Hemophilia is an X linked hereditary bleeding disorder characterized by a deficiency of clotting factors, resulting in defective blood coagulation and recurrent bleeding episodes. Approximately 90 percent of severe hemophilia patients live in developing countries where access to adequate health care resources is limited. Conventional management primarily involves clotting factor infusion and physiotherapy, but the high cost of factor replacement therapy makes it difficult for many patients in countries like India to receive adequate treatment or prophylaxis. In addition, safe and effective pain management options are limited. In this context, the present study evaluated the efficacy of homoeopathic medicines in the management of bleeding episodes among hemophilia patients through a double blind placebo controlled trial. A total of 53 patients with Hemophilia A and B were initially treated with standard management along with placebo homoeopathic medicines for one year, followed by the same treatment combined with active homoeopathic medicines during the subsequent year. Outcomes were assessed by blind evaluators based on the frequency of bleeding episodes, duration of healing, requirement of clotting factors, and pain score ratings. Homoeopathic medicines were selected by experienced physicians based on constitutional and acute symptom presentation. The results demonstrated significant improvement in the frequency and severity of bleeding episodes, healing duration, pain scores, and reduction in the requirement of blood products. The findings suggest that individualized homoeopathic treatment may contribute to improved quality of life and reduced economic burden for hemophilia patients when used alongside standard medical care.

Premature menopause, also known as premature ovarian failure (POF), is an underdiagnosed reproductive health issue affecting women under the age of 40. Unlike natural menopause, which usually occurs between the ages of 45 and 55 years, premature menopause leads to an early loss or dysfunction of ovarian activity. Recent surveys in India have indicated an increasing prevalence of early menopause among younger women, highlighting the growing concern regarding women’s health and hormonal imbalance. Premature ovarian failure occurs when the ovaries stop functioning properly, resulting in irregular ovulation and hormonal disturbances. Although women with POF may still have some ovarian follicles, these follicles either fail to mature or function effectively. Several factors such as genetic conditions, autoimmune disorders, cancer treatments, thyroid dysfunction, viral infections, and lifestyle related stress may contribute to the condition, although in many cases the exact cause remains unknown. Common symptoms include irregular menstrual cycles, hot flashes, night sweats, decreased sexual drive, vaginal dryness, mood changes, and weight fluctuations. Diagnosis is primarily based on hormonal evaluation, particularly elevated levels of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) measured through blood tests. Although premature menopause cannot be reversed, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is commonly used to manage symptoms and reduce long term health risks such as osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease. Early diagnosis and appropriate medical management are essential to improve the quality of life and overall health outcomes of affected women.

The general concept in Homeopathy towards treatment of the sick is Treat the patient not the disease. On a superficial sense, this may be preposterous, but in a deeper sense it conveys its holistic concepts towards the patient. A patient with hypertension, diabetes mellitus and COPD may express multitude of symptoms common to each of these diseases. Based on the clinical findings and diagnostic evidences, he is considered as a patient of hypertension, diabetes and COPD. Such a concept necessitates different prescriptions to balance the patho- physiological changes in the patient’s health. Whether the patient is lean or obese, irritable or gentle does not matter in selection of remedies. Even the patient is not personally present for consultation; the medicines can be prescribed merely based on the diagnostic evidences. Most of these prescriptions shall give relief to the suffering.

Among homoeopaths the idea of specialist provision for children followed the general trend. it was encouraged by the high morbidity and mortality among children due to poverty. Homoeopathic physicians and their supports wished to give poor children the benefits of the system. An understanding of place of homoeopathy in pediatric as in other branch of medicine, can best be achieved an appreciation of its meaning. Children are frequent visitors for homeopathic consultation. As physicians we must be updated with current research literature for ourselves and also to educate parents. This article is a small effort to provide research updates related to pediatric disorders and role of homeopathy.

Causation plays a major role behind every disease. The cause and its corresponding effect combine with the individuality of the patient helps to form the totality. The Aim and objectiveswas to study the utility of rubric “Ailments from” using Synthesis Repertory 10.0 (RADAR) and its application in Homoeopathic case management, to study the rubrics and sub- rubrics of “Ailments from” through cases with Synthesis Repertory 10.0 and to classify the rubric “Ailments from” in terms of symptomatology. In this study synthesis repertory is used by applying the knowledge of reportorial totality and using the Ailment factor of the illness for treating the case to make the prescription in Homeopathy more substantial. Theneedforthis studywas tofacilitate aclear understandingand importanceof therubric“Ailments from” in clinical practice. Methods: Simple random technique of sampling with 30 cases in which the patient was enrolled till the target of 30 cases was achieved. The cases were selected onbasis of inclusion and exclusion criteria. All cases were taken as per the case record format prepared for the study. Cases was collected from the CollegeOPD, Guide OPD, Peripheral OPD. Constructing the totality of symptoms andrepertorization was done for each case by using RADAR Synthesis repertory 10.0. Prescription of each case was based on the rubric “Ailments from” of the individual case. Changes in symptoms and clinical presentation were the parameters for assessing cases as marked improvement, improving and not improved. Results: Out of 30 cases, 21 cases showed marked improvement, 8 cases were improving and 1 case was not improved. Conclusion: This study provides evidence to say that the rubric “Ailments from” from RADAR Synthesis repertory 10.0 is useful as a characteristic symptom in homoeopathic case management.

Hypersomnia or Hypersomnolence is an inability to stay awake and alert during major waking episodes, resulting in periods of irrepressible need for sleep or unintended lapses into drowsiness or sleep. It is a neurobiological disorder where there is a disparity between sleep inducing and alertness promoting neurotransmitter which can be evaluated using ESS scale. Hypersomnia may impact on the day-to-day activities of an individual. Treating this disorder by conventional line of treatment may be expensive whereas, homoeopathic treatment might be cost-effective.

Insomnia is a prevalent sleep disorder characterized by difficulty in initiating or maintaining sleep, leading to fatigue, reduced productivity, and negative health outcomes. Conventional management includes short-term hypnotics, psychological, and behavioral therapies, yet many cases remain untreated or self-managed with over-the-counter medications. Homoeopathy, with its individualized and holistic approach, has been explored as an alternative therapy. Historical accounts, such as Dr. Kent’s conversion to homoeopathy following his wife’s recovery from sleeplessness, highlight its perceived efficacy. Although literature documents various homoeopathic remedies—such as Aconite, Belladonna, Coffea cruda, Nux vomica, Opium, Avena sativa, Kali bromatum, and Passiflora incarnata—clinical trials remain limited. Remedies are prescribed based on specific etiologies including anxiety, stress, pain, cardiac or respiratory conditions, old age, substance use, and neurological disorders. Homoeopathy emphasizes individualized treatment, aiming to restore natural sleep without dependency. This review underscores the potential role of homoeopathy in insomnia management while noting the need for more rigorous clinical evidence.
