Anaemia is defined as a reduced hemoglobin concentration in blood below the lower limit of normal range, for the age and sex of individual. Normal hemoglobin level of new born at the time of birth is 14-22 %gm/dl, and in infant it is 9.5-13% gm/dl, normal adult hemoglobin lies between 13-16 % gm/dl in males, 11.5-15 % gm/dl in females. The aim of study is to compare Ferrum phos 6x and its combination with homeopathic medicine with the randomized controlled trial that homeopathy is somewhat worth for the treatment of anemia. So in this study the expected result was that the treatment of anemia with Ferrum phos 6x and Ferrum phos 6x along with homeopathic medicines will support in increasing HB level by 1 gm/dl.

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.

Emotional stress may be defined as response to a negative change in a child’s life but, excessive stress can affect the way a child thinks, act and feels. 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. Hence, emotional stress is prevalent condition in the studied population.

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.

Background: Anaemia in females of reproductive age are at high risk. Objective: The objective of this study is compare the effectiveness of Individualized Homoeopathic medicine along with Ferrum phos 6X and Lecithin 12C alone in treatment of anemia and secondary objective is to find out common causes of anemia. Materials and Methods: Comparative study was done for 6months and sample were taken from Motiwala Hospital OPD and Medical camps through Simple random Sampling technique 46 sample size were selected according to our inclusion criteria (females of 13 to 49 years of age, Hb ranging from 7 to 12gm/dl, patient who have given consent and who have fulfilled the criteria for questionnaire) and complete blood count was done. The sample were divided into two, Group A were given Individualized homoeopathic medicine along with Ferrum phos 6X and Ferrum phos 6X was repeated in every follow up. Group B was given Lecithin 12C and it was repeated in alternate follow up. After 6 follow ups again complete blood count was done and result were formed accordingly. Results: 135 patients were screened and out of which 46 sample size was selected, the calculated t value 2.20 significantly exceeds the table t value 2.02. Hence it was considered that the study is statistically significant. Among 46 cases of anemia, the most common cause was nutritional deficiency due to improper dietary intake (36 cases, 78.26%) followed by recurrent infection (5 cases, 10.87%), heavy menstrual bleeding (4 cases, 8.70%) and hemorrhoids (1 case, 2.17%).. Conclusion: Hence we concluded that both individualized homeopathic medicine with Ferrum phos 6X and Lecithin 12C are effective in treating anemia, but their impact is unequal. The combination of homeopathic medicine with Ferrum phos 6X showed significantly better improvement in anemia compared to Lecithin 12C.

Recurrent upper respiratory tract infections (URTIs) are highly prevalent among school-aged children and significantly impact health, attendance, and quality of life. This prospective case series assesses the effectiveness of individualized homeopathic treatment in reducing the severity of URTIs using the Jackson Scoring System. Forty-five children aged 5–15 years with recurrent URTIs were evaluated using Jackson scores before treatment and after a 6-month follow-up period. Individualized homeopathic remedies were prescribed based on symptom totality. Comparative analysis demonstrated a meaningful reduction in Jackson scores posttreatment, indicating improvement in URTI severity. The study suggests that individualized homeopathic medicine may provide symptomatic relief and decrease infection burden in children with recurrent URTIs.
