F.F.Motiwala .F.Motiwala, Shubhash Yadav, Mita Gharte, Aishwarya Ghoderao, Yogesh Jadhav

Objective: 1.This study was done to find time required for fracture healing in patients receiving conventional line of treatment by radiographical study and time required for healing in patient receiving symphytum officinale 30C along with conventional line of treatment by radiographical study. Material and Method: A Randomized Control Trial to explore the Effectiveness of Symphytum Officinale as an osteogenesis enhancer in undisplaced fracture was conducted at Motiwala Homoeopathic Medical College and Hospital, for a period of six months. Thirty cases of un-displaced fracture based on radiological examination were selected as per the inclusion criteria using simple randomization technique. Symphytum officinale 30C was prescribed in study group along with conventional line of treatment and the control group received only conventional line of treatment. X-ray was taken on 21st day and 45th day. The data was analyzed. Results: Study group consist of 15 patients in whom 3 cases showed early callus formation and 12 cases showed good callus formation in 21 days. Control group consist of 15 patient in which 8 cases showed good callus formation and 7 cases showed no callus formation in 21 days. Conclusion: The study conducted has explored the osteogenietic property of Homoeopathic remedy, Symphytum officinale has proved to promote calcification as early as 21st day in study group. Thus symphytum is an effective osteogenetic enhancer in undisplaced fractures, and can be an adjuvant to conventional line of treatment. More rigorous studies with large sample size are however desirable.

Effect of Homeopathy in Reflux Diseases in Pediatrics

Dr. Nikhita Khandare

Gastroesophageal reflux is a common condition in infants and young children that often leads to persistent crying, regurgitation, and feeding difficulties. This article discusses the role of homeopathy in managing reflux diseases in pediatric patients. Reflux occurs when stomach contents flow back into the esophagus, sometimes resulting in complications such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The condition may manifest through symptoms such as vomiting, irritability, poor feeding, and in some cases silent reflux where vomiting is not visibly present. The paper highlights the importance of ruling out serious medical conditions before initiating treatment and emphasizes supportive care for parents coping with the stress of caring for a constantly crying infant. It also explores possible contributing factors such as lactose intolerance and poor gut health, recommending dietary adjustments and probiotics as supportive measures. The article further presents several homeopathic remedies including Natrum Phos, Magnesium Phos, Aethusia, Phosphorus, Lycopodium, Silicea, Kali Carb, and Bryonia, which are selected based on the individual symptoms of the child. These remedies are suggested to help neutralize stomach acid, relieve digestive discomfort, and improve overall gastrointestinal function. The study emphasizes individualized treatment and holistic management to provide relief to infants suffering from reflux while also supporting parental well-being.

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome

Dr. Dhanashree Kulkarni

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common and complex endocrine disorders affecting women of reproductive age. The condition is characterized by hormonal imbalance, chronic anovulation, and excessive androgen production, which interfere with normal ovarian follicle development and lead to the formation of multiple ovarian cysts. The prevalence of PCOS is estimated to be around 5–10% among women aged 15–35 years. The exact etiology remains unclear, although genetic predisposition, insulin resistance, lifestyle factors, and hormonal disturbances are considered major contributing factors. Common clinical manifestations include irregular menstruation, infertility, obesity, hirsutism, acne, and metabolic complications such as insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Conventional treatment mainly focuses on symptomatic management through hormonal therapy, lifestyle modification, and fertility treatments. Homoeopathy approaches PCOS from a holistic perspective by considering the individual as a whole rather than focusing solely on the disease. Psychological, physical, and constitutional factors are evaluated to select an individualized remedy based on the principles of “similia similibus curentur” and the law of individualization. The homoeopathic approach also considers miasmatic influences and constitutional susceptibility in disease development. By addressing the root cause and restoring the balance of the vital force, homoeopathic treatment aims to provide a safe, gentle, and long-lasting therapeutic approach in the management of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome.
