AETHUSA CYNAPIUM
We know it As medicine for children
We think this remedy is prescribed to childrens only. This is so called Because it is prescribed so many times for childrens and results were excellent and conclusion is made that it is only or always childrens remedy . This is true that we get wonderful results by this medicine in childrens but not “only” in childrens, we get good results in other age groups too by using this medicine if it is indicated. so we should know this difference. Similarly in the case of sepia , we think sepia is only female remedy but there is correction that sepia is not “only female” remedy or not always female remedy.
Aethusa is a well indicated remedy In special children , city children , malnourished childrens , bottle feed babies, etc.

*PHILOSOPHY*
> There Are so many wrong concepts among us like sepia is only a female’s remedy or Aethusa & Cina are only children’s remedy.
> To clear these wrong concepts we must try to find “what is truth?” . There Are so many personalities who tried to find out what is true and have guided all humanity towards the path of truth . For eg. Mahatma Gandhi, Socrates and our master Dr.Hahnemann , etc.
> Question is “ How to find truth ?. How did these leaders find the truth?.
> For this they did following things :
1) Firstly they start thinking what we are doing is true or not, if not then realizing that we are doing something wrong.
2) Then curiosity to know what is truth?
2) Logic : If it is true then there must be some logic behind it & thing which they used to find truth Is called “philosophy”.
[ Description : When Dr.Hahnemann Realized & became dissatisfied with his practice and left it because patients not getting cured. He started translating books and while translating he came across a sentence in cullen’s materia medica that “Cinchona cured malaria because it is bitter in taste”.
Firstly he started to think, is it true or not ? So he started different experiments or provings by using other substances too and by the method of inductive and deductive logic he came to the conclusion that, “ The substance which can alter the healthy state of human beings and produces signs and symptoms,This same substance can cure similar sign and symptoms in diseased individuals. And construct a branch of medical science known as homeopathy.]
> People May criticize us while finding truth because we are going against the beliefs of society but we must sustain. Dr.Hahnemann termed it as “Aude Sapere”.
> Here we should not forget that one truth can be represented in so many different ways .
>Similarly practice in Homoeopathy also has so many different shades & we can’t tell someone that these shades are wrong because Ultimately those shades will also be true if they are following principles of homeopathy.
> But we have to follow a single shade and become master of it so that no one can defeat us in that shade of practicing homeopathy rather than having incomplete knowledge of so many shades of practicing.
