Difficulties in taking a Chronic Case

Case taking is a fundamental aspect of homoeopathic practice, as it enables the physician to understand the totality of symptoms and individual characteristics of the patient for accurate remedy selection. However, taking a chronic case often presents several challenges due to various patient-related, disease-related, and treatment-related factors. Many patients are influenced by modern medical systems that rely on diagnostic instruments and quick prescriptions, making them less accustomed to the detailed questioning required in homoeopathic case taking. Additionally, long-term use of allopathic medications may alter the original symptom picture by producing drug-induced symptoms, leading to complex disease conditions that make remedy selection difficult. Other difficulties include the progression of pathology where symptoms gradually diminish, incomplete patient history due to forgetfulness or modesty, exaggeration or suppression of symptoms, and patients becoming accustomed to long-standing complaints and therefore failing to report them. Periodic or alternating symptoms may also go unnoticed or unreported by patients, though they are often important in homoeopathic prescribing. Self-medication, use of complex homoeopathic formulations, and mixed miasmatic conditions further complicate case analysis. In certain chronic conditions, diseases may present with very few symptoms, referred to as one-sided diseases, making individualization difficult. Understanding these difficulties helps the homoeopathic physician to approach chronic case taking with greater patience, observation, and analytical skill, thereby improving the chances of accurate remedy selection and successful treatment.

Undernutrition denotes inadequate intake of energy and nutrients to meet an individual’s needs to maintain good health. Undernutrition is considered as a “silent emergency” according to UNICEF. It remains a persistent problem in the Indian population being responsible for nearly half of under-5 mortality. Undernutrition causes both short- and long-lasting effects in the form of recurrent infections and retarded physical and mental development. Loss of appetite is an important cause as well as consequence of undernutrition. Homeopathic Alfalfa tonic is used to improve appetite and aid weight gain in children suffering from undernutrition. The study was conducted to study whether Alfalfa tonic or homoeopathic indicated medicine is effective in the treatment of undernutrition.

As per the epidemiology, the orphan-hood condition is very much prevalent in the children deprived of parental support, love and affection. In the orphan house the individual attention is rare as other children are also housed at same place, thus it becomes important to study the emotional status of these children. In this study we would like to see the role of homoeopathic medicines in emotional status. Keywords – Emotional stress, Children s Emotional Management Scale, Homoeopathy. Objective- Primary objectives –To identify the effectiveness of homoeopathic medicines in the problem of emotional stress in the orphan children using scale. Secondary objectives –To assess the problems of emotional stress in children aged 5 to 15 years in the orphanage using the scale. Study Design – Prospective Case series. Materials and Method – 15 children from the Adharashram with emotional stress were recruited and followed up for minimum period of 6 months. Children’s Emotional Management Scale (CEMS) was used for the assessment of emotional status of the children. According to the screening criteria 15 students were selected for the study. Trained homoeopathic physician prescribed individualised homoeopathic similimum and again the patient were evaluated for the improvement of emotional status on CEMS. Result –After prescribing homoeopathic medicines in children having emotional stress, we found out that 87% of the cases are improved and 13% of the cases are not improved. N is equal to no. of cases (n=15), whereas d represents differences of pre and post score(d=134), d bar equals to sum of difference divided by no. of cases which came as=8.93, sum of difference(S) is root of pre and post score divided by no. cases minus one which came as 4.55. The SE of difference is dum of difference divided by root of no. of cases which came to be 1.17. Test statistics mean difference divided by SE, which is 7.63. Further our T value is greater than the table value of t (2.15). Hence, we accept the hypothesis that Homoeopathic medicines is effective in coping the emotional stress in orphan children of age group of 5-15 years. Conclusion – According to our study, homoeopathic medicines were effective in coping emotional stress in orphan children. The population under study were screened and it was found that 73% (anger – 20%, sadness- 6.6%, worry- 3%) of the children aged 5-15 years suffer from emotional stress in the orphanage, according to the CEMS scale.

As we know, skin is the mirror of the soul! This understanding forms the basis of homeopathic management of skin disorders. In modern medicine, warts are understood to be caused by an infection with the human papillomavirus. Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) under the Papillomavirus family are common agents for producing skin warts in adults; as well as in children, throughout the globe.

Warts come under sycosis miasm.The ultimate goal of every homoeopathic prescriber should be to achieve the cure by any mean but cure should always be based on the fundamentals of homoeopathy and regulations of organon of medicine. Objectives: To find out the commonest type of wart prevalent and to find out the common homoeopathic remedies prescribed for warts.
