Indicated Homoeopathic medicines were prescribed based on symptom totality. Regular assessments, follow-ups, and statistical analysis using t-tests and Microsoft Excel were integral components of the methodology. Results: The result reveals 80% participants shown improvement in halitosis after homoeopathic intervention while 20% shown resistant to the improvement and statistically the study is highly significant as collected t value (13.33) exceeded the table t value of 2.02 at 5% significance. Conclusion: The study found that the indicated homoeopathic medicines exhibited a notable effect in ameliorating the halitosis, assessed by organoleptic scale of age group 3 to 18 years.

This article explores the evolving discourse on the integration of homoeopathic system of medicine in perioperative care, focusing on the holistic management of patients throughout the surgical journey. Rooted in Samuel Hahnemann’s principles of individualized treatment and stimulation of the body’s healing mechanisms, homoeopathy operates on the premise that “like cures like.” Contemporary applications include addressing preoperative anxiety with medicines such as Aconitum napellus and Gelsemium sempervirens, and utilizing Arnica montana for its reputed anti-inflammatory properties during the intraoperative phase. The optimization of intraoperative comfort through homeopathy is discussed, highlighting the potential benefits of Arnica montana in minimizing side effects. Postoperative recovery involves holistic pain management using medicines like Hypericum perforatum for nerve pain and Staphysagria for wound healing. The integration of homoeopathy with conventional anaesthesia, supported by medicine like Avena sativa for sedation, showcases a comprehensive approach to enhance patient well-being. It is concluded that further more comprehensive research is warranted to explore the role of homoeopathic medicines in perioperative care.

Background: Neck pain ranks among the leading causes of disability globally, particularly affecting young adults. Neck pain ranks 4th in disability causes, affecting 6-20% of the workforce with a 50% lifetime prevalence. Annual rates vary from 15% to 50%, peaking in middle-aged females. GBD Study data shows a 21% increase in pain lasting over 3 months from 2006 to 2016. Despite its significant burden, research efforts remain limited, with only 0.12 trials per million disability-adjusted life years and a total of 30 million globally. Its nonspecific form, often multifactorial in origin, diminishes quality of life, productivity, and socioeconomic status. Effective management strategies, including drugs, surgery, and conservative therapies, remain pivotal, yet the optimal approach is uncertain. Yoga, a burgeoning complementary therapy, shows promise in alleviating musculoskeletal pain, though its specific impact on chronic non-specific neck pain remains underexplored. Homeopathy, known for its individualized approach, offers potential relief for neck pain, yet its efficacy in chronic non-specific cases warrants investigation. A comparative study is thus imperative to discern optimal treatment modalities.

Cancer remains a major global health concern, with an estimated 19.3 million new cases reported worldwide in 2020. Conventional treatments such as surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, although effective, are often associated with significant adverse effects that impact patients’ quality of life (QoL). Increasingly, patients are exploring complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), including homoeopathy, as supportive care. Homoeopathy, based on the principle of “like cures like,” aims to stimulate the body’s self-healing mechanisms through individualized treatment. Evidence suggests that adjunctive homoeopathic care may help alleviate treatment-related side effects and improve QoL in cancer patients. This review highlights the role of homoeopathy as a complementary approach in cancer management, emphasizing its potential benefits in enhancing patient well-being alongside conventional therapies.
