Every sickness or disease we get has a definite cause and effect relationship.
Be it any Mental, emotional or physical ailment. Our whole body which consists of mental, emotional and physical level of existence is bound together by an energy force\/ Quantum Field or as Vital Force which Founder of Homeopathic System of medicine Dr Sammuel Hahnemann has mentioned many years ago.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Again there is also a layer in our Mind & Emotions as discovered by great psychologist Dr Sigmund Freud. These are Conscious (10%), Preconscious (10%) & Unconscious Mind (80%). It is also called the \u2018Ice Berg Theory\u2019 of Dr Sigmund Freud.
Here the most important part is of the Unconscious Mind which stores all the memories from Childhood to present age and is responsible for the reaction we give to any given situation and circumstances. Unconscious Mind is the major\u00a0 cause of the disease developed and the character of a patient.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Homeopathic Medicines has a miraculous power to enter the unconscious and remove buried grief and anxieties of a patient which was causing Mental, Emotional & Physical disease in a patient.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

At Good Health Homeo Clinic, Dr Saswata Kundu<\/a>, experienced homeopathy doctor in Siliguri, makes in depth analysis of every case to discover hidden grief, anxieties, fright and other stresses which has caused disease in a patient.
It has been observed after Classical Homeopathic treatment with Holistic approach that unconscious repressed emotions, anxieties and fears that were the cause of disease are removed together with the sickness the patient is suffering from.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Psychology has known for a long time that the mind isn’t one single thing – it works in layers, and each one does a different job.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The Conscious mind makes up about 10% of our mind. According to Dr Sigmund Freud it is the uppermost part or tip of the ice-berg. This is the part you’re using right now: your current thoughts, the decisions you’re aware of making, what you notice around you. The Conscious Mind is your objective or thinking mind. It can only hold one thought at a time & it has no memory.

Conscious Mind has 4 different functions-<\/strong>
1. Identification- Identifies the information through six senses.
2. Comparison- Identified information is immediately compared with stored information in your Pre-conscious & Un-conscious mind.
3. Analysis- Then the information analysis occurs for further action.
4. Decision or Action- An organism acts as the final action of the conscious mind.<\/p>

Here’s the surprising part – it’s actually the smallest layer. Most of what drives how you act happens somewhere you can’t see.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Below Conscious mind, Preconscious mind lies making up another 10%. It is the next slightly submerged portion of the tip of the ice-berg.<\/p>


Think of this as the mind’s waiting room. It holds things you’re not thinking about at this exact moment but can pull up without much effort – your old address, a childhood friend’s name, a habit you didn’t realize you had.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Unlike the memories of the unconscious mind which are not easily accessible to our awareness, preconscious thoughts & memories can be brought into the conscious mind with some effort or by some specific triggers.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

It sounds minor, but the preconscious quietly steers a lot of your conscious decisions.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The largest portion, the major submerged part of the iceberg about 80%, is the Unconscious mind. This is the deepest layer, and the one you have the least access to. Repressed emotions, old grief, fears are buried inside us from when we are in mother\u2019s womb to your current age. These experiences shape your character and shape your personality.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

When we are in a dream state, when our control over our conscious mind is lost we dream according to our repressed emotions in our unconscious mind. So taking dream symptoms for Classical Homeopathic Treatment<\/a> is very necessary as it reflects our unconscious directly. It has been observed repeatedly after successful Classical Homeopathic Treatment patients’ negative dream patterns are gone together with the improvement of the physical and mental disease.<\/p>

Our Unconscious mind is also responsible widely for our physical pathology and disorders. Occurrence of any physical disease is not accidental, there must be a cause for every disease we get.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

If through Classical Homeopathic Treatment we do not cure the physical pathology from the root cause then it has been observed that repeated suppression of the physical pathology pushes it to the more deeper organs or the patient\u2019s anxieties and depression increases or it the physical pathology returns again and again after repeated effort of the suppression of it. It means that this physical pathology is the body’s cry to get rid of it and to protect the deep mental-emotional level of a person.<\/p>

So, in Classical Homeopathic treatment it\u2019s always the mission of us to cure the disease from the root through healing the unconscious.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The development of one’s personality is not something that happens instantly; rather, it is a gradual process where all the three layers of the mind interact together.<\/p>

Conscious Mind <\/strong>experiences impact and\u00a0 how we project ourselves and make analysis, decision and actions.
Action of the conscious mind is further modulated by our stored memories, experiences, suppressed emotions, fears and anxieties in our unconscious mind.

<\/p>

Preconscious<\/strong> associations shape our habits, inclinations, and automatic behavior making them easier to perform without conscious thoughts.<\/p>

This automation allows us to perform complex tasks, like driving a car or playing an instrument with very minimal conscious efforts. Thus the preconscious mind modulated much of our learned pattern actions.

The Unconscious Mind is<\/strong> the main store-house of our experiences, suppressed emotions, fears, grief etc. These patterns that one is likely to acquire during childhood influence our personality attributes including being resilient, insecure, confident, or sensitive.
Also to hide a person’s grief, jealousy, anxieties, deep insecurities etc most of the person acquire the mask as described below which gradually develops their outer image which they represent to the world outside.

A person in grief is smiling and laughing to hide their grief to others.

A Jealous Person represents the outside world to be over generous and helpful. They also acquire a mask of artificial smiling and laughing to hide their darkness of jealousy deep inside their mind which originates again from an inferiority complex deep inside their un-conscious mind.

Many times a person with Anxiety and Insecurity acquire a mask of Dictatorial in their family and subordinates but submissive to their superior and over friendly and generous to the outside world to hide their deep insecurities.<\/p>

In case when all these three levels function well in harmony with each other, then an individual will be having a rounded personality.

If a person without a developing mask outside of him\/her accepts their negative feelings and tries to encounter it with positivity and confidence, then these repetitive actions slowly improves their confidence and develops a healthy and robust personality.

But if that same person slowly develops their mask more and more, then that inner fighting drains down their energy and that person develops sickness in their mental, emotional as well as physical level. This \u2018Masking\u2019<\/strong> has been described by Great Psychiatrist Dr Carl Jung<\/strong> as \u2018Persona\u2019<\/strong>. And disorder in Persona is called \u2018Personality Disorder\u2019.

One of the fundamental laws of homeopathy is that not only is good health the absence of symptoms, but it is also about balancing the mind, the emotions, and the body. In recent years, it has become clear that both repressed emotions and chronic stress, grief\u00a0 can be contributing factors for several physical ailments, such as:<\/p>
