The dawn of homoeopathy in the world unbolted a new epoch in medicine and gave new

connotation to the word “Cure”. According to Stuart Close, homoeopathy alone, of all therapeutic

methods, can legitimately claim to effect true cures by medication, as distinguished from recoveries

(natural recoveries following treatment consisting of mere palliation of symptoms); and this it claims,

first, because it is based upon a definite general principle or law of nature; second, because it is able to

successfully apply that principle to individual cases; and third, because it does actually restore the sick to

health, quickly, safely, gently and permanently, upon easily comprehensible principles.

After maintaining all these possible ways, we may fail to cure if there may present any deflected

current in the path of cure. We are aware about the fact that disease is manifested perceptibly by signs and

symptoms and cure is manifested by the removal of these signs and symptoms. Sometimes we may face

hurdle to remove the manifestation of symptoms and it may happen that patient is not improving. Strictly

speaking the removal of all the signs and symptoms of the case is equivalent to a cure, but if the

symptoms disappear and the patient is not restored to health and strength it means either that some of the

most important symptoms of the case have been overlooked, or that the case has passed beyond the

curable stage. So there is definitely obstacle to cure created either by the nature of disease itself (Incurable

diseases, Rareness of symptoms etc.) or by the physician (Limited knowledge of Materia medica,

impatience of the physician, mistakes in prescribing, mistakes in proper homoeopathic case taking etc.) or

by the patient in any form (patient does not give proper information, the patient gives a confusing or

inadequate report, patient fails to take remedy correctly, excessive use of medicines, life style factors,

drugs and alcohol abuse etc.). This article, portrayed about the obstacles to cure from homoeopathic point

of view.

Let's discuss.
