Individualization is a process in homeopathy where an individual is separated from other people (depending on his physical and mental symptoms) suffering from the same pathology.

Suppose three people in a family are suffering from viral fever with common symptoms of viral fever with chills followed by perspiration followed by coldness of the body.

So these symptoms help to diagnose the disease. But in homeopathy, we say that every individual is different from others and the selection of the remedy should be based on his unique symptoms.

Out of these three people suffering from viral fever in the same family, one is thirsty, other is thirstless. The first one is irritable and the third one experiences a lot of fears. One wants to be alone and the other needs company!

So people suffering the same pathology have different symptoms of mind and body and remedy is selected based on these uncommon symptoms.

This is called “individualization”.
