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 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 .

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.

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most common bacterial infections in children, especially in developing countries, following gastrointestinal and respiratory infections. Pediatric UTIs may lead to significant morbidity and long-term complications such as hypertension and impaired renal function if not managed properly. The incidence of UTI varies according to age and sex, with a higher prevalence in girls compared to boys. Common causative organisms include Escherichia coli, Klebsiella, Proteus, Enterococcus, and Pseudomonas species. UTIs generally occur due to ascending infection through the fecal-perineal-urethral route. Clinical manifestations vary depending on age, ranging from fever, vomiting, irritability, and poor feeding in infants to dysuria, frequency, abdominal pain, and urinary urgency in older children. Diagnosis is primarily based on urine examination obtained through reliable methods such as catheterization or suprapubic aspiration, along with supportive investigations including complete blood count, ultrasonography, and micturating cystourethrogram when necessary. Homoeopathy, based on the principle “Similia Similibus Curentur,” offers a holistic and individualized approach for the management of UTIs in children. Several homoeopathic remedies such as Cantharis, Cannabis sativa, Petroselinum, Sulphur, Clematis, Equisetum, and Sabal serrulata are indicated according to the characteristic symptoms of the patient. These medicines, prepared from natural substances and administered in minimum doses, are considered safe and gentle for pediatric use. This literature review highlights the epidemiology, etiology, clinical features, diagnosis, and homoeopathic management of urinary tract infections in children. Further clinical research and well-designed studies are required to establish the effectiveness of homoeopathic medicines in the treatment and prevention of pediatric UTIs.

Gout, a form of inflammatory arthritis, poses significant challenges in its management due to limited efficacy and adverse effects associated with conventional therapies. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of Bacillus no.7, a probiotic agent, and individualized homeopathic medicine in the treatment of gout. A comparative interventional study was conducted on 46 patients diagnosed with gout, systematically assigned to two groups: Group A receiving individualized homeopathic medicine , Group B receiving Bacillus no. 7. ACR EULAR Criteria was utililized for screening the potential patients of gout.The primary outcome measures serum uric acid levels, assessed at baseline and follow-up visits over a period of 6 months. Secondary outcomes encompassed reduction in intensity of pain (using NPRS). Statistical analysis revealed significant improvements in pain intensity and serum uric acid levels in both intervention groups. However, significant difference was observed between Bacillus no.7 and individualized homeopathic medicine groups in terms of efficacy. Furthermore, both interventions demonstrated a favorable safety profile with minimal adverse effects. Overall, our findings suggests that individualized homeopathic medicine may offer promising alternative therapeutic options for managing gout as compared to Bacillus no.7, warranting further investigation into their mechanisms of action and long-term effects.[1][4]

Diabetes has a significant and growing disease burden in every country, owing to the global growth in obesity and poor lifestyles. Abroma Augusta Mother tincture as add on therapy can give better results in management of Diabetes Mellitus type II, as per the Homoeopathic Literature. OBJECTIVE: Primary objective: To study if there is any significant difference in the effectiveness of management of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus between two groups Group A: Abroma Augusta Ø along with Oral Hypoglycaemic Agents (OHA). Group B: Only OHA. Secondary objective: To evaluate the changes in the HbA1c level in Type 2 DM patients after the intervention of Abroma Augusta Ø. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 46 subjects of Type II DM were included in the study based on convenience sampling following inclusion and exclusion criteria. This was pre-test and post-test study of HbA1c of patients for 6 months, along with FBS. Intervention of Abroma Augusta Ø was made along with their regular OHA. The data was statistically analyzed using unpaired‘t’ test RESULT: Table value of t for 45 degrees of freedom is 2.02 at 5% (0.05) level of significance. Calculated value of t = 2.48 is greater than the table value at 5% level of significance. After the study we saw that Abroma Augusta Ø along with OHA was more effective in reducing the symptoms of the patient as compared to oral hypoglycaemic agents alone. CONCLUSION: According to the study, we conclude that Abroma Augusta Ø along with OHA is effective in reducing HbA1c of type 2 DM patients
