Introduction
Suppression is the removal of external symptoms of disease by external, mechanical, chemical or topical treatment or by means of powerful crude medicines.3

Our material body is functioning because of the immaterial or dynamic Vital force or Vital energy which is present in each and every cell of the body. When this Vital force or vital energy is functioning harmoniously without any disturbance the organism is at perfect health and ease. When there is disturbance in the vital energy or the immaterial substance there is a change in the normal function. We are able to perceive this change by the signs and symptoms produced in the organism which we call it as disease. This vital force or vital energy can be restored into order only by the remedy which is capable of producing similar signs and symptoms. Only the totality of symptoms or entire collection of perceptible phenomena helps us in choosing the remedy. When only a part of the symptoms or a single symptom is considered and prescribed the expression of Vital force or Vital energy is altered and not restored to normal. This leads to suppression. The disease is expressed in a different set of symptoms or expressed through disturbance in other organs or it may be driven deeper to affect vital organs, but never cured.5

Some conditions which leads to suppression are

  1. Conditions like prolonged worry, grief, anxiety, fear, disappointment, overexertion, unsatisfied longing for mate or offspring can disturb and suppress the normal functioning of vital force.
  2. Medicines which are not homoeopathic to the disease when used in crude form, physiologic and large doses suppress the disease. In disease Vital force or energy should be allowed to express the disturbance in its own way. When physiological doses are used they change the original picture of disease.
  3. External applications to remove the skin symptoms. This causes the skin symptoms to disappear and increases the diseases in internal organs.
  4. Suppression of natural secretions of the body like sweat, menses, leucorrhoea, lochia, nasal discharges. This disturbs the normal elimination function of the body and leads to affection of vital organs
  5. Common form of suppression is the removal of diseased organ or part by surgery. This leads to removal of seat of disease or results of disease while the real disturbance in Vital force or Energy exists. This forces the Vital force or energy to express the disease in another organ or in other form.1
