The most common way to perform succussions is to place a liquid preparation inside a glass vessel and beat it vigorously against a hard elastic surface, either manually or using a mechanical apparatus. This procedure has been assumed able to transfer mechanical energy to the molecular level, where it becomes available to perform chemical work. Such interpretation has been enforced by observed changes in the electrical conductivity (EC) of High Dilutions (HD) due to succussion. In order to address this question, we compared the electrical conductivity changes of HD prepared from Vincristine sulfate (VCR) samples with those of an inert …

Paraffin: A Multicentric Double Blind Homoeopathic Pathogenetic Trial Carried Out By Ccrh, Rajpal Rajpal, V Siddiqui, N Dey, K Das, Yogendra Rai, Vinay Singh
Indian Journal of Research in Homoeopathy
Objective: Objective of the study was to elicit the pharmacodynamic response of the drug Paraffin on healthy human volunteers in non-toxic doses. Methodology: Drug was proved through a double-blind method and multi-centric study. Trial drug was proved in three potencies (6C, 30C and 200C) on 43 volunteers who were declared apparently healthy during their pre-trial medical examination by medical specialists. The volunteers consumed 56 doses (four doses per day for fourteen days) of each potency (6C, 30C and 200C) in three stages for a varying period. The symptoms generated during the trial period were noted by the volunteers and elaborated …

Objectives: This study aimed at evolving a group of useful homoeopathic medicines in the treatment of hyperlipoproteinaemia, to identify their reliable indications, most useful potencies, frequency of administration and relationship with other medicines. Methods: A prospective observational study was carried out during the period 1992-2003. Three hundred and twenty two patients with hyperlipoproteinaemia and various clinical presentations were studied. Patients of more than 30 years of age, with cholesterol > 200mg/dl, triglycerides > 170mg/dl, LDL > 150mg/dl, VLDL > 50mg/dl and HDL < 35 mg/dl were included in this study. Specific parameters were followed to assess the intensity of complaints and the improvement status. Homoeopathic medicines were prescribed in different potencies (Q to 10M), basing on the presenting complaints, mental and physical attributes of the patients. The patients were advised to have low calorie diet and regular exercise. Results: Two hundred ninety three (293) patients were followed up regularly and varying degrees of improvement were observed, viz. marked improvement in 77 patients, moderate improvement in 113 patients, mild improvement in 100 patients and no improvement in 03 patients. Abroma augusta 30, Gelsemium 30, Lycopodium 1M, Bryonia alba 30, Pulsatilla 30, Nux vomica 30 were found to be useful among the other prescribed medicines. Conclusion: Results obtained from the study are encouraging with findings that 26% of the patients improved markedly with an evidence of changes in laboratory parameters. However, an experiment in controlled setting with improved protocol and clearer outcome parameters is required.

Introduction & Objective: Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), a systemic disease, is characterized by a chronic inflammatory reaction in the synovium of joints. The inflammation is mediated by inflammatory cytokines. The objective of the study was to evaluate efficacy of homeopathic drugs and changes in the cytokine profile of rheumatoid arthritis patients treated with homeopathic drugs. Materials and Methods: A total of 35 rheumatoid arthritis patients and 10 healthy controls completed this pilot study. The patients were treated with Rhus tox. (8), Pulsatilla (8) and Medorrhinum (9) according to totality of symptoms. The control group (10) received placebo. The patients were evaluated …

Mentha piperita has been used in Homoeopathy for many conditions like dry and spasmodic cough, hoarseness of voice, husky voice, productive cough, tendency to catch cold, headache, painful throat, infantile colic, pruritus vulvae, pain in neck, pimples on face, herpetic eruptions, etc as found in the literature. Besides these, pharyngitis, vertigo, coryza, tracheitis, gastritis, constipation and Urticaria were also relieved by this medicine and thus unfolding the hidden character of the medicine in there clinical conditions during the study. A total of 6372 patients participated in this multicentric clinical verification study at various Units/Institutes under Central Council for Research in …
Theory And Instrumentation Related To Potentised Homoeopathic Medicines∗†, T Maity, D Ghosh, C Mahata
Theory And Instrumentation Related To Potentised Homoeopathic Medicines∗†, T Maity, D Ghosh, C Mahata
Indian Journal of Research in Homoeopathy
This paper offers a theory for establishing the scientific basis of homoeopathic medicines followed by an instrumentation technique named as ′dielectric dispersion of ordered molecular groups of sugar of milk caused by potentised homoeo - medicines for verification of the proposed theory. Usually one studies anomalous dielectric dispersion of a material caused by intra-molecular binding forces of separate molecules. The authors of this paper extend this concept to ordered molecular groups. The theoretical analysis suggests that there will be anomalous dielectric dispersion at selected frequencies specific to shape, size and number of atoms in the ordered molecular group of the …

Objectives: This study aimed to evolve a group of most effective homoeopathic medicines in the management of sinusitis, to identify their reliable indications, most useful potencies, frequency of administration, and their relationship with other medicines. Methods: An open, multi-centric, prospective, observational study was carried out during the period 1985 -2003. A total of 950 patients (424 males, 526 females), of both acute and chronic type, were registered on the basis of subjective and/or objective symptoms of sinusitis. Patients presenting with the complications of sinusitis or requiring hospitalization were excluded from the study. Homoeopathic medicines in different potencies (Q, 6, 30, …
