Hi Everyone

I was wondering, why don't and/or can't homeopaths prescribe using disease names.

My logic is that all diseases are named after a certain set of physical symptoms which are found in all patients having that disease.

For example all patients of Malaria, Chicken pox etc. will have a certain set of necessary physical symptoms.

Knowing the disease name will easily point the direction of the homeopath towards a certain set of remedies that cover those symptoms. The only added info that a homeopath might need would be regarding the mental symptoms and then he can prescribe.

This essentially means that lab tests can be used as a very important tool in diagnosis and thus can help the homeopath become a better practitioner.

This might also mean that based on experience of homeopaths around the world we could have a specific number of disease specific remedies that work really well in certain diseases because those diseases affect only a certain type of people, thus making even constitutional prescribing easy.
