Aims: To evaluate whether individualized homoeopathy can produce any significant effect different from placebo in essential hypertension by comparing the lowering of blood pressure between groups. Settings and Design: A prospective, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel-arm clinical trial was conducted at the Outpatient Clinic of the Mahesh Bhattacharyya Homoeopathy Medical College and Hospital, West Bengal.

Homoeopathic Raw Drug Plant Sources- Ii: Non-Angiosperm Groups Bryophytes, Pteridophytes & Gymnosperms, D Baburat, H Gupta Mar 2010

Homoeopathic Raw Drug Plant Sources- Ii: Non-Angiosperm Groups Bryophytes, Pteridophytes & Gymnosperms, D Baburat, H Gupta

Indian Journal of Research in Homoeopathy

Among the plants used in the homoeopathic system of medicine,by far a large number are derived from the flowering plants. Of the lower groups,those having chlorophyll but lacking a proper organized higher plant structure belong to Algae and Lichens which have been dealt with separately, along with the non- chlorophyllous Fungi. The Bryophytes constitute a separate group of which only one representative is used in Homoeopathy. These plants too lack an organized plant body though analogous structures begin to evolve. From the group of plants known as Pteridophytes, an organized plant body structure emerges having stem-like,root-like and leaf-like organs.Only five …

Homoeopathic Drugs Natrum Sulphuricum And Carcinosin Prevent Azo Dye Induced Hepatocarcinogenesis In Mice, Nandini Bhattacharjee, Pathikrit Banerjee, Anisur Khuda Bukhsh

Indian Journal of Research in Homoeopathy

The study was undertaken to examine whether Carcinosin-200 (Car-200) could provide additional ameliorative effect, if used intermittently with Natrum sulphuricum-30 (Nat sulph-30) against hepatocarcinogenesis induced by chronic feeding of p-dimethylaminoazobenzene (p-DAB) and phenobarbital (PB) in mice (Mus musculus). Mice were randomly divided into seven sub-groups: (i) normal untreated; (ii) normal+succussed alcohol; (iii) p-DAB (0.06%) + PB (0.05%); (iv) p-DAB + PB +succussed alcohol (v) p-DAB+PB+Nat sulph-30, (vi) p-DAB+PB+Car-200, and (vii) p-DAB+PB+ Nat sulph-30+Car-200. They were sacrificed at 30, 60, 90 and 120 days for assessment of genotoxicity through cytogenetical end-points like chromosome aberrations, micronuclei, mitotic Index and sperm head anomaly …
