Leucorrhea is a thick whitish, yellowish or greenish discharge from the vagina of the female that may be normal or that may be a sign of infection. It is mucus discharge which represents desquamation of vaginal epithelial cell because of the effects of the Estrogen on the vaginal mucosa. It is important to distinguish leucorrhoea from pathological discharge. A study aimed to the females presenting leucorrhoea is more likely to be normal or infectious. Homoeopathy has a significant role in treatment of leucorrhoea.

pp. 13

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder of behavior that presents in childhood. It is a clinically heterogeneous disorder of behavior, characterized by two features - (1) impairment in social communication and interaction and (2) repetitive patterns of behavior. The diagnosis is essentially clinical and is based primarily on history-taking and observation of the child over a period. There are several standardized screening tools and scales available to help make a diagnosis. Children with autism often present with speech delay and this has to be distinguished from other conditions. ASD is often associated with comorbid conditions which have to be identified to tailor the treatment program for each child. It is important that the parents or caretakers of the child are involved in the process of assessment and diagnosis and that their misconceptions and fears are addressed.

“Homoeopathic management of polycystic ovarian disease: A Case Series study.”

with Dr. Dhanashree S. Kulkarni
4/6/2026
pp. 4

Polycystic ovarian diseases affect approximately 5-7% of women especially in the young reproductive period (second and third decade of life). The studies of family members with PCOS indicate that an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance with premature male pattern baldness as the male phenotype may exist. Major features of PCOD include menstrual dysfunction, anovulation, and signs of hyperandrogenism. Although the exact etiology is not clear, PCOD is an abnormality of the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian system. A characteristic of the syndrome is inappropriate gonadotropin secretion, which is more likely a result of, rather than a cause of, ovarian dysfunction. Clinically all types of menstrual irregularity, Obesity, Skin manifestations, Unusual hair growth & Infertility and PCOD affects premenopausal women, and the age of onset most often is perimenarchal.

Allergic rhinitis (AR) is an inflammatory disorder of the nasal mucosa induced by allergen exposure triggering IgE mediated inflammation. Clinically it is characterized by- rhinorrhea, sneezing, nasal itching and nasal congestion. AR has a considerable effect on quality of life and can have significant consequences if left untreated. AR is a global health problem affecting the people worldwide. Homoeopathic treatment is aimed at enhancing body’s own healing capacity so that human system does not react adversely to the allergens which are considered external factors or exciting cause. A case of allergic rhinitis treated with Arsenicum album, a homoeopathic medicine is reported here. This case shows the usefulness of homoeopathic medicines in allergic rhinitis.

Understanding Of Silicea As An Personality

with Dr. Saurabh Gunjal
4/6/2026
pp. 23

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.

Homeopathy And Allergic Rhinitis In Paediatrics

with Dr. Ulka Hiray

pp. 11

Allergic rhinitis is a common inflammatory condition of the nasal mucosa frequently observed in children. It is characterized by symptoms such as nasal congestion, rhinorrhea, sneezing, itching, and conjunctival irritation. The condition is considered a major chronic pediatric disorder due to its high prevalence and associated co morbidities. Allergic rhinitis is broadly classified into seasonal and perennial types depending on the duration and triggering allergens. Studies indicate that the highest incidence occurs among children aged two to ten years, with males showing a slightly higher susceptibility. The pathophysiology involves immunological hypersensitivity where allergens stimulate IgE bound mast cells, leading to the release of inflammatory mediators such as histamine and resulting in typical allergic symptoms. Environmental factors such as pollen, air pollution, and chemical irritants may aggravate the condition. Homoeopathy offers a holistic and individualized approach to the management of allergic rhinitis by selecting remedies based on the patient’s constitutional characteristics and symptom totality. Constitutional homoeopathic medicines aim to strengthen the body’s immune response and reduce both the frequency and intensity of allergic episodes. Clinical observations suggest that properly selected homoeopathic remedies provide significant relief in pediatric allergic rhinitis while minimizing the adverse effects often associated with conventional medications.
