Chapter 12 : The Dynamic Action of Drugs For exam

Introduction:

  • This chapter explains how homoeopathic drugs act on the human body.
  • According to homoeopathy, drugs act on the dynamic (vital) plane, not just physical tissues.
  • Their action is energetic and invisible, influencing the vital force, not just material parts.

1. What is Meant by “Dynamic Action”?

  • Dynamic = energetic, non-material, invisible
  • Drugs act on the vital force, not directly on organs like in allopathy.
  • They disturb or balance the life energy of a person, depending on the similarity.

Mnemonic: D-E-E-P

  • Dynamic
  • Energetic
  • Effect on vital force
  • Potentized action

2. Role of Vital Force

  • Vital force maintains harmony and balance in the body.
  • When disturbed by external causes (e.g., stress, trauma), disease occurs.
  • Homoeopathic medicines correct this vital imbalance through dynamic influence.

Medicines do not “kill germs” or “replace hormones”—they stimulate the vital force to heal naturally.


3. How Are Drugs Prepared for Dynamic Action?

  • By the method of potentization:
    • Dilution: Reducing material content
    • Succussion: Vigorous shaking
  • These steps release the dynamic (energetic) potential of the medicine.

The more it is diluted and succussed, the greater the dynamic power.


4. Dynamic Action Is Seen in Drug Proving

  • During drug proving, healthy individuals take a potentized remedy and develop symptoms.
  • These symptoms are not due to chemical reactions, but energetic interactions with the vital force.
  • This proves that homoeopathic remedies act on the dynamic plane.

5. Difference from Allopathic Drugs

Allopathy

Homoeopathy

Acts on material body

Acts on vital force (dynamic level)

Depends on chemical dosage

Depends on potentized energy

Targets symptoms externally

Treats root internally

May cause side effects

Minimal or no side effects


6. Dynamic Diseases Need Dynamic Medicines

  • Diseases like fear, anxiety, suppressed emotions, grief — all start dynamically.
  • They cannot be cured by material medicines.
  • Only dynamic medicines (homoeopathy) can reach this level and correct it.

Mnemonic: MIND

  • Mental level
  • Invisible symptoms
  • Non-material remedies
  • Dynamic cure

Potentization

Process of diluting and shaking a substance to activate its energy

Conclusion:

The dynamic action of drugs is the core concept of homoeopathy. Medicines act not on tissues directly, but on the vital force — the life energy that controls all functions. Through potentization, medicines gain their dynamic power and help in restoring health by correcting internal imbalances.
