisaged by Hahnemann.

Case taking forms an integral part of homeopathy as it lays the foundation of cure. The module talks about the aims and objectives of accurate case taking and the techniques of eliciting the symptoms in different types of cases encountered by a homeopath in his daily medical practice as well as in sporadic diseases, epidemics and medical emergencies.

Case analysis is the second most important step in homeopathy after case taking. Dr Harsh Nigam elaborates upon the conversion of symptoms into a meaningful hierarchy from the perspective of a homeopath, their grading and the strategies of their evaluation and repertorization. The module introduces the students to a new concept of Eziyaga model of Layers of Disease and its role in a homeopath’s medical practice.

When a homeopath begins to plan the treatment for a patient, he employs a specific therapeutic technique to gain the maximum benefit in terms of healing his patient. This module helps a homeopath understand simple therapeutic techniques like clinical prescribing, organopathic prescribing, constitutional prescribing and miasmatic prescribing which must be employed in order for him to maximize the benefit of his treatment to his patient.

Dr Nigam talks about the complex therapeutic techniques like the sequential and layered prescribing, which are relatively new techniques of prescribing in homeopathy. He throws light upon the different aspects that a homeopath must take into account before he begins writing a prescription. Getting acquainted with these techniques helps a homeopath in making efficient and effective prescriptions even in the most complicated cases.

Besides selecting the right remedy, a homeopath must also choose the right potency for his medicines to work effectively. This module acquaints the students with Kent’s concept of the octaves emphasizing upon the considerations that must be kept in mind to select the right potency. Every case is different and needs a different potency depending upon the susceptibility, the plane of disease, the typology, the temperament and biological constitution of the patient. The other factors are the nature of the disease and the nature of the medicine which have all been thoroughly taken up and explained By Dr Harsh Nigam in this module.

Apart from the right remedy and the right potency, a repetition schedule is but essential when it comes to bringing cure to a patient. This module talks about the various types of doses, and the classical methods of administration of remedies and their repetitions as was done by Hahnemann, Kent and other stalwarts of Homeopathy.

Today’s homeopath works in the modern scenario with a myriad of modern diseases. Not just an adjustment with advancing technology is required but also a homeopath today needs to adapt his style according to the perception of today’s world of medicine. This module introduces a homeopath to the guidelines of adapting conventional homeopathy to modern clinical scenario and plan his treatment and follow up accordingly.
