Homoeopathic Management Of Schizophrenia: A Prospective, Non-Comparative, Open-Label Observational Study, Praveen Oberai, S Gopinadhan, Anita Sharma, Chaturbhuja Nayak, Kalpana Gautam
Indian Journal of Research in Homoeopathy
Objectives: To evaluate the usefulness of homoeopathic intervention in Schizophrenia, in untreated cases and antipsychotic treatment resistant cases, to verify indications of medicines, and to assess relapse, if any. Materials and Methods: A prospective, non-comparative, open-label observational study was carried out from October 2005-September 2010 by CCRH at Central Research Institute (H), Kottayam, Kerala, India. Patients between 20 and 60 years of age, presenting with symptoms of Schizophrenia were screened for inclusion and exclusion criteria. The patients who were on antipsychotic drugs were allowed to continue the same along with homoeopathic medicine, the dose of antipsychotics was monitored by the …

Pharmacognostic And Physicochemical Standardization Of Homoeopathic Drug: Rumex Crispus L., Subramanian Palani, Padma Pogaku, Sudhakar Penthala, P Narayana
Indian Journal of Research in Homoeopathy
Background: Rumex crispus L., commonly called as "yellow dock" in English, "patience frisee" in French, and "Ampfer" in German, and ′aceda de culebra′ in Spanish is a well-known herb belonging to Polygonaceae. Roots of the herb are used as medicine in homoeopathy. Objective: The pharmacognostic and physicochemical studies on roots have been carried out to enable the use of correct species and standardize the raw material. Materials and Methods: Pharmacognostic studies on roots of authentic raw drug have been carried out; physicochemical parameters, namely, extractive value, ash values, formulation besides weight per mL, total solids, alcohol content along with high-performance …
Standardization Of The Potentizing Machine And Quantification Of Impact Of Potentization, Rajesh Shah
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 …
