Conflicts of mind–body in disease expression: A conflict-based approach with homoeopathic insights
Pushpa D Aralagundagi and KS Pradeep Reddy
Conflicts play a central role in the origin and expression of many physical and psychological disorders. According to psychosomatic understanding and the principles of German New Medicine (GNM), conditions such as identity conflict, acne, gastroenteritis, and bronchial asthma arise when the individual faces unresolved emotional stress like insecurity, feeling soiled, territorial anger, or suffocative fear. Each conflict manifests in a characteristic pattern, often with active and healing phases, producing symptoms that correspond to the inner turmoil. Homoeopathy, with its holistic and individualized approach, addresses not only the physical complaints but also the underlying mental state. Remedies such as Calcarea carbonica, Natrum muriaticum, Sulphur, Nux vomica, Arsenicum album, and Sambucus nigra act on the totality of symptoms, encompassing both somatic expressions and mental conflicts like fear, grief, anger, shame, or indecision. By matching the patient’s inner conflict with the simillimum, homoeopathy offers a gentle yet profound method of healing, restoring balance in both mind and body.
