A Review Literature: A homoeopathic perspective in pre and post surgical treatment

Mahendra Dharua

Surgery represents conventional medicine at its best and its worst. On the one hand, surgery demonstrates incredibly sophisticated informational and technical advancement, yet on the other hand, it often indicates the inability of physicians and patients to prevent this invasive treatment of last resort. Like other health professionals, homeopaths honor the special role that surgery and surgeons have in health care. Homoeopaths are not against surgery, because certain conditions are simply not treatable without it. At the same time, however, surgery is often performed unnecessarily. It is performed when other, safer measures can be effectively used. It is performed too early when the body can sometimes heal itself. And it is performed inappropriately, primarily because surgeons only know surgery and don't know what else to do.

Coffea cruda substantially reduces toothache in Root canal treatment without local anesthesia

Gayatri Nimbhore, Kamlesh Bagmar, Vikas Kendre

Toothache is very common clinical condition seen in dental OPD in day to day practice. Treatment of toothache depends upon the cause and severity. Root canal therapy is one of the procedures used to treat the toothache. Use of local anesthesia during the procedure has several side effects. Local anesthetics are frequently administered in dentistry and thus can be expected to be a major source of drug-related complications in the dental office. Additionally, the dentist will more often be confronted with the treatment of risk patients; thus, the incidence of side effects can be expected to rise. Complications associated with the administration of the local anesthesia of all patients, 45.9% had at least one risk factor in their medical histories, with cardiovascular diseases and allergies being the most frequent. Additionally, doses of local anesthetics proved not to be strictly determined according to body weight, especially for patients weighing less than 50 kg.[1] To prevent these side effects of local anesthesia, homoeopathic medicines can be used to subside the pain during process of Root Canal Therapy (RCT). In this study, we tried Coffea cruda 30 a homoeopathic medicine in the cases of RCT to reduce pain.

Rita Kundu, Swanand Shukla, Varsha Dharne, Suhail Shaikh

Gastro- oesophageal reflux (GOR) is defined as backward flow of gastric contents into the oesophagus. A small amount of GOR occurs in normal individuals; the term GORD (gastro- oesophageal reflux disease) includes all the symptoms and forms of tissue damage secondary to the reflux of gastric contents into the oesophagus. Homoeopathic medicines are known for curative effect, by prevention of further complication by treating with homoeopathic medicines and doing necessary interventions Method- we carried out randomized control trial for the cases of Gastro Oesophageal Reflux disease for 30 cases. Natrum phos. along with homoeopathic medicine in experimental group and homoeopathic medicine control group. Conclusion- In qualitative study Natrum phos. is having good potential in cases of GORD but quantitative aspect of our study reflects Homoeopathic Medicine alone has good scope.
