Recurrent aphthous ulcer (RAU) is one of the most common painful oral mucosal conditions affecting a significant proportion of the population. The prevalence of aphthous ulcers is reported to be high worldwide, with studies indicating a prevalence of about 25% globally and approximately 50.3% in India. The condition is characterized by recurrent, painful ulcerations of the oral mucosa which may affect eating, speaking, and overall quality of life. Several predisposing factors such as stress, spicy food intake, gastric disturbances, lack of sleep, mechanical injury, and inadequate water intake have been associated with the occurrence of recurrent aphthous ulcers. The present study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of the homoeopathic medicine Borax Veneta 30C in the management of recurrent aphthous ulcers in patients aged between 10 and 30 years of both sexes. This study was designed as a non-randomized, without control trial using a before and after study method. A total of 45 patients suffering from recurrent aphthous ulcers were selected from the outpatient department of MHMC based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. The study duration was six months and the effectiveness of the remedy was assessed using subjective and objective parameters such as intensity of pain measured through the Visual Analogue Scale, number of ulcers, recurrence of ulcers, and inflammatory signs. After administration of Borax Veneta 30C and follow-up observations, the results showed improvement in 32 patients (71.11%), whereas 13 patients (28.89%) showed no significant improvement. The analysis also indicated that stress was the most common predisposing factor for recurrent aphthous ulcers among the studied cases. The findings suggest that Borax Veneta 30C may be effective in reducing the intensity and recurrence of aphthous ulcers in a considerable number of patients. However, further controlled clinical studies with larger sample sizes are recommended to establish the therapeutic effectiveness of this remedy more conclusively.

As there is no precise guide lines, it is now a everyday practice for students to spend most of their time (8 to 12 hours/day) dealing with E-classes in front of computer or mobile screens. Over past few months due to COVID-19 lockdown, our society has been in indoor settings where the education, work and entertainment are through digital platform. This created an increase in rate of digital eye strain. It is an emerging global problem; enhancing proficiency over this will be considerable asset to community as well employing use of homeopathic medicine Ruta graveolens perceiving its utility in digital vision syndrome through case series study with sample size 46 cases. Based on study from 46 patients, 45(97.82%) patients were improving, and 1(2.18%) patient was improved. The mean score of Symptom index form scale at the beginning of the study was 19.95 & after treatment mean score was 6.86. Ruta 30CH is effective in cases of Digital Vision Syndrome. From the study we observed that Quality of life of patient was improved.

Migraine is a neurological disease which usually causes a pulsating, throbbing headache on one side of the head. The pain may be extremely bad and hurt so much that a person may have a hard time following his routine. Not every person who is diagnosed with migrane suffers with headache. There are different kinds of migraines, and some do not cause a headache but do have symptoms. Most migraines cause headache and nausea and might make the person dizzy or very sensitive to bright lights or loud noises. Some people have "auras" before a migraine starts, which means their vision becomes different. Patients may see funny patterns, have blurry vision, or may not be able to see at all. Other senses can change before or during a migraine, and the patient may sense funny smells or tastes. Migraines can last for a long time. Migraines usually last between four and 72 hours. Modern medicine doesn’t know the cause of onset of this disorder hence cannot figure out a curative treatment for the same. Objectives: To improve the quality of life of patients suffering from migraine after homoeopathic prescription and to study the efficacy of homoeopathic medicines in cases of migraine. Materials and methods: The study is a case series was carried out in 45 patients within the age group of 15 to 60 years suffering from migraine fitting the inclusion criteria were prescribed individualized homoeopathic medicines for migraine and followed for a period of 6 months. The outcome assessment was done by scores before and after treatment. Result: At the end of the study it was observed that out of 45 patients, 37 patients improved (82%). The average age of the patients taken into consideration was 28.9 which is mostly the age where people are at their peak of career and need to be as productive as possible. Migraine limits their productivity to a great extent, usually more than 50%. Out of the 45 cases studied, only 12 were males (27%) and 33 patients were females (73%), hence the prevalence was more in females than males. The commonest used medicines were Natrum mur, Ignitia, Pulsatilla, Nux vomica and Arsenic album. Conclusion: There is a broad scope of homoeopathy in the treatment of migraine in improvement of quality of life by reducing the intensity, duration, and frequency of episodes.

‘Drug Proving' is a method, unique to Homoeopathy where the pathogenesis of a drug is evolved through its trials on apparently Healthy Human Provers. Drug proving is the process of acquiring knowledge of instruments intended for the cure of natural disease (Aphorism - 105)5 Objective: To find out the pathogenetic effects of an Araucaria Columnaris on healthy human beings. Methodology: Randomised double blind placebo controlled study. It is recommended to have at least 50 provers who can complete the total duration. The provers divided into 2 group one medicinal group (Araucaria Columnaris) which consist 25 provers and another placebo group with 25 provers. Record were maintained of both group, then the analysis was done and characteristic symptoms of Araucaria Columnaris were identified. Result:Since only one prover from medicinal group experienced symptom out of 25 provers. Therefore, we rejected alternate hypothesis. Conclusion: As only 2 provers showed few symptoms, from which one prover was from placebo group and another one was from medicinal group which experienced few symptoms which were not so prominent to be considered as pathogenic symptoms of Araucaria columnaris 3X. So we concluded that Araucaria columnaris 3X does not give pathogenic symptoms on healthy human being of both sexes.

Increased incidences of myopia, especially in Asian countries, have been attributed to excess near work. Topical use of Atropine was effective in controlling myopia but has got side effects and rebound effects after stopping the treatment. Myopia treatment has come a long way from glasses/contact lenses to advanced minimally invasive refractive procedures and tremendous improvement in technology and increased dependence on digital devices, control of myopia progression remains a big challenge. Homoeopathy mentions Ruta graveolens (Ruta) 30 for myopia with its action on accommodation. Aim: The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of Ruta Graveolens 30 in terms of static, reducing, or improvingvisual acuity in cases of simple myopia in the age group of 8-30 yrs. in both sexes. Materials and Methods: A total of 320 subjects were screened by Dioptric Test and Vision acuity by Snellen chart, 52 subjects who were diagnosed to have simple myopia were divided into 2 groups by Lottery method sampling, where one group was treated with Ruta graveolens 30 and another group with Placebo, out of 52 subjects 6 subjects were dropped during follow-up. 46 cases of simple myopia from the aged 8–30 years were studied by randomised control method. before the study symptoms were recorded according to the Myopic questionnaire, Dioptric Test and Vision acuity. For the study group Ruta 30 and for the Control group Placebo was given in BD oral dose for 1 day & repeated after every 15 days for 3 months, thereafter, treatment was discontinued. After stopping treatment again symptoms were recorded. Design: This is a randomized, single-blinded, experimental study. Results: Before the study, the mean of the study group was -2.11 D (Right eye) -1.72 D (Left eye), while in the placebo group -2.23D (Right eye) -1.95 D (Left Eye). The difference in means between the two groups of -0.12 (Right eye) and -0.23 (Left Eye). In Dioptric Test, marked improvement was seen in 14 (60.86%) subjects in the study group where the average reduction in dioptric number was -0.75 D, and in 3 (13.04%) subjects’ Dioptric number was static but in 6 (26.08%) subjects no improvement was seen. In visual acuity, 9 (39.13%) subjects show mark improvement with a reduction in visual acuity by 6/3, and 12 (52.17%) subjects show static numbers whereas 2 (8.69%) subjects show an increase in Visual acuity. The mean change after 3 months was 1.91 (Right Eye) and -1.65 (Left Eye) inthe Ruta group and 1.91(Right Eye) and -1.65 (Left Eye) in the placebo group respectively and the difference in their means of -0.34 (Right eye) -0.61 (Left Eye). Conclusion: The results of this study show that the use of Ruta 30 in BD orally dose for 1 day & repetition after every 15 days for 3 months has reduced significantly Myopic progression as compared to the Placebo Group.

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. As a principle, homeopathic treatment is based on understanding of the patient as a whole. Homeopathic science believes the there is an internal propensity to diseases along with external virulence. Warts can be categorised under local maladies which signify those changes and ailments that appear on the external parts of the body and as mentioned in aph. 189 and aph. 193, local maladies cannot arise persist or even grow worse without some internal cause. So, for the treatment of these affections, an internal medicine should be selected on the basis of totality of symptoms. Chronic diseases are classified into three main categories of miasms, namely, psora (itch), sycosis (condyloma), and syphilis (chancre or bubo). 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.

Bronchial asthma is a chronic, heterogeneous respiratory disorder characterized by airway inflammation, hyper-responsiveness, and variable airflow limitation. It remains a significant global health burden, affecting both adults and children, with prevalence steadily increasing over decades. Conventional management relies on bronchodilators, corticosteroids, and oxygen therapy, yet long-term control remains challenging. Homoeopathy approaches asthma by addressing both exciting and fundamental causes, often linked to chronic miasmatic backgrounds such as psoric and sycotic origins. Individualized homoeopathic remedies—including Arsenicum album, Blatta americana, Ipecacuanha, and Kali carbonicum—are prescribed based on susceptibility, clinical presentation, and underlying predisposition. While research evidence is limited, observational studies suggest potential benefits of homoeopathy in reducing exacerbations and improving quality of life. This review highlights the epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical features, conventional treatment, and homoeopathic perspectives on asthma management, emphasizing the need for further clinical trials to establish efficacy and integration into holistic care.
