SHREYA JOSHI Bio-chemic system of medicine may be defined as , the branch of therapeutics based on the LAW OF DEFICIENCY , i.e. the deficiency of inorganic salts which cause disequilibrium in the harmonious functioning of the organic constituents of the cell , so it must be corrected by supplying the requisite proportion of the inorganic salt.  Virchow’s Cellular Pathology:- Dr. schuessler was greatly influenced by R.Virchow , the founder of cellular pathology. According to Virchow , ‘ The nature of the disease is the disease of the cells.’ Schuessler agreed with Virchow that the basic cause of all life processes and the changes in organs and tissues was to be found in the sensitivity of the cells. Dr. schuessler on gaining inspiration from articles formulated a new system of therapitcs. In march 1873 he published his articles ‘ An abridged homoeopathic Therapeutics.’  Dr. schuessler , after 15 years of homoeopathic practice , became particularly interested in the important inorganic salts of which the human body is composed of , and in their quantitative relations. 1873 is considered the birth year of biochemistry. In 1874 schuessler’s 1st work appeared. It’s tittle was ‘an abridged therapy on the basis of physiology and cellular pathology’. The inorganic substances found in blood and tissues are sufficient to cure all diseases and in particular they help to regulate constitutional disturbances. BIOCHEMIC Vs HOMOEOPATHY :- BIOCHEMIC HOMOEOPATHY This system was discovered by Dr. schussler in 1873. This system was discovered by Dr. Hahnemann in 1790. Based on : LAW OF DEFICIENCY. Based on : LAW OF SIMILIA SIMILIBUS CURANTUR. Number of drugs in biochemic are only 12. Number of drugs in homoeopathy is more than 4500. All medicines are prepared from mineral kingdom only. Medicines are prepared from different kingdom. Drugs are prepared only in decimal scale. Drugs are prepared in all the three scales. BIOCHEMIC HOMOEOPATHY Polypharmacy is allowed. Only monopharmacy is allowed. Frequent repetation is allowed Only single dose is allowed. Doses are minute and have physiological action. Doses are minute and act by dynamic way. Susceptibility is not considered. Susceptibility is considered. Concept of diathesis , temperament and miasm are not Concept of diathesis , temperament and miasm are considered. considered. Medicine acts through circulatory and digestive system. Medicine acts through nervous system. It is dispensed in tabloid and powder form. It is dispensed in mother tincture and globules form. Bio chemic salt Found in Deficiency of salt producing diseases condition 1.

Undernourishment. Effusion of tissue. Falling of hair. Nail diseases.  The biochemic medicine restores the ion gradient necessary for the normal functioning of the cells. Dr. schussler suggested that biochemistry rectifies disease directly , by administration of homogeneous substances , while homoeopathy does so indirectly , by administration of hetrogeneous substances. Biochemisty works on sound and valid principles. Thus the two system can be said to be siblings under the skin. Efforts By :- Dr. Shreya Joshi
