Silica, chemically known as silicon dioxide (SiO₂), is one of the most abundant minerals in the earth’s crust and a major component of sand, quartz, and various silicate compounds. In nature, silica contributes to the structural strength of plants and forms an essential part of geological and biological systems. In homoeopathy, Silicea is recognized as an important constitutional remedy with distinct physical and psychological characteristics. Individuals requiring Silicea often display a clear sense of identity but experience deep anxiety about how they are perceived by others. This insecurity frequently leads to perfectionism, fear of criticism, and difficulty expressing themselves confidently despite possessing intellectual ability. Such individuals may appear outwardly stubborn and determined but are internally fragile and sensitive to pressure. Physically, they often exhibit poor assimilation of nutrients, sensitivity to cold, and general weakness of vitality. The remedy reflects themes of lack of inner strength or “grit,” similar to the structural role of silica in nature. Understanding the mental and physical characteristics of Silicea helps homoeopathic practitioners identify suitable cases and apply the remedy effectively in clinical practice.

The Kali group in homoeopathy represents a distinct constitutional pattern that evolves through different stages of life, beginning from childhood and continuing into old age. In childhood, Kali individuals are typically oversensitive, dependent, and strongly attached to family members, often seeking affection, care, and attention. Their upbringing frequently involves a mixture of pampering and strict moral discipline, which shapes their conscientious yet reserved personality. During adolescence, emotional sensitivity, insecurity, and dependency become more pronounced, particularly in relationships and social interactions. Disappointments or emotional conflicts may lead to anxiety, repression of feelings, or withdrawal. In adulthood, Kali individuals often display ego-centric tendencies focused around family responsibilities, while remaining pragmatic, routine-oriented, and cautious in facing challenges. In old age, dependency, anxiety, and vulnerability may increase, often accompanied by physical degenerative changes affecting vital organs. The evolutionary pattern of the Kali group highlights the interplay between emotional dependency, responsibility, and anxiety throughout life, providing valuable insights for homoeopathic constitutional analysis and remedy selection.

Urticaria (hive) is transient lesion that is composed of central wheal surrounded by an erythematous face. Urticaria (hives) consist of pruritic / edematous, erythematous blanching papules that are round / oval shape, have pale, raised centers (wheals) are several millimeter to a few centimeter in size, and are transient lasting minutes to days.[1] Episodes daily or almost daily symptoms or recurrent hives over a period of considered acute, those lasting longer are said to be chronic.[1] Epidemiology: - Urticaria occurs is 15% to 20% of individuals, sometimes during their lives can affect both genders and all faces. Acute urticaria is more common in young adults and children.

Background: The various levels of severity are defined on the basis of adaptive functioning, and not IQ scores, because it is adaptive functioning that determines the level of supports required. Moreover IQ measures are less valid in the lower end of IQ range. Mental retardation is a disability characterized by significant limitations both in intellectual functioning and in adaptive behavior as expressed in conceptual, social, and practical adaptive skills. Although MR is not treatable, many associated impairments are amenable to homoeopathic intervention and therefore benefit from early identification. Objectives: 1. To study different clinical presentations of mental retardation. 2. To evaluate the usefulness of homoeopathic medicines in the improvement of adaptive behaviors of mentally retarded children. 3. To evaluate the usefulness of homoeopathic medicines in the improvement of IQ of mentally retarded children.

The aim was to study whether the anti- miasmatic remedies were effective in cases of children suffering from blindness and to identify the miasm in these children. Material and methods: 30 cases were selected by experimental, non-randomized uncontrolled trial.Visual acuity before the treatment was assessed in each eye with the help of Snellen’s chart. After a detail case taking totality has been generated and homoeopathic medicine has been given, and patient was observed every month. Visual acuity on Snellen’s chart before and after the treatment was recorded. As there was no proper scale assessed due to various clinical presentation in these cases, so we had done a proper grading of vision as per the improvement in patient by using Snellen’s E chart and the students who did not cooperate with the ‘E’ chart, were assessed for the ability to fix and follow light, and those who were not responding to light were assessed by hand motion movement, finger counting and recognition of colours. After the values which were obtained from this grading of vision, the study was analysed with paired T test. Result: The study also revealed that the miasmatic background of the patient mostly indicate Psora. From the 30 cases, most frequently used medicine was Sulphur in 6 cases.Out of the 30 cases, 13 patients are responding to Torch light examination, 01 patient is responding to hand motion examination, 11 patients are responding to finger counting examination, 06 patients are respondingto colours & 03 patients are responding to Snellen’s chart & 3 patients show improvement in Snellen’s chart. Conclusion: It was found that Anti- miasmatic remedies are effective in cases of children suffering from blindness.

Japanese Encephalitis (JE) is a serious viral disease affecting millions of people, particularly children, in several Asian countries including India. The absence of effective antiviral therapy and concerns about adverse effects of existing vaccines highlight the need for alternative therapeutic approaches. This study investigated the effect of ultradiluted preparations of Belladonna (3, 6, 30, and 200 potencies) on Japanese Encephalitis virus infection using the chick chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) model. Fertile embryonated hen eggs were inoculated with JE virus (Nakayama strain) followed by the administration of ultradiluted Belladonna preparations. Viral growth was assessed by observing pock formation on the CAM after incubation. The results demonstrated a significant reduction in pock counts in the presence of Belladonna preparations compared to virus control groups, indicating decreased viral activity. The findings suggest that ultradiluted Belladonna may inhibit viral growth, possibly due to the action of calystegines, glycosidase inhibitor compounds present in Atropa belladonna. These compounds may interfere with viral glycoprotein processing and replication. The study indicates a potential role of ultradiluted Belladonna in reducing JE virus infection, although further research is required to understand the exact mechanism and confirm its clinical relevance.

Trigeminal neuralgia is characterised by unilateral lancinating severe stabbing recurrent episodes of facial pain. It most commonly involves the 2nd and 3rd division of the trigeminal nerve territory. A case report has been presented below showing the usefulness of calcarea carbonium in the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia (TN).

Premenstrual syndrome is a group of symptoms which is physical, psychological and behavioural. The exact cause and etiology is unknown but it seems to related to ovarian function and other endocrinal factors. The severity of symptoms varies from female to female and it depends on individuality of the female. Some female may experience such severity that may disturb their daily activities and seeking for medication so we want to know the homoeopathic approach in PREMENSTRUAL SYNDROME .A case of premenstrual syndrome of a female treated with homoeopathy is reported here. This case shows the usefulness of homoeopathic remedy Folliculinum.

Glaucoma is a serious ocular condition characterized by increased intraocular pressure above 20 mm of Hg, which can lead to progressive and irreversible vision loss if left untreated. In India, glaucoma is the third leading cause of blindness, affecting nearly 12 million people and accounting for approximately 12.8 percent of the country's blindness cases. The disease can occur in individuals of all age groups, including newborns, children, and the elderly, although the risk increases significantly after the age of forty. Several factors contribute to a higher risk of developing glaucoma, such as a family history of the disease, systemic conditions like diabetes mellitus, thyroid disorders, and hypertension, as well as prolonged use of steroid medications. Other associated factors include myopia, eye injuries, frequent headaches, and the use of certain medications for insomnia, anxiety, depression, asthma, and Parkinsonism. Early detection through regular eye examinations is essential to prevent irreversible blindness. Awareness initiatives such as International Glaucoma Day, observed on March 6, emphasize the importance of timely diagnosis and preventive eye care.

Human behavior and abilities are often believed to be determined by inherited genetic traits; however, scientific understanding of human development highlights the critical role of upbringing and environmental influence. Unlike other mammals, human infants are born at an early developmental stage due to evolutionary adaptations related to increased brain size and the limitations of the human birth canal. As a result, much of the human brain’s growth and functional development occurs during the first few years of life outside the womb. Because the brain is not fully programmed at birth, most human behaviors are not instinctive but learned through interaction with parents, caregivers, and society. This early developmental period allows children to acquire language, habits, values, and skills through observation and education. Consequently, upbringing and cultural environment play a decisive role in shaping personality, behavior, and achievements. The human brain’s remarkable capacity for learning and adaptation creates vast possibilities for individual development, emphasizing that social and educational influences during formative years are more significant than biological pedigree in determining human potential and accomplishments.
