Homoeopathy — Page 1
Preface 1 In the name of Allah, the Gracious, Ever Merciful PREFACE The story of my involvement in is very interesting. Soon after the partition of the Indian sub-continent (and our migration from Qadian in India to Rabwah in Pakistan), I started suffering from severe attacks of headache, commonly known as a Migraine. This is usually a one-sided headache associated with nausea, vomiting and restlessness. I used to take Aspirin for relief, but it would adversely affect my stomach and kidneys, and also caused palpitations. My late father had an allopathic medicine called Sandol for his own use, which would give me relief rather promptly. After the partition of the Indian sub- continent, it was not available in Pakistan and had to be imported from Calcutta, (India). Once during a severe attack of migraine when there was no Sandol available, my late father sent me a homoeopathic remedy. At that time, I had no belief in the usefulness of but I took the medicine in good faith. Suddenly, I realised that my headache had totally disappeared and for no apparent reason, I was lying in bed with my eyes shut. Never before, had I experienced such an astonishingly rapid effect of any medicine. After that, another incident enhanced my interest in. After I got married, my late wife, Asifa Begum (Allah have mercy on her), told me about her ailment of long-standing. My late father had many books on so I started searching for a remedy for my wife. By good luck, it so happened that I opened up a book and found a discourse on Natrum Mur whose symptoms and signs exactly matched those of my late wife, Asifa Begum. I gave her one high potency dose and she never had the same problem again. This strengthened my faith that was definitely effective, whether I understood it or not. After that I started a regular study of homoeopathic books in my father’s library. Many a time, I studied all night long, and thus acquired knowledge of remedies and their constitution. I diligently learned about the usage and the special features of homoeopathic remedies and then started treating patients.
