International Journal of Homoeopathic Sciences

Historical review is the secondary formal qualitative research where some historical events such as personality, and diet as per personality is discovered from our Hindu spiritual literature Bhagavad Gita, is compared with our Homoeopathic science. A diet schedule is then planned taking concept of classification of foods as per three personalities from Bhagavad Gita which are compared with three miasmatic constitutions of Homoeopathy along with exercise schedule, work schedule, rest schedule and psychosocial living schedule. It is found that Bhagavad Gita classification of personalities i.e., Sattvic personality, Rajasic personality and Tamasic personality is similar to Homoeopathic classification of personalities i.e. Psoric constitution, Sycotic constitution and Syphilitic constitution respectively and with Freudian classification of dominant ‘superego’ personalities, dominant ‘ego’ personalities and dominant ‘Id’ personalities respectively. However, in Homoeopathy, specific diet for specific constitution is not described. So, in this paper, specific foods for Psoric constitution are derived from Sattvic (Simple, and aesthetic) personalities’ favourite wholesome natural foods derived from Bhagavad Gita. The specific foods for Sycotic constitution are derived from Rajasic (Royal) personalities’ favourite concentrated refined food from Bhagavad Gita. The specific foods for Syphilitic constitution are derived from Tamasic personalities’ favourite dry, preserved foods and alcoholic drinks (which are supposed to be rejected) from Bhagavad Gita. On the basis of Bhagavad Gita, our daily exercises, rest, work and psychosocial tension-free living with comparison to Freud’s theory of personalities and its defense mechanisms, is organized and expressed. Lastly, benefit of some of Indian foods are analysed. Homoeopathic miasms constitutions provides antimiasmatic medicines and Bhagavad Gita personalities provides foods and diet schedule as per personality. Both together provide us a success in curing disease and healthy living.
