“Every true illness is nothing but an expression of your constitutional dyscrasia…”
Every individual is as unique as his constitution. Constitution is defined as the structure, composition, physical make up or nature of a person, comprising inherited qualities and attributes which are modified by the environment. Constitutional factors govern Health and illness. Weaknesses or shortcomings in the constitution represent the constitutional dyscrasia which predispose the individual to certain illnesses.
An individual can be influenced by external and internal factors and fall ill. Illnesses can be of various types and can be classified as one of the following :
Pseudo illness - Acute illness
- Chronic illness (true illness)-Physical , Psycho somatic, Mental
Pseudo illnesses are false illnesses due to errors in lifestyle; Acute illnesses are short lasting illnesses due to overwhelming external factors and the individual recovers from it eventually. Chronic illnesses are those which do not heal on their own ; they continue to weaken the constitution unless treated correctly.
The correct therapeutic approach is based on Nature’s principles of Healing and the treatments must themselves be capable of restoring the disturbed vital energy of the individual. Thus the treatment has three important components
- To treat the core constitutional dycrasias
- To antidote the acquired toxins
- To heal the Mind State
Every case of Colitis is unique. The treatment of Colitis is also as unique as the individual. The holistic treatment is designed to treat the constitutional dyscrasia, to detoxify the system and to heal the disturbed Mind State.
