A Case Report of Multiple Renal Calculi Treated With Individualized Homoeopathy.

Background: Mineral buildups called kidney stones can be free-floating or affixed to the renal papillae and occur in the renal calyces and pelvis. A major morbidity is associated with the widespread problem of renal stone disease. Open surgical lithotomy and minimally invasive endourological procedures are now the standard for the management of kidney stone symptoms. However, individualized homeopathy (iHOM) has greatly improved treatment of Multiple Renal Calculi. Methods: In the OPD of Dr. D. Y. Patil Homoeopathic Medical College and Research Centre, a 26-year-old female patient with multiple renal calculus was treated homeopathically from August 2021 to January 2022. During the follow-up visits outcome was assessed. To assess whether the changes were due to homoeopathic medicine, an assessment using the modified Naranjo criteria was performed. Results: Over an observation period of 5 months beneficial result from iHOM medicine was seen and so can be used by the physicians in the treatment of Renal Calculi as a complementary health practice. Conclusion: Based on the totality of symptoms, individualized Homoeopathic Medicine (iHOM) Lycopodium Clavatum 30C was given and worked well to dissolve and expel all renal stones. Hence, homeopathy is effective in the fragmentation and ejection of renal calculi and remains one of the most popular treatments for urological problems.

A Case Report of Alopecia Areata Treated With Individualized Homoeopathy.

Introduction: Hair is regarded as an essential part of human identity, and losing it has a negative effect on many facets of one's quality of life. Alopecia areata (AA) is a chronic, non-scarring hair loss of the scalp or body hair. It is believed to be an autoimmune disorder where the body cannot recognize its own cells, resulting in the subsequent destruction of the hair follicles. The efficacy of the available treatment is not adequate and remission of hair follicles is unpredictable. However, individualized homoeopathy (iHOM) has shown great results in treating AA. Methods: At the Dermatological Department of D.Y. Patil Homoeopathic Medical College & Research Center, India, an 11-year-old female patient diagnosed with Alopecia areata was treated homeopathically from July 2021 to November 2021. During the follow-up visits, the outcome was assessed. To assess whether the changes were due to homoeopathic medicine, an assessment using the modified Naranjo criteria was performed. Results: Over an observation period of 5 months, beneficial result from iHOM medicine was seen, and so can be used by physicians in treating Alopecia Areata as a complementary health practice. Conclusion: Considering the multi-factorial etiology of Alopecia Areata, iHOM medicine and the auxillary line of treatment are effective in treating Alopecia Areata.
