Allergic Rhinitis Treated with Justicia Adhatoda Mother Tincture – A Case Report

Bhavesh Kumar Bisen — 2024-08-10

Allergic Rhinitis is an immunological inflammatory response of the nasal mucosa to airborne allergens. Although Allergic Rhinitis is not a life-threatening disease, its symptoms can be particularly bothersome and disruptive to a patient's sleep and overall quality of life. The coexistence of other allergic conditions, like Asthma, is very common. Unfortunately, no satisfactory treatment is available in modern medicine for this disease, prompting the need to search for satisfactory treatments available in other medical systems. We present a case of Allergic Rhinitis that was successfully treated with homeopathic medicines. Allergic Rhinitis is characterized by: Watery Nasal Discharge: Excessive secretion from the nasal passages, Nasal Obstruction: Blockage or congestion of the nasal passages, Nasal Mucosal Pallor: Pale appearance of the nasal lining, Sneezing: Frequent bouts of sneezing, especially when exposed to allergens, Itching: Itchiness in the eyes, palate, and pharynx. This case underscores the potential of homeopathic treatments to provide relief from the symptoms of Allergic Rhinitis and improve the patient's overall quality of life. Further research into alternative treatments like homeopathy is needed to offer more comprehensive and satisfactory solutions for patients suffering from Allergic Rhinitis. A 35-year-old male patient presented with complaints of sneezing (40 to 50 /day), rhinorrhea (watery discharge from nose), each nostril was partially blocked along with nasal itching feeling, loss of smell, cough with sneezing, heaviness in the forehead region, weakness, loss of concentration and hampering daily life activity for about 2 year. The patient's clinical findings and symptoms were suggestive of Allergic Rhinitis, which is of perennial type. According to Homoeopathy was done as Justicia Adhatoda mother tincture 15 drops (0.75 ml) in 30 ml of water twice daily before meals which falls under a safe dose as opined in Homoeopathic Materia Medica was given to the patient for 15 days. The patient experienced a reduction in all symptoms after 15 days. Allergy markers, such as the Absolute Eosinophil Count, decreased from 600 cells/cu mm to 250 cells/cu mm, and eosinophils in the CBC reduced to 3 %. The primary complaint of sneezing significantly diminished after completing the treatment.

A Role Of Ferrum Phos 6x In Iron Deficiency Anemia for Females (14-45 Years) Under Iron Supplementation

Dr. Khyati Prakash — 2024-10-11

Iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) is a prevalent condition among females, particularly those aged 14-45 years, due to menstruation, pregnancy, and other physiological factors that increase iron demand. Traditional iron supplementation is the cornerstone of treatment for IDA; however, it is often associated with side effects such as gastrointestinal discomfort and poor patient compliance. This review explores the potential adjunctive role of Ferrum Phosphoricum 6X (Ferrum Phos 6X), a biochemic tissue salt in homeopathy, in the management of iron deficiency anaemia in females under iron supplementation. Ferrum Phos 6X is believed to enhance the body’s ability to utilize iron more effectively, thereby supporting the hematopoietic process and improving symptoms of anaemia. The review analyses various studies and clinical trials that investigate the efficacy of Ferrum Phos 6X in conjunction with conventional iron therapy. By examining the biochemical mechanisms of Ferrum Phos 6X, its impact on haemoglobin levels, red blood cell count, and overall patient well-being, this review aims to assess whether it can serve as a complementary therapy in the treatment of IDA. The paper also addresses the safety profile of Ferrum Phos 6X, highlighting its non-toxic nature and minimal side effects, making it a potentially valuable option for patients who struggle with the adverse effects of conventional iron supplements. The use of Ferrum Phos 6X may also provide an alternative for patients who prefer natural or homeopathic remedies alongside standard medical treatments. While traditional iron supplementation remains essential for the treatment of IDA, Ferrum Phos 6X could offer additional benefits by improving iron absorption and utilization, enhancing patient outcomes, and reducing the side effects associated with iron therapy. Further research and larger clinical trials are necessary to validate these findings and establish standardized treatment protocols incorporating Ferrum Phos 6X for managing iron deficiency anaemia in women. This review contributes to the ongoing discourse on integrative approaches to healthcare by evaluating the role of homeopathic interventions in the management of chronic conditions like iron deficiency anaemia.

Exploring Insomnia and Homeopathic Interventions - An Analytical Overview

Dr. Vinay Kumar Yadav — 2024-10-26

Insomnia is a common sleep disorder that impairs a person's ability to start and maintain sleep, stay asleep without the restorative effects, or wake up too early in the morning. The disorder affects both individual and group dynamics, presenting a challenge that requires resolution. Globally, at least one out of ten people is already sleep-deprived, which is a matter of concern, while two-thirds of people with chronic illness suffer from one or other form of insomnia. The effects have been widespread and negative, especially in the physical and psychosocial domains, professional and everyday interactions, and life quality satisfaction. The most common approaches and modalities used to treat insomnia, which includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), or pharmacologic management methods return some relief. However, the modalities also have some limitations such as availability, adverse effects, addiction potential, and long-term efficacy. Thus, it is not a surprise that many seek options other than those incumbent and offer CAM practices including homeopathic treatment modalities. Treatments of homeopathy also defy the years people have practiced it for about two hundred years. It works in both basic principles of medicine which is the law of similarity that is "What a substance induces in a healthy person, it can remedy in a sick person." and the law of dynamics, where medicines are used in using a minimal quantity of the substance to tap into the self-healing abilities of the person. This method also takes into account the physical, emotional, and mental state of the person who gets confronted with health problems. This review of intelligence must adhere to a rigorous methodology, thoroughly examining the areas under consideration, anticipating any potential surprises, and incorporating both conventional and alternative approaches that challenge these assumptions..
