Indian Journal of Research in Homoeopathy

Context: Clinical verification is an ongoing research program of the Council that verified many rare homoeopathic drugs. Aim: This study was carried out to clinically verify the "symptomatology" of Cynodon dactylon and to ascertain the prevalence of symptoms in the "improved" and "not improved" groups. Materials and Methods: The study was a multicenter, open, observational study. A total of 462 patients were enrolled after matching with the available symptom, compendium of the drug, and eligibility criteria in seven units/institutes of the Council. The medicine was prescribed in 6C, 30C, 200C and 1M potencies as per the need of each patient, …

Role Of Homoeopathic Medicines In Prostate Enlargement: A Retrospective Observational Study, Girish Gupta, Santosh Singh Dec 2016

Role Of Homoeopathic Medicines In Prostate Enlargement: A Retrospective Observational Study, Girish Gupta, Santosh Singh

Indian Journal of Research in Homoeopathy

Background: Prostatic enlargement (prostatomegaly) is a common condition in aging men which can be progressive and lead to acute urinary retention and ultimately need for surgery. Although clinical evidence of disease occurs less commonly, symptoms of prostatic obstruction are also age related and if untreated affect quality of life. Patients with huge prostatic enlargement mostly undergo surgical intervention. Objective: To assess the usefulness of homoeopathic medicines in patients with huge prostatomegaly, a clinical study was conducted at Gaurang Clinic and Centre for Homoeopathic Research, Lucknow, India. Materials and Methods: A total of 116 patients have been shortlisted with prostate weight …

An Open-Label Pilot Study To Explore Usefulness Of Homoeopathic Treatment In Nonerosive Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease, Renu Mittal, Anil Khurana, M Ghosh, Ramesh Bawaskar, Divya Taneja, Sandhya Kashyap, Raj Manchanda Sep 2016

An Open-Label Pilot Study To Explore Usefulness Of Homoeopathic Treatment In Nonerosive Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease, Renu Mittal, Anil Khurana, M Ghosh, Ramesh Bawaskar, Divya Taneja, Sandhya Kashyap, Raj Manchanda

Indian Journal of Research in Homoeopathy

Background and Aim: Nonerosive gastroesophageal reflux disease or nonerosive reflux disease (NERD) is characterized by troublesome reflux-related symptoms in the absence of esophageal erosions/breaks at conventional endoscopy. There are a number of medicines cited in homoeopathic literature which can be used for treatment of symptoms such as heartburn and regurgitation. A pilot study was undertaken to explore usefulness of homoeopathic medicines in treatment of NERD. Methodology: In this study, 78 patients were screened and 34 were enrolled, having symptoms of heartburn and/or regurgitation at least twice a week, having a gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) symptom score of more than 4. …

The Contribution Of Homeogenomic And Homeogenetic Studies In The Support Of The Practice Of Homoeopathy, Peter Kay, Anisur Khuda-Bukhsh Jun 2016

The Contribution Of Homeogenomic And Homeogenetic Studies In The Support Of The Practice Of Homoeopathy, Peter Kay, Anisur Khuda-Bukhsh

Indian Journal of Research in Homoeopathy

Almost two decades ago, it was postulated that homoeopathic remedies could deliver their benefits by interacting with the genetic blueprint. Over the years, the results of many homeogenomic gene expression studies have confirmed this postulate. The results of homeogenomic studies have begun to recognize which of the estimated 25,000 human genes are targeted by different homoeopathic remedies and how the expression profiles of these targeted genes are rearranged. From a mechanistic standpoint, seminal homeogenomic studies have shown that homoeopathic remedies can also facilitate epigenetic modifications such as DNA methylation. This is an important discovery because DNA methylation plays an important …

Standardization Of The Potentizing Machine And Quantification Of Impact Of Potentization, Rajesh Shah Jun 2016

Standardization Of The Potentizing Machine And Quantification Of Impact Of Potentization, Rajesh Shah

Indian Journal of Research in Homoeopathy

Introduction: Lack of accuracy and uniformity of impact have been the limitations of the ancient and current methods of potentization. Non-standardized electromechanical potentizers are in use across industry. It is very important that within each manufacturing process, the number of succussions should remain constant as well as the impact given (force exerted) is quantified. The author proposes to give importance to the force parameters in potentization and quantify the impact of potentization. Materials and Methods: The author develops electromechanical potentizer with certain specifications such as arm length, weight, and angle at which the arm drops at the base. The machine …

Therapeutic Evaluation Of Homoeopathic Drug Crotalus Horridus 200c Against Ehrlichiosis-Infected Dogs In Mizoram, Isaac Tungnunga, Kalyan Sarma, Parimal Roychoudhury, Sonjoy Borthakur, Gunjan Das, H Prasad, Subendu Behera

Indian Journal of Research in Homoeopathy

Objective: To study, the effect of a homoeopathic medicine Crotalus horridus 200C on ehrlichiosis in dogs in an endemic area of Aizawl district of Mizoram state of India. Materials and Methods: To evaluate the efficacy of Crotalus horridus 200C against ehrlichiosis dogs. 12 positive cases confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) were divided into two groups comprising six dogs in each group. One group was treated with standard therapy (doxycycline) and other group was treated with Crotalus horridus 200C at 4 pills orally for 20 days.

Prognostic Factor Research In Homoeopathy, Lex Rutten Mar 2016

Prognostic Factor Research In Homoeopathy, Lex Rutten

Indian Journal of Research in Homoeopathy

Validation of homoeopathic medicines is about validating effectiveness in individual cases. Homoeopathic practitioners base their expectation that a medicine will work on the experience that specific symptoms of the patient indicate specific medicines. The prevalence of such symptoms is higher in a population responding well to a specific medicine than in the remainder of the population. This principle has a solid mathematical foundation in Bayes' theorem, identifies homoeopathic symptoms as prognostic factors, and offers an interesting perspective of individualized research. This kind of research depends on recording symptoms and results of treatment. An important challenge in this research is establishing …


Homoeopathic Treatment In A Case Of Co-Morbid Atopic Dermatitis And Depressive Disorder, Suraia Parveen Mar 2016

Homoeopathic Treatment In A Case Of Co-Morbid Atopic Dermatitis And Depressive Disorder, Suraia Parveen

Indian Journal of Research in Homoeopathy

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a skin disease characterized by itching, typical morphology, and distribution of rash, chronic relapsing course, and personal or family history of “atopic diathesis.” Stress is an important precipitating factor of AD. Stress has also some causal link with depression. Rationale of this case report is to demonstrate the co-occurrence of AD and depression in a patient, and better improvement of AD occurs when homoeopathic treatment focuses on psychological symptoms. Here, a 38-year-old male presented with a 6-month history of eczematous skin lesions with associated symptoms of depression in the background of chronic ongoing stress. A diagnosis …
