An Integrative Perspective on the Management of Knee Osteoarthritis: A Comprehensive Review
type: item
description: Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic, progressive, degenerative joint disorder and a major cause of pain, disability, and reduced quality of life among adults and the elderly. While conventional management primarily focuses on symptom relief, there is increasing interest in complementary and integrative approaches, including homoeopathy. This review evaluates the pathophysiology, clinical features, and standard management of knee OA and critically examines the role of homoeopathic treatment based on available clinical studies, observational research, systematic reviews, and classical homoeopathic literature. Evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs), feasibility trials, observational studies, and institutional reports suggests that individualised homoeopathy, as well as specific remedies such as Rhus Toxicodendron, may reduce pain, improve joint function, and enhance activities of daily living. However, the findings are limited by sample size, heterogeneity in methodology, and the need for larger, well-designed RCTs. This review highlights current evidence, strengths, limitations, and future research priorities for integrating homoeopathy into comprehensive OA management.

Homeopathic Treatment of Gall Bladder Polyp with Comorbidities: A Case Series
type: item
description: Background: Gallbladder polyps are usually asymptomatic abnormal growths of tissue protruding from the inner mucous lining of the gallbladder and are often detected incidentally in imaging studies done for other reasons. The only available treatment so far is the surgical removal of the gall bladder. This case series explores the potential role of individualized homeopathic medicines in treatment of asymptomatic gall bladder polyp with comorbidities. Material and methods: Four cases of asymptomatic gallbladder polyp patients who were advised cholecystectomy and were having different comorbidities such as PCOS, nabothian cyst and hypothyroidism in first, muscular pain and hypothyroidism in second, uterine fibroid in third, tinea infection and ovarian cyst in fourth case respectively were treated with homeopathic medicines selected on holistic basis and followed up with clinical and ultrasonographic evidence. Patient-rated ‘Outcome in Relation to Impact on Daily Living’-ORIDL tool was used to evaluate the patient at every follow-up. Further, the ‘Modified Naranjo Criteria for Homeopathy’- MONARCH scoring was done to ascertain a positive causal attribution in disappearance of gall bladder polyp on imaging with homoeopathic treatment. Result: Complete remission of gall bladder polyp was observed in all four patients, as confirmed through ultrasonographic evidence. The patients improved in 4 to 9 months of treatment by Natrum muriaticum and Nux vomica. Post treatment ORIDL score for subjective and objective changes in all the 4 cases was +4, which signifies that patient had returned to normal condition in both aspects. The ‘Modified Naranjo Criteria for Homeopathy’(MONARCH) scoring came out +8 in all the 4 cases indicating a positive causal attribution of Homeopathy. Conclusion: There is no specific drug for gall bladder polyp. The case series presented here provides positive and encouraging evidence on the scope of individualized homeopathic treatment of gall bladder po…

Assessing The Impact of Homoeopathic Medicines on Metabolic Syndrome Parameters: A Prospective Study
type: item
description: Background: Metabolic syndrome is a group of conditions that occurs together predisposing one to develop diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular complications. The major features of the Metabolic Syndrome are central obesity, hyperglycaemia, hypertriglyceridemia, low levels of high HDL-C and hypertension. Studies related to the efficacy of homoeopathy in Metabolic Syndrome are limited. Objective: To study the utility of homoeopathic medicines in Metabolic Syndrome Methods: A prospective clinical study was conducted at the outpatient department of Government Homeopathic Medical College, Kozhikode, using a one-group before-and-after design. The assessment was based on the change in total score before and after treatment, and the statistical test used was a paired t-test. Results: Among the subjects with Metabolic syndrome, both sexes showed equal preponderance. The highest prevalence of Metabolic syndrome was noted in the age group 50- 60 years. A majority of patients had a family history of diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease, indicating the possibility of hereditary influence. The study showed a significant difference in the total scores of assessment parameters before and after treatment of Metabolic syndrome with homoeopathic medicines. Additionally, more than 50% of subjects with metabolic syndrome had non alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), supporting the idea that NAFLD is the hepatic manifestation of Metabolic syndrome. Conclusion: Based on this study, homoeopathic medicines were found to be useful in managing Metabolic syndrome.

Homoeopathy and Exfoliative Dermatitis: An Evidence-Based Clinical Case Report of Exfoliative Dermatitis
type: item
description: Exfoliative dermatitis, also known as Erythroderma, is a severe and life-threatening condition that presents with diffuse erythema & scaling of the skin. It is one the uncommon skin disease conditions affecting both males & females and almost all age groups. Therapies like corticosteroids, anti-histamines & immunosuppressant/immunomodulatory medications are generally used to treat exfoliative dermatitis. However, these therapies only give symptomatic relief, not permanent disease improvement. In homoeopathy, there is a lot of literature regarding treating different skin diseases, such as exfoliative dermatitis. This article illustrates a documented case report of a patient with exfoliative dermatitis. In this particular case, exfoliative dermatitis condition is treated by Sulphur, based on the constitutional totality of the patient. The improvement was documented by proper treatment interpretation and photographic evidence during follow-up.[1]

Harnessing the Power of Homoeopathy to Alleviate the Side Effects of Conventional Medicine
type: item
description: I am honoured to contribute this letter to emphasize the significant role that homoeopathy can play in managing the adverse effects of conventional medical treatments. While allopathic medicine has undoubtedly transformed modern healthcare with its advanced diagnostics and life-saving interventions, its side effects remain a substantial challenge. From gastrointestinal distress and fatigue to emotional and neurological disturbances, the burden of drug-induced symptoms often compromises the overall well-being of patients. In such scenarios, homoeopathy emerges as a safe, effective, and holistic solution. Dr. Samuel Hahnemann’s doctrine of “Similia Similibus Curentur” — like cures like — forms the foundation of homoeopathy. By administering highly diluted, potentized remedies that mimic the symptoms of illness, homoeopathy gently stimulates the body’s innate healing capacity. This individualized approach has shown promising results in alleviating the side effects of pharmaceuticals without further toxicity. For instance, Nux Vomica is widely recognized for its efficacy in treating the effects of overmedication, including headaches, nausea, and digestive disturbances. Similarly, Lycopodium and Carbo Vegetabilis offer relief from medication-induced bloating, acidity, and flatulence.

Homoeopathic Perspectives on the Pathophysiology and Treatment of Skin Aging
type: item
description: The skin is one of the largest and most important organs in the body and comprises approximately 16% of the human body weight. It has a number of physiological functions that are essential to maintaining homeostasis, protection and social interaction. Protection, thermoregulation, sensation, water storage, absorption, expression, synthesis of vitamin D. The skin is the main interface between the individual and the environment. It therefore has essential physiological functions which allow the individual to live safely, even under changing external conditions which might pose potential threats. The skin has 3 layers—the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis, which have different anatomical structures and functions. The epidermis is derived from ectodermal tissue. The dermis and hypodermis are derived from mesodermal tissue. Nerves of the skin include both somatic and autonomic nerves. The somatic sensory system transmits pain (nociception), temperature, light touch, discriminative touch, vibration, pressure, and proprioception sensations to the central nervous system. Autonomic innervation controls vasculature tone, hair root pilomotor stimulation, and sweating. The free nerve endings extend into the epidermis and are responsible for sensing pain, heat, and cold.

A Prospective Observational Study to Evaluate The Effectiveness of Individualized Homoeopathic Medicines in Chronic Lumbago
type: item
description: Background: In today’s world, lumbago is one of the most prevalent and debilitating diseases. It is a disease condition, which is statistically recorded to seek medical attention second only to common cold. It mainly affects muscles, nerves and bones of the back in between the bottom fold of the buttocks and lower edge of the ribs. Globally, lumbago has been ranked 13th in disability adjusted life-years in the year 2010. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and paracetamol both significantly lessen the pain. However, they shouldn't be used for an extended time duration. Lumbago is extremely hard to manage and there is still no cure. Surgery is advised as the last measure although it is usually unnecessary and rarely succeeds in offering long term relief. The objective of the study was to assess the role of individualized homoeopathic medicines in the cases of chronic lumbago by using oswestry disability index. Study Design is Prospective Observational Study. Methodology: 44 cases of chronic lumbago were treated with Individualized Homoeopathic medicines which were prescribed on the basis of totality of the symptoms. Dose and potency selection was done according to the guidelines given by Dr. Hahnemann in the 5th edition of Organon of medicine. Follow ups of the cases were taken at an interval of 15 days upto 3 months with minimum 6 follow ups. The treatment outcome was assessed by using Oswestry Disability Index after three months of treatment. Results: Out of 44 patients maximum patients showed Improvement (n=35; 79.54%) followed by Status Quo (n=8; 18.18%) and Worse (n=1; 2.27%). Maximum patients were found to be in the age group of 36 to 45 years (n=13; 29.54%) and females (n=30; 68.19%) were more commonly affected than males (n=14; 31.81%). Frequently prescribed medicines were Natrium Muriaticum, Phosphorus and Lycopodium Clavatum. Paired t-test was conducted on the Oswestry Disability Index. The result showed that p value is < 0.05 & value of t (15.11…

The Global Dominance of English Language in Homeopathic Research: A Double-Edged Sword
type: item
description: The English language has many positive aspects, such as its wide acceptance, its reputation as an academic language, and the ability to offer a broad array of literature in digital and print formats. Overall, like many other disciplines, there are various advantages to the widespread use of English in global collaboration and research dissemination in homeopathy as it enhances the reach and credibility of the discipline and equality. The English language's wide adoption contributes to offering a global forum for the exchange of innovative concepts and scientific discoveries, which can promote a more diverse and robust international research environment in Homoeopathy. Conversely, it is imperative to acknowledge and tackle the constraints, difficulties, and possible prejudices that come with using of the English language. The predominance of English may suggest that studies conducted in countries where the language is not spoken have been overlooked, which could result in a bias and a gap in scientific understanding.

Addressing Obesity Through Homeopathy
type: item
description: The word ‘Obesity’ came from Latin word; where the verb ‘obedere’ means ‘over eat’ and ‘obesitas’ means ‘being very fat’. Obesity is a health condition in which the natural energy stored, reserved in the fatty tissue of human beings, is increased to that point where it is linked with certain health issues. It can be defined in relative or absolute terms. Practically, it is evaluated in absolute terms by measuring BMI (body mass index), but also in terms of its distribution through waist circumference or waist-hip circumference ratio measurements. The normal amount of body fat (expressed as percentage of body fat) is between 26-30% in female and 19-24% in male. Female with over 30% body fat and male with over 25% body fat are considered as obese. Women of reproductive age have higher rates of overweight and obesity and are more adversely affected by obesity-related complications than men. This gender difference is mainly due to general weight gain during childbearing years, gestational weight gain and weight retention, adverse lifestyle, or risk factors associated with pregnancy and the postpartum period. Maternal obesity increases the risk of numerous complications including pregnancy, labour and birth for both the mother and the child, diabetes and hypertensive disorders etc. Compared with normal weight, maternal overweight is associated with a higher risk of caesarean delivery and a higher incidence of anaesthetic and postoperative complications. Low Apgar scores, macrosomia and neural tube defects are also more frequent in infants of obese mothers compared with infants of normal weight mothers. Obesity may be caused by a number of social, cultural, behavioral, physiological, metabolic, and genetic factors that are beyond the person's control. Obesity is most commonly caused by a combination of excessive food energy intake, lack of physical activity, and genetic susceptibility, although a few cases are caused primarily by genes, endocrine disorders, medications or…

Restoring Hair Growth with Individualized Homeopathic Treatment: A Case Report on Alopecia Areata
type: item
description: Alopecia areata, commonly known as spot baldness, is a condition where hair loss occurs in small, circular patches on the scalp or other areas of the body. This autoimmune disorder affects approximately 1-2% of the global population and can develop at any age [1]. Typically, it results in coin-sized bald spots on the scalp, but the condition's course is unpredictable, leading to various forms such as alopecia totalis, alopecia universalis, and ophiasis. Although it is an autoimmune condition, traditional medical treatments often lead to relapses and come with potential side effects. This case involved a 15-year-old female patient who sought treatment at the National Institute of Homoeopathy (N.I.H) outpatient department (OPD) for alopecia areata. The patient underwent individualized homeopathic treatment for seven months, resulting in a complete recovery without any adverse effects. Throughout the treatment process, both the MONARCH score and objective clinical evidence demonstrated significant improvement, confirming the effectiveness of homeopathic treatment. The individualized selection of homeopathic remedies, based on the totality of the patient's symptoms, proved to be a valuable approach in achieving successful outcomes. This case report highlights the potential of homeopathy in managing alopecia areata, particularly in cases where conventional treatments may fail to provide consistent results or cause unwanted side effects. The positive response observed in this patient supports the role of homeopathy as a promising therapeutic option for this challenging condition
