Please read this first before filling the form

The aim of case form is to give our homoeopathic consultants a fair idea of you as an individual.
Please read the following instructions carefully before proceeding to fill the form.

All our efforts will be concentrated towards selecting the best possible medicine for you.
Homoeopathic medicine is mainly selected on the symptoms you give us. If we are to make a
successful prescription, we must know all the details of your sickness.
We must also understand all the features that belong to you as an individual.
This includes your reactions to various factors, your past and family history and your mental
makeup. In order to find out all about you, we shall be asking you many questions. Each one of
these questions has a definite meaning and significance for us. Even something that you may
think is not connected with your trouble may be the most important factor in deciding the correct
homoeopathic medicine. So please feel frank in giving information.
Read each question carefully, think, and if necessary, consult someone close to you and then
answer completely.

To tell or write to a homoeopathic physician, " I have a headache, eruptions, or a cough is not
enough. If you inform him that I have headaches with sharp shooting pains, especially in the left
side of the head, more so at night when going to sleep. The pains are much better when the head
is tied up and he/she cannot tolerate fan at all. I am irritated with the pain so much so that the
least noise or things not in their place makes the headache worse, till I can see that things are
back in their original place."
This kind of a feedback is more certain to help your homeopath, in understanding your
personality type and hence your remedy better.

We reserve the right to use this information provided by you for our in-house research or
statistical purpose.

‘The centre’ also aims at providing advanced clinical training to homoeopathic students /
practitioners. To achieve this, the academy conducts lectures for bonafide homoeopathic students
/ practitioners via transmission of clinic proceedings to classrooms with your prior consent.

you feel worse or better in any way from each of the factors? For instance take the factor
"sun". Suppose by going in the sun you get a headache, and then write "Headache”
opposite to "sun".
Take another example. If in hot weather you feel uneasy, and then write "Uneasy"
opposite to "Hot Weather” in the column.
In this way write the effect of each factor on you. Especially write the effect each
factor has on your main complaints. For instance if your main complaint is asthma and this
is worse when lying on the back then opposite to "lying on the back "write "asthma
becomes worse"
