      Hahnemann father of homoeopathy born on 10th April 1775 at Meissen in Saxony of Germany, blessed with intutional art, a philanthropist, a philosopher a brilliant chemist, a philologist who had an excellent command on 14 languages, a man of great tradition and culture who have had incalculable noble qualities. It is not out of place to mention that from time immemorial the practice of medicine has been called as an “art of healing’. Hence cure is absolutely a product of art.

      Hahnemann vexed with the vague and unsatisfactory medical Knowledge prevailing in practice in those days, used his in born intutional art with intuitional awareness while observing the sick person so that the art of observation is total and pure. His observation is without any veil of prejudice, with an intuitional art of awareness, which penetrates into the sick person’s mind unraveling the root cause of disease in its total perspective.

      Hahnemann personally proved drugs in METERIA MEDICA PURA and 70 original works on chemistry and this most important works are the products of his above peerless observational skill.

      Hahnemann emphasized to treat sick person as a whole and warned against treating diseases bit by bit in fragmentation by dividing the body into a water tight compartments using their acquired knowledge of science ignoring the art of holistic approach there by allopaths treats more and heals less which exhibits, “Where there is more science and less art, there is a more treating and less healing”, Hahnemann gave much importance to treat the sick person as a whole.

      Further Hahnemann by his art of potentisation made reducing the quantity of medicine at the same time increasing the quality of medicine. Thereby Hahnemann contributed in bringing latent curative properties of a medicine. It not only saves the sick person by suffering from side and adverse effects of administering crude drugs but also reducing the cost of medicine up to negligible limits having thrown no burden even on the poorest of the poor patient. This is one of the great contributions made Hahnemann to the entire humanity.

      It is pertinent to say that Hahnemann is the first person in the history of the medical science who introduced to give prime importance to the mental symptoms of the human being by giving prime importance to mental symptoms in case-taking Hahnemann put homoeopathy always one step ahead than other systems of medicine. In this regard I recollect the sayings of William Hamilton” On earth there is nothing great in beings but human beings, In the human beings there is nothing great but mind”,

      Thus it is by this, that Hahnemann evidently proved on opening new vistas in observing the sick patient with the art of intuitional awareness giving much more importance than thoughts of prejudice coming in, so as to enable the focusing of pure observational energy freely with the observation of the sick person as a whole. Thus he proved that one may have all knowledge of homoeopathy that it is possible for human being to have and yet to be a failure in applying that art in its beauty and love by the lack of artistic approach of pure observation in full clarity without the pollution of any thought of prejudice while the act of the artistic observation is happening.

      This fact of reality was also noticed by the disciples of Hahnemann and later by the Dr Kent and others till date by abandoning the orthodoxy systems, proved evidently the effectiveness of the art of the pure observational technique used by Hahnemann earlier. Therefore, in a nutshell it is no any exaggeration in saying or affirming in devotion “Hahnemann is the Father of Homoeopathy”.
