To a homoeopath, what matters are the complaints of the patient. The patient is seen as a whole and not in parts. Therefore it is rightly said that “homoeopathy does not treat diseases, it treats sick individuals.”

Though it may sound a bit strange, yet the basic principle of homoeopathy is:

“There are no diseases, Only sick individuals”

Individual Characteristics

• Individualization of the patient means studying the physical, mental and emotional aspects of the patient’s personality.
• It also means taking into account the role of the individual in society and the consequent pressure exerted to him.
• Every individual is unique. Therefore their reaction and response to any stimulus whether external or internal is different.
• As no two individuals are alike. Hence it automatically follows that even their reaction to any identical would be different.
• According to homeopathy, patients who follow treatments prescribed in newspapers are taken for a ride, for it goes against the very basic principle of homeopathy.

How can a medicine prescribed for on individual be effective for hundreds of other people?

• Homeopaths believe that an individual depends on may cases, resulting in an unique response.

Factors affecting the response to a stimulus are:

• Upbringing.
• Environment.
• Family History
• Personal history

All these factors are taken into account before the patient is treated. There are various treatments for acne in homeopathy. But it is useless to mention the names of the medicine, for you would not be able to decide which works best for you. You would need to consult a homeopath.
