Constitutional medicines are remedies designed to address inherent or acquired constitutional defects affecting all aspects of an individual’s makeup. To comprehend this concept fully, it’s crucial to understand the notion of “Constitution.”
As defined by Dr. Stuart Close, Constitution refers to the collective set of inherited characteristics that exert varying degrees of influence, determining an individual’s response to environmental stressors, whether successful or unsuccessful.
Through a constitutional diagnosis, which involves assessing an individual’s unique traits during their apparent healthy state, we can identify constitutional peculiarities. Every anti-miasmatic medicine serves as a constitutional medicine, as its effects are geared towards alleviating or mitigating constitutional defects, ultimately returning them to a latent state.
