      ab: Disease suppression, while often perceived as symptomatic relief, can alter the natural course of pathology and lead to deeper systematic disturbances. Suppression may occur through inappropriate or prolonged use of topical, palliative or allopathic treatments that eliminate local manifestations but fail to address the root cause of disease. In this, reviews the concept of suppression as discussed in homoeopathic literature and presents a case report where apparent relief of local symptoms through suppressive measures led to systematic aggravation. This finding underlines the importance of holistic approaches in management, where disease expression is understood as a necessary outlet rather than an inconvenience to be silenced.
