"Similia Similibus Curenture" elucidation.

Homoeopathy is a system of medicine devised in the rule 'Similia Similibus Curenture" elucidates 'Let likes be treated by likes'. The inventor of this new system was Samuel Hahnemann, a great allopathic doctor who lived in Germany from 1755-1843. Many might have read that he was a great author, and will have curiosity to know ,how he was led to this discovery. 


Samuel Hahnemann-1841 



  • one of the dazzling discern , as it appeared to him, was treatment of malarial fevers with Cinchona bark.
  • While Hahnemann was translating an Allopathic Materia medica into German, he came across a portion which dealt with the febrifuge properties of Cinchona. He thought that Cinchona was a specific for precised type of intermittent fever viz. Malaria, he was not at all able to agree with Dr.Cullen , the author, who explained that cinchona bark possessed certain febrifuge properties, as it was the most aromatic and bitter material known. 
  • Hahnemann called this theory preposterous, as there are many substances known in the vegetable kingdom which are bitter or aromatic as Cinchona, but none of them has any curative action on fevers.He knew too that for exciting a kind of fever substances such as very strong coffee, Arnica, Pepper, Ignatia and Arsenic are capable, could quench some type of fevers. He became anxious therefore to discover other more actual reason s for the febrifuge action of Cinchona, his mind could not relax until he was contented.

  • (EXPERIMENT)It transpired to him one night to  attempt  the effect of Cinchona bark in health.So he determined to experiment on his own person. Early in the morning he went to the market place, got some Cinchona bark, prepared a tincture with it and then supervised it to himself, 4 drams twice a day. Within a few days he developed in himself almost all the old symptoms having a marked similarity to cases of intermittent fevers, which were cured b him by the same drug, while he was practicing allopathy. The paroxysms lasted each time two or three hours only and appeared afresh whenever the dose was repeated. With the cessation of the dose, he regained his normal health.


  • In 1796 after six year's experiment in this manner with several drugs on himself and his friends, his view on the remedial action of drugs had taken definite shape and he said that every powerful medicinal substance is capable of producing in a healthy human body a peculiar set of disease symptoms, and that every one of them is also capable of curing in the sick the symptoms which are similar to those that it can produce in the body in its health condition. Thus hahnemann discovered and promulgated the Law of Similars, "Similia Similibus Curentur" and named the new system  as Homoeopathy. Homoi means similar and pathos means affection.

To enter the temple complex at Sabarimalia, devotiees have to climb Pathinettampadi(18 steps). Pathinettampadi to the sanctum is divine in all aspects. we can see Kaduthaswamay and Karuppaswamy standing at the bottom of Pathinettampadi, who are the guardians of the Sannidhanam. They are dwarapalakas  and safeguard the piligrims from the dark spirits, and to reach the Sannidhanam safely. Only piligrims with IRUMUDI are allowed via Pathinettampadi. For others, who come without deeksha another gateway is provided. We went through this gate.

 We had a nijarupa darshanam of Lord Ayypan, where the idol made of panchaloha is about one and half feet tall, sitting in yogic posture.

 We have taken accommodation  for that day and taken rest, and while returning back, once again we had the darshan of the Lord Ayyapa with flowers alankaram.

Return path way to pamba in other route


Returned to pamba in another route where 2 kms is the same route. From there, we had to go through the subway. This is a road path, full of electric lights and the piligrims can travel even in the nights without fear. We can listen to the melodious chirping sounds of the birds and rustling sounds of forest tree leaves. We can see Lord Ayyapan on the sign boards erected by the forest department.
