Individualized treatment

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.

Introduction - Urticaria is a common dermatological disorder characterized by the sudden appearance of transient, pruritic wheals resulting from localized dermal edema. It affects approximately 15–25% of the population at least once during their lifetime and may present in acute or chronic forms depending on duration and recurrence. Case Summary -This case report describes the homoeopathic management of a 30-year-old male presenting with acute urticarial eruptions, following partial and temporary relief from conventional medication. Individualized homoeopathic treatment resulted in marked clinical improvement. Result- This case illustrates the clinical relevance of individualized homeopathic prescribing in a patient with acute urticaria. The therapeutic outcome was assessed using the Modified Naranjo Criteria for Homoeopathy (MONARCH), which yielded a score of +9, suggesting a probable causal relationship between the intervention and the observed improvement. Conclusion - This case demonstrates the effectiveness of individualized homoeopathic treatment using LM potency in urticaria, highlighting holistic case analysis and MONARCH-supported clinical improvement with sustained symptomatic relief.
