Now, of the Homoeopathic approach to the study of diseases differ radically from that of Allopathic. According to the former i.e. Homoeopathy and according to strict canons of logic and philosophy, health and diseases are qualitative states of a concrete individual, Disease as described in text books of the 'Practice of Medicine' are obstructions made by our mental concepts, the factual reality is the diseased person.

But the teacher of Medicine should demonstrate to the students that the patient must be treated as a whole and not as a collection of systems and organs corresponding to the specialties of medicine. He has, in addition, to inculcate in his student the right attitude to medicine and to install in him a sense of that intimate personal relationship between doctor and patient which is the essence of good medical practice.
