Dr.Sonali Dhote, Dr. Sarang Rahalkar, Dr. Aditi Kale

Generalized Anxiety Disorder is excessive anxiety and worry about several events or activities for most of the days during at least a 6-month period. GAD remains the least studied anxiety disorder. There is need for prompt recognition and effective treatment, as the disability in GAD can be transient and improve once adequate treatment is given. Homeopathy is a holistic system of medicine. Homeopathy psychology-counselling go hand in hand. In homoeopathy rubrics are an assessment tool, and in synthesis repertory 9.0, there are many rubrics which are related to GAD that will help us in selection of remedies for the management of the same.

A comparative study on effectiveness of Individualized Homoeopathic Medicine versus Bacillus no. “7”- The Bowel Nosode in cases of Gout

Dr.Gayatri Nimbhore, Dr.Subhash Yadav, Dr.Ajay Valke, Dr.Smitha Nair, Dr.Sonali Rohom, Dr.Farahnaz Shaikh, Simran Waswani, Shivani Jadhav, Tanaya Madke

Gout, a form of inflammatory arthritis, poses significant challenges in its management due to limited efficacy and adverse effects associated with conventional therapies. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of Bacillus no.7, a probiotic agent, and individualized homeopathic medicine in the treatment of gout. A comparative interventional study was conducted on 46 patients diagnosed with gout, systematically assigned to two groups: Group A receiving individualized homeopathic medicine , Group B receiving Bacillus no. 7. ACR EULAR Criteria was utililized for screening the potential patients of gout.The primary outcome measures serum uric acid levels, assessed at baseline and follow-up visits over a period of 6 months. Secondary outcomes encompassed reduction in intensity of pain (using NPRS). Statistical analysis revealed significant improvements in pain intensity and serum uric acid levels in both intervention groups. However, significant difference was observed between Bacillus no.7 and individualized homeopathic medicine groups in terms of efficacy. Furthermore, both interventions demonstrated a favorable safety profile with minimal adverse effects. Overall, our findings suggests that individualized homeopathic medicine may offer promising alternative therapeutic options for managing gout as compared to Bacillus no.7, warranting further investigation into their mechanisms of action and long-term effects.[1][4]

Dr. G.B. Prasad, Dr. Manisha Ahiwalay, Dr. Varsha Dharane, Dr. Ashwini Aher, Dr. Asha Bhosale, Dr. Natasha Dewani

Hyperuricemia is a metabolic disorder in which serum uric acid level elevate above 7.0 mg/dl in men and 5.7 mg/dl in female. Hyperuricemia is results from increased uric acid production, decreased excretion, or a combination of both processes. This study was carried out with the objective to see the comparison between the effect of individualized Homeopathic medicine and colchicum autuamnale 30 in reducing the serum uric acid level .Materials and methods: - 46 patients with raised serum uric acid were selected on the basis on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Serum uric acid level was estimated before the study and at the end of 6th follow up. Result:-. According to Unpaired ‘t’ Test Null Hypothesis is accepted as calculated ‘t’ value 0.753621753 is smaller than table value 2.02 at 0.05 l.o.s. Unpaired ‘t’ test reflects that there is no difference in effectiveness of Colchicum autumnale 30 and Individualized Homoeopathic Medicine in cases of Hyperuricemia. Pair t test was applied for Group A whose calculated value is 13.0161995 l.o.s (table t value 2.07). This represents colchicum is effective in reducing Hyperuricemia. The most frequently prescribed Homoeopathic medicines were Natrum mur(5), Rhus tox(3), Bryonia alba(3) , Arsenic album(2) & Lycopodium(2). Maximum cases of Hyperuricemia were observed in females (57%) than males (43%).Conclusion:- Colchicum autumnale 30 and Individualized Homeopathic medicines are effective in reducing serum uric acid level along with associated symptoms.

Exploring Homeopathic therapeutics for Intermittent Fever in the MonsoonSeason a: A Comprehensive Discussion

Dr. Virendra Jain, Dr. Pranjal Patil, Dr. Sheetal Kumawat

The monsoon season is often associated with a higher incidence of intermittent fever because of wet weather and environment, presenting a challenge for timely and effective treatment. Homeopathy offers a viable approach for managing these fevers with minimal delay and without side effects. This research explores various homeopathic remedies that have proven effective in treating intermittent fever over the years. Successful management of this condition requires a thorough understanding of the disease, homeopathic medicines, and the principles of organon. Additionally, a comprehension of miasms, Similimum that follows after totality of symptoms, and posology is crucial for providing swift and safe recovery. This study aims to highlight the efficacy of homeopathic treatment and the essential knowledge required for their successful application as per our clinical experience of the current monsoon of 2024.

Liver diseases diagnosed as Liver cirrhosis with Homoeopathic Treatment: A Case Report

Dr. Virendra Jain, Dr. Sheetal Kumawat, Dr. Pranjal Patil

Liver diseases, including non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and cirrhosis, are prevalent globally and can arise from various etiologies such as obesity, excessive alcohol consumption, hepatitis infections, autoimmune disorders, cholestatic conditions, and metabolic overloads of iron or copper. Liver cirrhosis, characterized by the formation of regenerative nodules surrounded by fibrous bands and progressive hepatic dysfunction, often leads to severe complications such as variceal bleeding, portal hypertension, and coagulopathy. Traditional management typically involves addressing these complications through conventional medical approaches. This case report presents the management of a patient with liver cirrhosis and its complications using a homeopathic treatment approach. By focusing on the totality of symptoms rather than isolated manifestations, homeopathic treatment aims to address the underlying imbalance and promote overall health. The report highlights the therapeutic process, patient response, and outcomes, providing insights into the potential role of homeopathy in managing complex liver cirrhosis cases.

A Literature Review on Fibromyalgia with its Homoeopathic Management

Dr. MohiniGhanghas

Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic primary pain syndrome characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, sleep disturbances, cognitive dysfunction, and psychological distress. It is classified under ICD-11 as nociplastic pain and represents the second most common rheumatic disorder. The condition often coexists with other chronic overlapping pain syndromes such as irritable bowel syndrome, temporomandibular disorder, and chronic headache, implicating central nervous system dysregulation in its pathophysiology. Diagnosis relies on the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria, revised in 2016, which emphasize the Widespread Pain Index (WPI) and Symptom Severity Score (SSS). Conventional management includes analgesics, antidepressants, and muscle relaxants, though these are associated with significant side effects. Homoeopathy offers individualized treatment options, with studies demonstrating improvements in pain, tender point count, quality of life, and mood. Remedies such as Rhus toxicodendron, Arnica, Cimicifuga, Bryonia, Ruta, Kali carbonicum, Kalmia, and Gelsemium are highlighted for their efficacy in addressing fibromyalgia symptoms. This review underscores the importance of holistic management approaches, integrating homoeopathy to improve functional outcomes and patient well-being.
