Chronic diseases are the disease that persists over a long period of time. Homoeopathy is known for curing chronic diseases from the roots and the basic principles on which it is founded have to be really followed for rational healing and curing. Hahnemann, the founder after having failed in curing several chronic cases, analytically and with a logical mind came to understand the reasons that were acting as obstacles in the process of cure of relapsing conditions and gave the world this theory of chronic diseases in the form of the book describe in detail their peculiar nature and cure.

Chronic disease can hinder independence and the health of people with disabilities, as it may create additional activity limitations. People with chronic disease often think they are free from the disease when they have no symptoms.
In Aphorism 72 of organon of medicine, Dr. Christian Friedrich Samuel Hahnemann defines chronic disease as “ they are those diseases which begin with small, often imperceptible way, dynamically deranging the living organism, each i8n its own peculiar manner, causing gradually to deviate from healthy conditions. At the commencement of the disease the vital force opposes but during progress, the resistance of vital force is imperfect, unsuitable, and useless and cannot extinguish the disease itself without the help of the specific remedy, but suffer until at length the organism is destroyed and these are called chronic diseases.”
They are generally caused by dynamic infection with chronic miasms.
Chronic disease is a disease that arises from chronic miasm having the following characteristics:
1. Gradual, insidious, imperceptible beginning.
2. Unlimited lifelong suffering.
3. Is not extinguished by vital force alone.
4. No tendency to decline or recovery, may continue through next generations unless treate4d by Homoeopathically.
5. Destroys the organism in the long run if untreated.
