Facial expression is a subtle yet powerful unspoken language that reflects the internal state of a patient. In homoeopathy, where the individual is treated rather than the disease, observation of facial expressions becomes an essential part of the totality of symptoms. Facial expressions often reveal mental, emotional, and constitutional states that the patient may not express verbally. This article highlights the importance of facial expressions in homoeopathic practice, their philosophical basis, clinical relevance, and illustrative understanding from Materia Medica and cinematic characters to better understand the different facial expression.
