Manifestation

                                            MANIFESTATION

We have to put entire of our knowledge and effort to get the Manifestation. So, you can just understand the importance of manifestation. What is more surprising here is that the remedy itself indicates whether the given remedy is suitable for the patient or not. When I started the journey of Homoeopathy,  I my self could not believe that the Single remedy system  actually does so. But when the manifestation was produced in my body, I experienced the fact and got the cure. This is an unbelievable truth and there can not be any other system  parallel to this. It is better for all of us  to believe this. 

                   According to the single remedy system of cure when we give a  remedy it produces some symptom. We have to learn to read, understand and interpret  these produced symptoms. The so produced symptom may be an aggravation or a manifestation. Judgement of aggravation and manifestation is the matter of great concern and practice. In  few cases the produced  symptoms are all mixed and therefore difficult to understand. In such cases we must be able to differentiate  the symptoms carefully. In  both the cases the patient’s feeling and the condition is a matter of great concern. I am very sure that one can learn the art very easily.             

                                                                          If it is an aggravation that means the remedy is not suitable for the patient and it must be anti-doted immediately. In the case of aggravation, the patient’s feeling and the condition may become worse or some more sufferings are created.The symptoms of an aggravation are the part of MM and repertory. 

                                                                                           If the produced symptom  is a manifestation that means the remedy is suitable for the patient and it is the most happy thing to happen. In the case of manifestation the patient’s feeling and condition becomes better. Manifestation is the indication of right remedy for the patient. It is generally the sign of correct and suitable remedy for the case in hand. These are also called favourable symptoms.These symptoms are not the part of MM or repertory. Let us see how to recognise a manifestation—

(1) Glandular swelling—It is one good manifestation. It is generally in the neck (throat/ larynx) . The symptom is temporary and disappears after some times. The gland may become painful but the patient will feel better. Be careful and observe for some time, it may be an aggravation.

(2) Toothache or sensitives  in teeth— It is one very common manifestation. It may be in one tooth or in  many teeth. It may be in a tooth with cavity or in a sound teeth. If the toothache or sensitiveness is continuous in nature, then it may be an aggravation (Refer MM & Repertory for the remedy). If the toothache or sensitiveness appears and disappears  and repapers again after some times, then it must be considered to be manifestation. 

(3) Headache- It is a very common manifestation. This type of headache is intermittent (Do not mix with periodical) in nature. It appears for some times and disappears and may reappear again after some times. It could be partially or in full head. The nature  of headache is something like heaviness.  Be careful in deciding. Few remedies produce headache as mentioned in MM. It is continuous in nature with some more symptoms or increase in the sufferings.

(4) Bleeding with stool (Piles)- It is also a manifestation. Bleeding is caused temporarily. Few remedies can produce this symptom as part of aggravation. I have never experienced it so far.

(5) Eruption in mouth- It is a perfect manifestation. It appears for some times and subsides automatically. 

(6) Ear pain (Otalgia)- It is perfect manifestation. The pain appears for few seconds or minutes.  it is in either of the ear. We should compare with the sides effected.

(7) Rheumatism—I have my self experienced this. The pain wanders from one part to other part of the body. It appears, disappears, changes place and reappears again. It must be differentiated carefully with aggravation. The nature of the symptom may be slightly different but the patient should not feel worse ,if  not better. 

(8) Eruption is considered to be a manifestation. It is generally in face.

(9) Otorrhoea- Some kind of discharge from the ear is considered to be a manifestation. If Something unwanted comes out from the body, it is always good.                                

                                                                             In all of the above what is common is that the patient must feel better with manifestation  and must feel worse with aggravation. I have never mentioned the time duration of appearance or disappearance or reappearance because it will again depend upon many factors like remedy, potency and mainly quantity. I will explain it again in the practicals of Homoeopathy. Long Live the name of Dr. Hahnemann.
