Read through the different types of 'cases' that have been successfully treated by 'Homeopathic' treatment.

**Individualisation is the basis of selecting a Homeopathic remedy.

The remedies mentioned in some of the cases have been prescribed after a detailed case-study and hence should not be taken without consulting a homeopathic physician.

Case Summary

A 20 year old male consulted us for his acne which he had since the past 5-6 months. Every time after he shaved, the acne would increase in number on his face. They were mostly localised on the forehead and temples and never occurred on the cheeks. He was conscious about his skin because he felt that he didn't look good enough in comparison with others; also his friends passed comments about the same. As his appearance and image were of prime importance to him, he would go to the gymnasium regularly so that he did not put on weight like his other family members.

After a detailed interview, he was prescribed the homoeopathic remedy, Silica.

Follow-up

One Month

No new acne appeared since the beginning of treatment and the old ones greatly reduced in number.

Three Months

His face cleared even further and there were no new ones coming up too.

Six Months

As his skin was completely clear now, he was advised to stop medication.

Case Summary

On 20/10/08, a 58 yr. old Medical Doctor sought help for his suicidal depression that had creeped into his life for the past 2-3 months. He complained that he wasn't able to concentrate on his work/patients and had started becoming very forgetful. Nothing interested him as before. He wouldn't read news paper or watch television etc with interest anymore. However, he described that his main concern centered around his financial status. His depression began from the time his son, who is also an allopathic doctor, decided to leave his job which fetched him a fixed income and decided to venture into an independent medical practice for which the latter had taken some loan. This involved a considerable amount of money investment which made him anxious. His anxiety was that if all this money is not recovered, they would be in a miserable condition in future. Besides, the lack of concentration in his patients was another area of concern as it meant that his medical practice would decline and this in turn would again make it impossible for him to repay the loan. He had become so negative and pessimistic about almost everything that involved money. His sleep too had been affected and he slept only till 2-3 A.M. daily after which he would remain sleepless till dawn. His son got it to our notice that his father's anxiety was baseless as they were financially well-off and he was capable of repaying the loan that he had taken. But no amounting of reasoning could relieve his father's anguish.
After understanding his mental state he was given a homeopathic remedy to which he responded very well.

Follow-up

3/11/2008

There was a 20% improvement in him. He had started doing things that would interest him in the past like making things out of waste etc. He regained his appetite and could concentrate in his work much better. However, he still advised his son to consider continuing with his job for safety.

1/12/08

He improved substantially (about 70-80%). His appetite and sleep were much better. A feeling of well-being pervaded and he no longer had suicidal thoughts as before. More so, his anxiety of money too had drastically reduced.

9/1/09

He no longer felt depressed. He keenly attended to his work now. His speech was filled with renewed enthusiasm and felt that the loan that his son had taken could be easily managed.He was now ready too accept difficult challenges without any fear or anxiety.

Case Summary

A 48 yr. female consulted us for 'panic attacks' which she suffered from since quite some time. These spells of fear and anxiety would be accompanied by severe palpitations and result in sleeplessness. She conveyed that she felt weighed down by the responsibilities at her work. She also informed that it was she who would take up these responsibilities and would then fear that she would be a failure in fulfilling them; this would cause her to panic. The pressure of meeting the deadlines at her work place too would leave her nervous and anxious. These stresses would wake her up in the middle of the night with palpitations and terror.

Her mental make-up prompted the prescription of the homeopathic medicine 'Osmium'

Follow-up

Palpitations had stopped completely. She said that started feeling 'normal'. She no longer has those panic attacks and slept well too.

Three Months

No spells of panic any more. She was able to go ahead with her responsibilities with ease.

Case Summary

A male aged 25 years sought treatment for the multiple flat warts that he had since the past 4-5 years. They were primarily on his face with a few on his left hand. He had applied salicylic acid in the past only to find that the warts multiplied even further. After finding no relief of any kind with the conventional treatment, he was in search of an appropriate treatment for this uncommon variety of warts.

When we saw him for the first time, his forehead, temples and the front portion of his scalp was covered with multiple flat warts. He was unable to shave because the entire beard area too bore many similar warts. A detailed history revealed that his childhood and adolescence had been stressful because of economic problems.

After investigating his complaint as well as his life situation, he was given a suitable homoeopathic remedy.

Case Summary

A 34 yr old male saw us on 11/02/08 with the complaint of a big eczematous patch on his left leg, lateral to the shin. There was a watery discharge from it associated with immense itching at the site.

Besides this, another complaint that he had was involuntary passage of semen especially while straining for stool since the past 3 months or so. It was very troublesome as the semen escaped even when he had a telephonic conversation with his wife who stays away in another town. This caused tremendous weakness in him, both mentally and physically.

Case Summary

Mr. R.J, aged 43 years came to us with the complaint of severe rash on upper parts of the body from which he was suffering for 2 months. It was diagnosed by the dermatologist as 'photodermatitis'. He had developed a kind of sensitivity to sun whereby any exposure to sun caused severe rash on exposed parts. Hence he was advised to stay away from sun as far as possible or use some sun-screen lotion whenever he went in the sun. The patient informed us that he had tried all sorts of medicines and applications, which did give him some temporary relief but he didn't want to continue with those medications for a long time and therefore wanted homeopathic treatment for a permanent solution to his problem.

He told us that the rash is more pronounced on exposed parts of the body like neck, ears, face, upper chest, forearm and hands. The affected parts become very red and are extremely hot to touch. There is severe uncontrollable itching, particularly at night, which disturbed his sleep. Cool application (talcum powder, water or ice) would relieve him transiently. His complexion had darkened as a result of these rashes but the main cause of his worry was that it was spreading.

After a detailed history about his physical problems, we inquired about his mental state which is very important to understand in Homeopathy. To this he promptly revealed about the serious stress at work place that he was going through in the past few months. The targets set were steep and beyond the reach of any person. There was tremendous pressure to achieve them but owing to his over-committed nature, he had always been able to accomplish them. He had to motivate his subordinates and get the work done from them because if this was not done, the output would suffer and he would be finally held responsible for the failure of the given project. He was working under extreme pressure conditions.

Once this detailed history was available, he was prescribed a homeopathic remedy.

Follow Up

Two Months

There was no further spread of lesions. His itching showed a tremendous improvement. Although by and large the rash had faded, he would still burst into a mild rash in few spots when he ventured out in sun but the area affected had considerably reduced and the itching too was not as unbearable as before. Therefore he could now stay out in the sun even for a long time. He mentioned that he was less stressed at the work front and was feeling relaxed.

Six Months

He was much better than before and only had a rash when he had been out in a dry and hot place for long. The severity and frequency of his complaint had shown a remarkable decline. He no longer had to wear a full sleeve shirt all the time to cover his hands from sun.

Nine Months

No rashes anymore and is now able to go out in the sun without any fear of developing them

She would develop extensive hives that would last for many hours and would not be relieved even with anti-allergic drugs prescribed by her physician. Her entire body would break ino hives and become fiery red, swollen and itchy. It would get particularly worse at night and on waking in the morning. As a result of this, her face and eyes would be puffed up on waking. She was unable to wear tight clothing as she would immediately get urticaria at those sites where the clothes fitted her snugly.

In the course of the interview, she spoke that she was quite an outspoken person. Being extremely intolerant to injustice, she would retaliate immediately against it. If she knew she was right, she has to speak up and fight for it. Her anger used to be violent as a child but now had subdued.
