EVIDENCE OF HOMEOPATHY

¦ CASE REPORTS
SPECTRUM OF HOMEOPATHY
ANALYSIS OF THE CASE WITH THE 8-BOX METHOD
In the last year, I have also introduced this idea of classifying the symptoms in a case into eight boxes.
The idea is that we categorise the symptoms in the eight boxes, and after the exercise, we see which of
the boxes carries maximum weight. That becomes the entry point to the case.

Why do people have extra-marital affairs?
Maybe for diverting the mind, to get attention from the wife.
If the man goes to another woman then his wife will be with
him only.
Why does a woman do it?
Basically for money. I had seen a movie where the actress is
from a well-settled house but she has an extra-marital affair.
If someone is in a situation where she does not have
money, what is her feeling?
My feelings are that everybody has a good life and can go out
but I cannot do it. Everyone goes out to shop and to eat out.
What is the feeling there?
Handicapped.
(Here she comes back to the point where she started. This also
means we have more or less completed the cycle of the case.)
What is handicapped?
Dependent. I have to depend on someone. I feel I should do
the work myself.
If others are healthy and they go out, what is the opposite
of that?
I cannot accept it. I was also like this.
What do you feel now? What do you miss the most?
I miss the computer classes that I used to go to, I can’t go
shopping or to teach in college. I cannot go out.
How does it feel?
Very sad.
Tell me about the sadness. How does the sadness feel?
What is the sadness like?
Stuck.
(HG)
. You are still there
(HG)
and you cannot move.
(It’s important to understand the motive of the extra-marital
affair – the motive must also have a connection with her
sensation. So the motive here is ‘money’. Money is important
to go out or else one will be handicapped. So the perception
revolves around the same ‘sensation’. She spontaneously
came back to it from where it started in the beginning of
the case.)
