A case of apis
mellifica:When I was in my internship days, I used to learn under some homeopaths. One day a lady came with her complain regarding pain in feet & weakness. My sir & I both learned detailed case but on her first visit sir gave her only placebo. Then sir told me that he need more time to understand case. After that sir asked that lady to visit another time & he gave her natrum mur. But when sir prescribed her natrum then I wasn’t there to ask why he had given her natrum mur. After few follow up she came to visit but then sir wasn’t present there so I asked her how she was. Is she having improvement? She said no doctor I have no relief in complain. Then I decided to re-take the case found strange thing that she said she had feeling of stinging in her feet. I asked few more question which was indicated that medicine was actually apis mellifica! Then I gave her apis, and next week she came & said doctor I have such relief! I think she had 75% relief in her all complain. Then I told sir what was happened. After this incidence I learn apis mellifica & this event show me the genius of this wonderful remedy!
